Executive Peer Roundtable IT Strategies Northeast
Enterprise Content Management Strategies for Success
As document management, imaging and workflow systems have become more sophisticated and interoperable, the ability for insurance companies to implement a true enterprise content management (ECM) strategy has become much more feasible. What are the technical, financial and cultural challenges related to adopting ECM, and what are some of the approaches carriers are taking to address these issues and gain the benefits of a more automated, enterprise approach to gathering and delivering content of all types?

Speed to Market
Rapid product development is moving from being a competitive advantage to a competitive necessity. Even as more and more carriers adopt revised processes
and more agile technology, evidence is mounting that product freshness drives greater portfolio profitability. The possibility of regulatory reform is simultaneously driving changes that will eventually narrow the window of time regulators take to approve products, thereby depriving carriers of an excuse for slow development.

ITS Executive Roundtable Part IV
Sponsored by Pegasystems
Achieving BPM Maturity: Building the Foundation Via SOA & Integration Capabilities
As carriers strive to automate key processes in order to improve service, gain efficiencies and reduce risk, the concept of Business Process Management (BPM) is coming to the forefront within the insurance industry. BPM is viewed as key to more effective deployment of IT resources and activities (the technology lifecycle), not to mention comprehensive reengineering of core business practices. As such IT executives charged with incorporating BPM into processes such as underwriting and claims are focused on the architectures, frameworks and standards that can support and enable process automation. At the same time, there's a more qualitative aspect to BPM that has to do with true IT/business partnerships and shared understanding of the critical business problems being addressed.

Executive Peer Roundtable Outsourcing Series - Part 1: Optimized Sourcing: Onshore, Offshore & BPO
Having accepted outsourcing and off-shoring as more than cost-cutting strategies, insurance companies are not only gaining efficiencies and access to better technology, but also improving their operating models and potentially gaining access to IT talent they cannot find in their local markets. Along with innovative technology architecture approaches, creative sourcing thus becomes another means of gaining agility in response to changing market conditions.
But with these benefits come potential legal, management and financial challenges - and ultimately an imperative to dramatically innovate a new kind of insurance IT organization. Participants in this Executive Roundtable series will examine the new economics of outsourcing and explore a range of sourcing strategies and their corresponding challenges. For more information, please contact Senior Editor, Anthony O'Donnell, at aodonnell@cmp.com.

The Future of Claims Forum: Finding Strategic Value
The claim is the ultimate "moment of truth" in the insurer/policyholder relationship. Everything from service to customer retention to regulatory compliance to carrier profitability is encompassed by the claims transaction. And, as the political fallout post-Hurricane Katrina demonstrates, an insurer's reputation, not to mention its ability to conduct business, can be dramatically affected by how it administers claims.
That's why savvy companies are starting to take a more strategic, forward-looking approach to claims, implementing an array of leading edge technologies and processes that can reduce leakage, improve fraud detection, enhance underwriting and regulatory reporting, and upgrade service and performance.

ITS Executive Roundtable - Part 3: Next Steps in Legacy Modernization
Recent activity in the insurance technology market suggests that the industry may finally be making real progress toward the goal of integrated core insurance processing across the enterprise. Systems based on newer technology are delivering results and encouraging greater confidence in transformational technology investment. However, the factors in determining the right next steps toward core systems modernization varies from company to company, and carriers face numerous challenges -- not just technology and available systems, but also budget and resource issues, difficulties in making a business case, and mergers and other organizational restructuring -- on the road to successful legacy modernization. Carriers may recognize the necessity of "taking the plunge," but what are the critical factors to mitigate the risk and ensure success of such a significant undertaking?

Executive Peer Roundtable Series, Part II: Mastering Speed-to-Market
Supporting carrier efforts to get new products to market continues to be one of the most difficult challenges faced by insurance technology organizations. The innate complexity of insurance products, the traditional inflexibility of insurance carrier policy administration systems and the involved, collaborative process of creating products consume an inordinate amount of resources and conspire to slow product creation, making it difficult to take timely advantage of market opportunities. This meeting will touch on the limits of legacy policy administration systems and the improved product development capabilities of newer systems, and will also aim at identifying the different stages of product creation, applicable to different lines of business, with the purpose of identifying best practices.
