The Challenge........are you ready?There have been few times when the business of insurance and financial services has been as challenging as it is now. Relentless business pressure, immovable regulation and intense market scrutiny means that underwriters, brokers and financial service managers must act. Competition continues to increase as banks and brokers add insurance products to their portfolio, and likewise, insurance organisations add broader and wider financial offerings to their customers. Industry consolidation has reduced the number of players in the market but deepened the capabilities of those remaining, making it more important than ever for firms to differentiate themselves in the market. As companies merge, there is a critical need to integrate data from disparate sources and systems. Historically, companies have thrown money at technology to deliver solutions but there have been many horror stories so directors are rightly cautious. To be competitive today, companies must meet the expectations of both their customers, who expect constantly improving levels of customer service, and their stockholders, who expect bottom and top line results. Improving operational efficiencies, customer retention and acquisition can quickly deliver long-term return on investment (ROI), and can have a profound effect on organisation's bottom line. The EventsThese events will demonstrate how Microsoft and their preferred partner for Insurance and Financial Services, CIBER UK, are working closely with leading insurance companies, many of whom are in the London Market.
