Vendor solutions have trended toward offering more and more functionality across the different business units and functions needed to operate an insurance organization. Several solution providers offer a large set of pre-integrated suite solutions. The business and technology benefits of getting more from a single vendor source include fewer vendor relationships to manage, fewer contracts and licenses, potentially lower integration costs and complications, and wider-reaching automated testing and upgrade coordination. Vendors on this tour offer core system capabilities - policy administration, claims and in some cases billing functionality – and one or more of the following: enterprise-wide rules or workflow engines, underwriting, rating engine, reinsurance, agency portals, consumer portals, document imaging/management, reporting/business intelligence, and/or financial/accounting functionality.

Join this tour to learn how enterprise software suites can address:

- Enterprise risk and resource management - The benefits of an integrated and consistent solution for insurance processing across the enterprise - The need for a common data model for improved data quality and reporting - A consistent user interface across core system functions

Data Protection & Information Privacy have become foundational issues in the digital economy, and the insurance industry is right in the center of it all. Insurers understand that they have been entrusted to securely collect, organize, and retain the personal information of their customers and other key stakeholders as part of offering insurance services. This relationship – a risk mitigation agreement between insurer and policyholder – is based on trust. If and when that trust gets broken, it can be difficult to regain. This track will highlight the industry-leading solutions that help to protect that trust.

Gain an understanding of the latest services, developments, approaches, and techniques in the ever-evolving battle to keep trusted information protected. - Learn about the leading providers of data protection and information privacy products and services, and what they offer to insurers that could someday be the difference between a data breach and a detected intrusion alert that was automatically prevented.

- Develop a deeper knowledge of the solution providers in this space in order to make a more informed decision about the kinds of solutions and services that best fit your company.
