The terms “everything” and “right” mean very different things to different insurers depending on their size, the complexity of their operations and product sets, and their technological starting points. The approach Celent takes is to offer, at a high level, some key best practices in the use of technology across the product and policyholder lifecycle and in IT infrastructure and management that a “Model Insurer” would use. - Neil Katkov, Senior Vice President, Celent Asia, will introduce 17 honored initiatives that have been selected as Celent Model Insurer Asia Components, and present awards; Model Insurer Components are group the case studies and represent portions of the insurance value chain. The components represented in the Model Insurer Asia award are: •Business Rules/Business Process Management •Claims •Distribution •IT Management •Marketing •Policy Administration •Product Design/Definition •Reinsurance and Risk management •Service •Underwriting - Mike Fitzgerald, Senior Analyst from Celent Insurance Group, will give a presentation on "Emerging Technologies - Sustaining Change in Insurance Organizations". - Insurance Roundtable.
