The Changing London Market
22nd January 2014

The London market is seeking growth, faster

Technology is both supporting and inhibiting this agenda
Growth, Faster 1

The squeeze
Reinsurers challenged,
entering insurance
market
Incumbent players remain
numerous
Looking for opportunities to
diversify and grow
Larger, smarter intermediaries
Local insurers retaining more risk
Insurers in the market are under pressure to grow or shrink

The data rush
Players across the industry are investing in data

The larger brokers are swiftly moving up the maturity model
Willis, Marsh and Aon have made significant investments in data capability

The market itself however, doesn’t have the same requirements of data
Current position – it’s the members of the London market who differentiate
on data, not the market itself

The maturity of the carriers and MGAs vary significantly in the market
There are a few players investing significantly in niche areas

Digital is changing who the players are and increasing
competition
Retail Lines Increasing
capability of

channels
Digital is making offering these lines of
business cheaper, easier and faster
Placement
increasingly
dependent on speed
and cost as well as
service expectations.
Time and cost added
down the value chain
has a non-linear
impact on time and
cost seen at the
customer.

The good things
Area Legacy Modern
Functionality Generally extensive functionality developed over many
years
Additions to functionality very difficult
Good, getting better out of the box
Additions to functionality relatively easy, rules externalized
from code
Integration Can be difficult if limited SOA
Upgrades required (if available/ possible) to re-orient toward
standards-based approaches such as ACORD XML or SOA
Often not modular
Typically easy: systems designed as components, are easy
to connect
Based on existing standards, and adaptable to emerging
standards
Support Expensive, labor intensive, may be unsupported; may
eventually require use of offshore resources
IT-oriented: business users essentially submit requirements
to IT
Cheaper, configuration-based
Business- and IT-oriented: IT becomes more strategic,
business becomes more hands-on
New Product
Creation
Customizations or clone-based, minimally configurable
Large existing product base
Months for coding, not including testing
Component based, reusable
Configure, don’t code products
Days or weeks to build products
Scalability Scale achieved at significant cost by upgrading the
mainframe(s)
Scale typically requires far less computing power (clusters,
grids, etc.)

Cloning an existing product to create anew product with an overlapping but
significantly different definition
Creating a new product from scratchbased on standardized components
Creating rules that govern calculationfunctions and business process flows that
are controlled by the systemA few hours 1 to 5 days 6 to 20 days 21 to 40 days Over 40 days
A Survey of Insurers regarding time taken for common tasks on their PAS (2013)
How much staff time is needed to perform the following actions (without testing) with the policy
administration system?

Clarity and accessibility of underwriting data, ease of consolidated reporting
Customer-centricity – capturing and managing underwriting data from the first point of interaction

The Claims Manager’s Experience
Claims management and claims processing is often disconnected from policy administration
Customer-centricity – a focus on the quality of claims service is a critical factor in retaining business
Comprehensive, current and capable stakeholder management doesn’t always come together
Workflow management is central to the process – the ability to route, track and balance workload
Consolidation of data and reporting accurately and in a timely manner
Capability to support and quickly react to regulatory, market & electronic trading initiatives

Is there a painless
way to upgrade?
Data Migration Challenges Risks are contained across six areas
Cost certainty
Data complexity
Insight & control
Data quality
Large data volumes
Continual need for
data migrations
Xuber Upgrade Studio & Methodology
Insight & control • View the source data and progress
dashboards / reports that can be
customised as required
• See completion levels for all
migration tasks
• Search for and migrate records
on demand
• Receive notifications about
changes to the Xuber platform
Keeping Track of the Migration Process Putting you in control to make the right decisions, at the right time
Data quality • Early data profiling upfront
• Xuber data & business
validation early in the migration
process
• Save mapping rules to be used
in other migration definitions
• Create custom rules to govern
your data transfer to the Xuber
platform
Addressing Data Quality Early validation of routine data helps you focus on your most complex data
Re-usable
Intelligence
Certainty
Visibility
Accuracy
Control
Key Benefits Embarking on a data migration is complicated and time consuming. With the right tools and management it doesn’t have to be as painful.
