The outcome for today is to a look at assets holistically, understand how leveraging your current systems can work and what is available.

Look at assets holistically– Treat technology, processes, and people as assets.

Understand how leveraging your current systems can work– Establish links between applications and services using an Enterprise Service Bus.– Enable effective integration & re-use of legacy functionality across channels.– Your existing systems are too important and would be very costly to rebuild.

Understand what accelerators, models, and assets are available– Component Business Modeling (CBM), Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Model Driven

Architecture (MDA) play an important role in this transformation and the transformation of our largest clients.

– Standards like XML 1 (Open Data), HTML, XHTML (Open Publishing), Web Services (Open Interchange) and J2EE (Open Programming).

Understand the demand and management of the necessary skills– Employees have become an increasingly important issue due to the aging of the workforce and

the shrinking of incoming labor pools.– LIMRA estimates 38% decline in full-time affiliated agents.

Consumer expectations, operations, business performance and regulation are the four mega trends shaping the industry now and years to come.

ConsumerExpectations

Insurance Operations

Business Performance

Regulation

Megatrend Current Implications

Active and informed consumers across demographic groups reward non-traditional operators

Customer centric marketing is key – 360 Degree view of the client.

Technology virtualizes the value chain and lowers barriers to entry

Componentize business services to create an "assembly line“.

Insurance products are dynamic and provide more consistent performance

Pure standarization only creates cost differentiation, not quality. Think out of the box.

Regulatory coordination and affirmed industry standards broaden to international scales 1

Promote data quality and clarity. What would you do in a world without regulation?

Assets delivered as well defined solutions meeting today’s challenges are insurance self service, operations of the future and customer insight.

1. Insurance Self Service (B2C or B2E):• provides carriers with the ability to rapidly deploy a website (portal) that will provide both Agents and

Consumers with an easy to use, real-time, highly personalized access point to the carrier’s new business and support functions.

2. Operations of the Future:• enables a carrier to automate the processing of inbound documents and service requests. The approach is

to automate business processes – from receipt of paper to production of output. The solution recognizes inbound mail documents, converts them automatically to XML transactions, where they are processed through Websphere Process Server by using exposed business services.

3. Customer Insight:The foundation for facilitating and optimizing the information driven, customer oriented processes related to marketing, sales, service and compliance across the financial services enterprise.

Computing has become increasingly pervasive across all aspects of a consumer’s life, significantly changing relationships with financial firms.

Today’s customers are more savvy and have heightened expectations for how they interact with financial services companies through a variety of touchpoints.

Widespread broadband connectivity and pervasive computing are resetting expectations and introducing new opportunities to financial services firms.

Old notion of “channel” is being replaced by more fluid customer “touchpoint” relationship model, supported by the growth in the number and use of mobile digital devices.

Customers expect consistency across channels, reward an innovative service experience - they are ready to interact meaningfully online.

Firms can no longer afford to have poor Web sites (or web strategy) as consumers visit, evaluate, and decide on insurance based on information on-line.

Firms should begin by thinking about a commerce value chain focused on their interactions with customers. Insurers must build a Web presence that attracts customers, and guides them easily and swiftly through interaction, action and reaction.

Forrester: 92% of customers value multi-channel integration and would like all interactions fully harmonized.

With all solutions people are a key assets to the success of the effort, that is especially true of the Insurance Self Service Solution.

Skills – new skills needed and skills shortage:– In a successful Insurance Self Service Solution resources that have both industry and

technology skills are needed.– Computerworld 09’: “Demand for Web 2.0 skills is also driven by the continuing expansion of

business-to-business connections.”

Workforce Demographics– Maturing baby boomers are followed by a much smaller group of generation Xers, making

potential replacements increasingly difficult to find and hire.– According to IBM studies, depending on an insurer’s business strategy and model,

underwriters, claims adjusters, sales professionals, actuaries and others can make a difference of between 10%-20% annual growth as well as have an impact on underwriting profit and loss.

Global Delivery– Cost pressures, increased speed to market, hot skills, skills shortages and demographics is all

causing this to be even more important.

Vendor Management– Typically in asset based solutions you are dealing with integration, conversion, packaged

software and teams located globally.

The keys to success in managing a global delivery model are: PM Fundamentals, focus on people, use of standards, defined reporting metrics, leveraging technology, leveraging global competencies, taking ownership and accountability and remembering the value of iterations.

People and the process help to enable the technology assets by which the Insurance Self Service Solution can be built.

IBM WebSphere Portal: – A key “people part” of any service orientation is to allow people to interact with the on demand

world in a personalized way – to automatically get the dynamic information they need. With IBM WebSphere Portal, people can quickly execute business processes using composite applications built on SOA principles. They can collaborate with portal users to make faster decisions.

IBM Tivoli Identity Manager: – With the openness of an SOA environment — integrating formerly separate domains of

authorization and control — specific technology solutions are required for the secure management and protection of information. Tivoli implements a security-rich SOA environment, delivering comprehensive identity management, improved compliance support, reduced administration costs, and an enhanced user experience based on single sign-on and convenient access to multiple services.

IBM Rational ClearQuest:– A workflow automation tool. Have a single view of the releases scheduled for a given time

frame (day, week, month, year). Run complex relational queries based on management requirements and produce Metrics. Have access to the most current Release information. Have a more granular view of issues, risks, defects, deployment requests and change requests to a given release. Move towards a more mature software configuration management process. Support and enable regulatory requirements like the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), through tracking, history collection, sign-off mechanisms and other programmatic and custom capabilities of the tool.

As Gary Wendlandt New York Life recently said …“As with most things in life, when things seem too good to be true, there’s usually a problem lurking”.

Key questions will need to answer across the value chain from high-level strategy to detail:

1. Are there existing services and/or functions built across other channels that can be leveraged in the online channel (such as a quoting service/process or a payment processing service/process currently supporting the agency or call center channels)?

2. How will rate comparisons and product integrity be ensured across all channels?3. If saving and retrieving a quote is part of the feature function set – what are the rules related to external data

orders (e.g. Values Transmittal – ACORD TX1212) and product changes?4. Maintaining accurate data and site currency is a large part of that standard. Jacob Neilson’s ten things to

consider for commerce websites provide excellent guidelines in this area 1.5. What is the cross-browser and cross device (mobile, kiosk, etc.) development and testing strategy? 4

6. How will integration to back-end systems and services be handled (e.g. change management, up-time and enterprise release management)?

7. Will the site be developed by geographic state, or by a standard “vanilla” state? What are the by-state and/or base state requirements? How will deltas or complexities of each state be categorized and managed?

8. How will dates be handled (leap year, timestamps across systems and servers, geographic time zone conflicts, etc)?

9. What will be the security protocols to handle sensitive personal information (SPI), encryption decryption, SSL, payment collection, and terms and conditions?

10. Do not forget about post deployment tasks like web search optimization and analytical metrics.
