ICTA Overview 2012 ICTA Nominations 2012 ICTA Judging

2012 Finalists 2012 ICTA Ceremony & Luncheon 2012 Technology Conference

The ICTAs

As computer and communications technologies evolve at increasingly faster rates, so too do the innovative and beneficial uses of these technologies by participants in the insurance industry.

To highlight and celebrate the use of technologies that impact insurance, Insurance-Canada.ca is sponsoring the Insurance Canada Technology Awards – “the ICTAs.” These were first awarded at the P&C Technology Conference on February 22, 2010, and again on February 28, 2011.

The ICTAs will for the third time be presented at the annual Insurance-Canada.ca Technology Conference, to be held on March 5, 2012. For more details see our 2012 ICTA Luncheon page.

Celebrate with an ICTA! Reward the implementation team; recognize a leader; thank a business or trading partner! Get started – make a nomination.

NEW for 2012! All award finalists will be profiled in Canadian Insurance Top Broker magazine, to appear in the February 2012 technology issue. This issue will be distributed at the 2012 Technology Conference.

Purpose

To celebrate organizations in the Canadian Property and Casualty Insurance industry whose implementation and use of technology shows a significant impact on a process or group of processes used in the sale, processing and servicing of insurance in Canada.

Historically most business applications of technology were within a company. Today "multi-party business application implementations" are increasingly common. Both types are important; nominations of both are welcome.

3. Suppliers – companies that supply insurance-related services and companies that provide technology solutions (hardware, software or services) to Insurers and Distributors in Canada.
