The focus of brokers has shifted from expanding market share at any cost to profitably placing the right business with more demanding insurers. Leading brokers, and support organizations, are proving that technology is a critical element in their strategies. This seminar will provide participants with insight into what works, in what conditions, and how resources can best be deployed.
Brokers have matured as systems users, and are demanding more from technology providers. Successful brokers are finding that business focused systems knowledge is producing profit power. Our presenters – brokers and suppliers alike – will show how to select and utilize systems to the maximum productive advantage.
Underwriters are demanding more and better information to qualify and rate both new and existing risks. At the same time, information sources – both public domain and proprietary – are proliferating. Successful brokers have selected information providers that best suit the needs of their markets and themselves. Our seminar will highlight case studies of intelligent capture and use of data and information.
The world of technology continues to evolve rapidly, and available information has proliferated in volume. The key to effectively harnessing technology is business driven management and leadership in systems selection and implementation. Brokers and brokerage managers who seek business oriented discussion of the current best of class and next generation important technologies will find the information they need – with real world examples – at our focused, single day seminar.
The Broker/Technology seminar has been one of our most successful events for a number of years, because Insurance-Canada.ca offers the most experienced presenters available. With a modest investment of time, participants have found practical, tested solutions, and shared experiences with other seasoned technology users.
Register today for Brokers Harness Technology. All presentations target business use of technology. Organizations have found that sending multiple registrants allows them to benefit from having different perspectives of the information presented brought back to the office for immediate use.
