Since claim settlement is the real product of insurance, insurers are looking to process and technology developments as real opportunities for product enhancement, and improved financial results. The 2006 Claims Technology Conference is designed to allow senior line-of-business and technology managers to target these opportunities strategically and tactically.
Leading claims practitioners are contributing to profitability with improved operations and settlement practices, as well as strategies for more productive customer service and targeted underwriting. Our faculty, consisting of senior-level practitioners and suppliers, will provide real, experienced insights into:
- What challenges you need to anticipate now;
- Evaluating risks and rewards offered by new technologies;
- Improving speed of settlement with speed of information;
- What you need to know about security, privacy, and fraud;
- Moving from simple processing to knowledge management.
In one focused day, you will get what you need to use with presentations focusing on:
- Trends and directions in insurance claims;
- The evolution of claims management systems;
- What wireless technologies will do for claims professionals;
- How Business Intelligence, Geographic Information systems, and Electronic Document Management address issues of Fraud, Litigation Management, and Estimation;
- The present and future of collaborative technologies, such as hubs and portals;
- And much more.
