We Hope to See You at IASA 2010, June 6-9

Camilion will be participating at the IASA 2010 Educational Conference in Grapevine, Texas. If you’re attending IASA, please stop by our booth #1115 to say hello.

We’ll also be taking part in two panel discussions:

The Agility ‘Triple Play’: How Insurers Can Work Smarter, Launch Products 30% Faster and Increase Revenue – Tues. June 8 at 9:15 a.m.,

Camilion’s President, Ross Orrett and Peter Roschke, Solutions Delivery Director (IT) at AXA Equitable, will participate in the discussion.

Launching new products and updating an existing portfolio is a team sport. It involves a host of different players – underwriters, actuaries, claims, legal, compliance, finance, marketing, sales, operations, and IT – who need to gel together as a team in order to win. In this session, you’ll hear how insurers are using product development and management solutions to foster effective teamwork and collaboration and gain the agility they need for victory.

The Great Debate: Build, Buy, Outsource or Assemble – Which Method is Right for You?
- Tues. June 8 at 3:30 p.m.,

Howard Cribbs, CIO of Mid-Continent Insurance Group, a Camilion client, will take part in the panel discussion.

Is outsourcing really the easiest option? How much control will you have to sacrifice? Will buying a system give you faster access to more modern technologies? Is your IT shop equipped to maintain the system once it’s been implemented? What about best-of-breed? What industry standards, tools and common messaging infrastructure will ease the transition to a new system without impacting your day-to-day operations? During this session, industry experts will help you see through the hype and offer practical recommendations based on your company’s size, business goals and available resources.

We look forward to your participation in these timely discussions, either in person at IASA or by commenting here.

How well do key stakeholders involved in your product development process work together as a team? Are you currently involved in a core system replacement or renovation? If so, how are you sourcing your systems? How important is it that the new solution provide the ability for your trained business users to configure and update products with less IT involvement and less vendor dependency?

– Tracy Staniland, Director, Marketing & Sales Programs
