Roundtable Mission:
Change is inevitable, even for insurers. While many insurance executives claim that they embrace change, many are merely implementing bandaid solutions on top of old brittle business and IT environments. On the other hand, real leaders in the global insurance market know that it is essential to guide change from a business perspective. They let business reason drive technological transformation, as opposed to letting technological changes derail the business.
Within the next few years, transformational business models around business agility will begin to fully realize the potential of SOA and BPM. This will enable insurers to expand product offerings, reinvent service levels, and drive efficiencies. To achieve these results, architecture is the link between business strategy and technology. Ultimately, a complete and comprehensive business architecture allows an insurer to experience the full potential of available technologies. This in turn makes the insurer more agile to adapt to the changing demands, higher expectations and increased competition of the dynamic landscape.
Event Overview:
In insurance today, business architecture is the missing link - not fully understood or embraced across the industry, especially in the business community.
This live roundtable discussion will focus on discovering the missing link - Business Architecture in Insurance. The panel will be moderated by Cindy Maike, Co-Founder of Smallwood Maike & Associates. Panelists will include expert insurance specialists, industry analysts, business architects and leading insurance strategists. This group will discuss the challenges, the opportunities and the action plans required to make business architecture drive success in the insurance industry.

I know what it means to think 'service-oriented,' and I'm excited about helping our clients at Smallwood Maike develop this new mindset...and reap the rewards that will follow." ...Cindy Maike
