A new London Market committee has been established by the International Underwriting Association to review progress on the adoption of new digital services.
Under the Blueprint Two programme a single digital platform is being established for processing premiums and claims. A target date of October 2024 has been set for insurers to cut over to phase one of these new services.
The IUA’s Cut-over Review Committee will review information about the readiness of the London company market and its technology partner Velonetic, to make this switch.
IUA chief operating officer, Louise Day, said: “The transition to a digital marketplace in the world’s largest insurance hub is a vast and complex undertaking. There are huge potential benefits with placements, claims and settlement set to operate faster and cheaper.
“It is essential that the process runs as smoothly as possible and so our new group will allow IUA members to closely monitor testing, training and other preparations as the changeover approaches. We will be conducting an expert review of readiness documents to ensure senior executives on the IUA board are fully informed of progress across the company market.”
The IUA Cut-over Review Committee will meet at least monthly until the switch to new digital processing services has been achieved. An introductory meeting was held last week and the first official meeting is scheduled for July.
The group is comprised of senior practitioners with expertise in information technology and security, digital transformation and business processing. It is chaired by Theo Butt, CEO of Convex Insurance UK. He is a member of the IUA board and the association’s deputy chair.
