Sponsors update

The Digital Insurer relies heavily on its sponsors to enable production of new and original content.

We are working closely with Swiss Re, our launch sponsor on a special report on digital underwriting and fulfilment. Publication date is not finalised but we are aiming to complete by the end of the third quarter.

A warm welcome to PGi as our third site sponsor. Their support will allow another series of content and original research to be provided to subscribers. 

We have ongoing discussions with other potential site sponsors and hope to be able to announce further content development initiatives soon.

Thanks to our guest authors

We have two guest authored articles in this edition and a couple more lined up for next quarter. Their time, commitment and sharing of knowledge is much appreciated. If you have a topic where you can share your views and experience do get in touch.

We are working on a Tech Guide for Insurance in Asia

One of the problems we have noticed is how difficult it is for insurance professionals to get the initial information and connectivity they need on IT solutions that could be of use to their companies. The Tech Guide will be an on-line knowledge base of IT solutions - designed to allow you to quickly get the information you need to do an initial assessment of opportunities. Pilot work is commencing this quarter to assess feasibility - interested tech vendors should get in touch to learn more about the options available.
