Other News & Updates
1. Register now: The Incumbents Fight Back – Digital Transformation Strategies webinar
Our next webinar The Incumbents Fight Back – Digital Transformation Strategies will be held on 17th May 2017. Hear from an experienced, global panel of insurance professionals including The Digital Insurer's Hugh Terry, KPMG partner Murray Raisbeck and Jan Reinmueller, head of KPMG Digital Village, as they discuss and answer your questions around digital transformation.
2. InsurTech Insights - Digital implementation approaches
This month’s InsurTech Insights explores how existing insurers can tackle the challenges of transforming and upgrading for a more digital world. Rick Huckstep looks at the platforms that are being created to replace legacy systems while Will Pritchett from KPMG articulates a two-speed approach that
manages legacy while still allowing for 'leapfrog' technology.

3. Thought Leadership - Digital insurance, it’s not about the technology
It has to be all about the customer, according to The Digital Insurer's Andrew De Kock, as he looks at the insurance industry in comparison to one that has already embraced technology. It may be easy to dismiss the possibility of disruption because insurance believes it is 'different' and complex’, but as Andrew shows that view will not prevent it happening.

4. Asia and Europe Insurance Innovation Awards are open - enter now
Applications are open for the European Insurance Innovation Award and Asian Insurance Innovation Award.
