Why Business Continuity Planning Matters to the Insurance Industry
Saturday, October 1 2005
Emerging technologies, ways to enhance productivity and strategies for success in today's competitive environment are just a few of the topics that are of critical interest to insurance industry professionals. While the titles, responsibilities and company names of individuals investigating these topics represent a large cross section of the insurance industry, their goals are similar.
Technology Trends
"We were looking at the latest trends so that we are aware of new developments in the insurance industry," said Bob Goldberg, vice president of technology for Colorado Farm Bureau m Centennial, Colorado after attending the 2005 IASA Annual Educational Conference & Business Show.
"I use the IASA as a way to keep a pulse on the trends of the industry," said Perry Roschelle, assistant vice president of Hartford Financial Products.
For Roschelle and his colleagues at Hartford Financial Products, keeping up with trends and technologies including business continuity, network security and disaster recovery are extremely important, especially in light of changing times, regulatory demands in a competitive industry and potential threats to life, limb and liberty.
