"Vendor-Insurer Alliances That Work"
Times are changing rapidly and the way insurance
companies spend money and evaluate new technologies is changing as
well. Now, maybe more than ever before, it is important for
vendors to demonstrate they can "play nice in the sandbox." So,
establishing and maintaining good relationships between vendors with
systems running in the same insurance company environment is vitally
important to ensuring all systems work together. This can be a daunting
challenge especially if new and existing vendors competed for the
business. However, if an insurer can find vendors who already have
integration capabilities, or convince newly-introduced technology
companies to work together on integration, it gives them a distinct
advantage in the marketplace. IASA is uniquely positioned to open
a dialogue between vendors and to provide information from the insurance
company camp as to what is working today and what is not. These issues
and more will be open for discussion at the 2nd Annual Vendor Alliance
Seminar which will be held immediately prior to the IASA Spring Planning
Meeting, March 20, 2009 in Tucson, Arizona.
By attending this interactive seminar, vendors will have a chance to
learn and hear from insurance company executives and industry
professionals about their system needs and what they look for in an
ideal vendor partner. This half-day seminar will begin with a brief
industry perspective overview by IASA's expert panelists and will
continue with breakout sessions which will examine likely technology
partners, service level agreements (SLAs), case study, benefits of
partnering with other technology vendors, and what insurance companies
executives are looking for from their vendors. And, at the end of the
day remember that it is all about integration. A networking
reception will give you a chance to meet peers in the industry and
perhaps strike up a profitable partnership or two of your own.
