Summary

Innovation is great, but one thing's clear from the last few years - no insurer can totally abandon its core legacy systems and switch to the latest technology in one simple move. Tony Grosso brings a breadth of practical experience from a career in IT, starting his own business, working at a leading US carrier and now running marketing for EIS Group. EIS was founded in 2008 and describes itself as providing a platform for high velocity insurance operations.  In this episode Matthew's discussion with Tony covers a wide range set of topics including: - the role that "coretech" has to link together Insurtech applications and established technology - what people want from insurers today - why thousands of APIs running in a headless function is a good thing (and what that means) - the work EIS is doing with Liberty Mutual and New Zealand based Tower Insurance - the results of the EIS survey on the insurer of the future, and why the biggest priority for 1/3 of respondents is to move beyond just insurance protection and add more value   And much more Tell us what you think or contact Matthew Grant on Linkedin here Find out what we are up to at Instech London at www.instech.london Sign up to our newsletter for a fresh view on the world every Wednesday morning Continuing Professional Development - Learning Objectives InsTech London is accredited by The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).
