2 Xchanging and Web Connectivity are working in partnership to combine an already extensive, installed base of technology and business processing services to create an enriched and powerful solution. We believe that this will create increased value to both brokers and carriers above and beyond existing processes. Most of all our proposal will be designed to ensure that the Market community has the greatest possible opportunity for successful adoption of an e-placing solution by: Utilising software that is proven and installed across the community already Recognising that technology, alone is not the answer and that by wrapping business processing services around the technology, we can further enrich the data for the benefit of all parties Creating an easy to adopt, real-time document collaboration approach Building on the investments the brokers and carriers have already made in their own back office systems and in some cases providing true integrated Straight Through Electronic Processing from broker to carrier. We have learned a lot about serving our Market over the last few years; in particular how we must operate and behave to create the best environment for adoption of the e-placing platform. We are committed to deliver and are excited by this opportunity. Max Pell Managing Director, Xchanging UK Insurance XCHANGING
