In an environment of economic volatility the insurance industry is under increasing pressure.  This is made more complex by growing customer demands and the continual drive towards cost reduction and compliance. Solvency II adds yet another layer of complexity for insurers to contend with. Compliance with Solvency II presents a number of challenges yet the potential benefits are plain to see:

• Improved customer confidence
• Improved ratings and
• More effective use of capital.

Now in the third year of our international Solvency II programme, IBM is pleased to invite you to a complimentary half day thought leadership briefing.  Delegates will have the opportunity to hear: A View from the Outside: Gideon Benari, renowned independent industry commentator and editor of ‘Solvency II Wire’ takes an impartial view of Solvency II. A View from the Inside: Laura Winter, an experienced IBM Solvency II practitioner and UK Solvency II leader will offer her views on insurers’ response to the demands of Solvency 2. Algorithmics: Patrick Braun will discuss managing the requirements of Pillar 1 and 2 in a challenging marketplace.
