About this webinar
It is becoming clear that London is heading into a softening rating environment, which increases the need for greater efficiency, more speed and better risk assessment across the value chain. With Blueprint Two and frameworks such as DORA taking effect, scalable, compliant solutions are no longer optional – they are essential for brokers to keep up with the changing market dynamics.
Big brokers have made significant digital investments over the past few years. Smaller firms are not able to invest in technology at the same level. The implications can feel daunting, raising the risk of falling behind as the big brokers gain leverage and competitive advantage.
In our webinar, hosted in collaboration with DXC and ServiceNow, our panellists touched on the technology available for small and mid-sized brokers to fight back, and why it has never been better or cheaper than now.
Our panellists discussed prevailing market dynamics and what is required in terms of data mastery and technology to stay relevant. In that context, they showcased DXC’s Assure Broking Essentials – a SaaS and operations platform backed by DXC, Velonetic, and global leaders like ServiceNow and AWS.
Conceived as a level-up technology for those without deep pockets, Assure Broking Essentials enables smaller brokers to become digital-first without incurring massive up-front investment costs. The platform provides an ecosystem of modern AI capabilities and regulatory support through a single, managed solution – designed to be deployed off the shelf. The heavy lifting and the upfront investment have been borne by the providers.
In this webinar, key talking points included:
- Whether the London market is at an inflection point, and if so, what are the implications for brokers that get left behind?
- What digital-first broking looks like in practice, and the benefits it delivers
- How can small and medium-sized brokers modernise without the budgets and resources of larger competitors?
- What part does AI play in the value chain and how to get access to the best AI toolsets as they evolve?
- How to align with Blueprint Two, DORA and other compliance initiatives
- The potential role of Assure Broking Essentials, the new operations-as-a-service platform for brokers backed by DXC, Service Now, Velonetic and AWS
Listen in for a discussion with no buzz, just how to jump light years to digital broking and beyond.
