Episode Description

The insurance industry is under incredible pressure. In addition to ongoing challenges from the COVID-19 crisis, insurers face pressures when it comes to new regulations, increased M&A activities, talent recruitment and retention, and cost reduction—all redefining the way business gets done today. For many organizations, these challenges are compounded by IT complexity—including aging solutions that pass data through a maze of convoluted repositories, making processing overly complex and reporting difficult at best. Tune in as Deloitte insurance transformation leaders share ideas that can help you evolve in lockstep with disruption, using intelligent solutions to drive new insights and efficiencies with your data. Hear how insurers across all lines are addressing trends in finance, leveraging new business architectures, and unlocking value with the latest technologies. Our conversation will cover strategies for streamlining and automating financial accounting—from the moment a business event occurs, straight through to close, consolidation, and reporting (CCR). Find out how built-to-evolve Kinetic Insurance capabilities can help you gain a competitive edge with transformed reporting, reduced manual work, and streamlined regulatory tasks for things like Yellow/Blue/Green Books, IFRS, and LDTI reporting. We’ll ask Michael Hamby, Seth Hedlund, Robert Ried and Michael Byrne for their take on The Kinetic Enterprise: Evolving amid complexity with Kinetic Insurance.
