  1. Market Reform – 2009 JJ Masters 14th January 2009

  2. What has Xchanging done in 2008? Xchanging Major Projects – 2008

  3. Where are we today? Considerable progress over the last 3 years but … • Essential we have to finish what we’ve started • Substantial amount of clerical checking and manual data entry still required • Legacy bureau systems seen as cumbersome, old fashioned, time consuming and expensive to change • Increasing impatience with Londonisms and a widespread desire to embrace an international process model capable of operating everywhere • Increasing clamour among LMA members for self-service options • Xchanging perceived as reluctant to change and insufficiently incentivised to do so • Need to find ways to speed up the rate of change for the market

  4. Drivers Shaping 2009 Roadmap • Bring all premiums and claims into scope for electronic processing • Remove more “Londonisms” • Remove need for Brokers to do the accounting splits • Reduce Rejections and Keying Errors • Increase electronic messaging to reduce keying from documents • IMR Upgrade • Limits IMR changes in first half of 2009 • Improved Usability and User Experience • Consistent across all market channels • Accurate and reliable information to drive market take up • Down to each individual organisation Finish What We Started…

  5. Guidelines for the Future of the XIS Platforms • Our intent is to be more “open” by that we mean: • Ever reducing “Londonisms” e.g. promoting eAccounts • Being exemplars in promoting the use of ACORD international standards, and work with ACORD to extend standards to support the market e.g. Workflow • Using non-proprietary components such as the Web Connectivity gateway that facilitate interoperability • Moving over time to increasing self service for the services and the data associated with them • Developing our charging models to suit this evolution and to meet our customers needs

  6. We have a 2009 high-level plan with the MRO Working with market forums and stakeholders

  23. eAccounts

  24. A&S is only the start of it… • A&S is well used within the market and rollout has been moving at pace • Currently 95% of original premiums are submitted electronically • Currently 75% of additional and return premiums are submitted electronically • Brokers have engaged with developing gateways for use of ACORD messages for our A&S DRI services and have engaged software providers to improve the way they process submissions • Xchanging have an industrialised set of tools and processes for dealing with electronic submissions • The IMR Security Model programme will allow us to overcome the remaining barriers to use • The IMR upgrade programme will improve the architecture of A&S and put us on a sound footing for the future • BUT…. • This is a solution for scanned documents and much of the key information has to be re-keyed by Xchanging • Londonisms remain a substantial diversion for Brokers

  25. Objectives of the eAccounts service • Move to the use of structured data for key fields • Use international (i.e. ACORD) standards for submissions • Reduce the amount of Xchanging keying that occurs on submissions and improve data quality (i.e. move to a world of what you submit is exactly what you get back) • Remove the concept of Work Order and LPAN • Remove the burden of performing Accounting Splits from Brokers • Provide a consistent splits service and reduce the query / rejection loops • Continue to fulfil reporting requirements (e.g. Lloyd’s and existing reports) • Minimise carrier impact • Make the service ‘pick n mix’ for Brokers with no requirement to go ‘Big Bang’ • Removal of BSM (optional) and some London specific messages

  26. What has been done … • ELPAN2 Release 1 • TA message spec defined and independently reviewed (ACORD certified) • Incorporated into existing gateway (to minimise Broker setup) • Has been live since Dec 2007 and is currently processing live transactions • Accounting Splits • Prototype has occurred to validate XIS understanding of the splits process (this is not envisaged to reflect the process that we will use in production) • XCS engaged on their impacts • Auto-Loading (ELPAN2 Release 2) • Prototypes developed for POSH (company) • Prototypes developed for LIDS (Lloyd’s) • Approved projects for delivery in Q1 2009 • Planning • Analysis of the impact of splits has occurred and an XIS architecture proposed • Indicative plans have been developed for discussion with the MRG

  27. Our vision for the end of 2009 • ELPAN2 • FA in place for company (Q2 proposed) • FA in place for Lloyd’s submissions (Q4 proposed) • Accounting Splits • Commercial arrangements in place to support service • XIS / XCS Technicians trained • Technical changes – delinking, consistency for central settlement, BSM aggregation, some report changes and workflow mgt • Auto-Loading (ELPAN2 Release 2) • Auto-Load in place for company and Lloyd’s submissions (Q1 proposed) • Planning • Rollout plans complete / in progress / being defined with Brokers • Definition for any future plans for further enhancing the service in 2010

  28. Future considerations • The following may be candidates for future releases: • Level 4 acknowledgments as an alternative to a BSM • Defining an ACORD query loop • Reporting improvements to increase visibility for Brokers and Carriers

  29. Claims Workflow Triggers

  30. Claims Workflow Triggers – Key Features • All updates to the Claim file will be provided in addition to new Claim transactions • Claim movement loaded by the Broker • Bureau lead appoints agreement parties • An authoriser actions the claim (approve or query) • The claim is fully agreed • Provided as frequently as requested (up to every 5 minutes) • Information will be cross-market, i.e. notifying status of the same claim in all bureaux (subject to confirmation in initial release) • Data will be an extension of existing daily claims CSV file including provision for all responses and status changes • Existing daily claims CSV file will continue to provided • Initial format for distribution will be as a CSV file via XDH • Intention to provided as ACORD Claims Movement messages in the future • Available to Carriers and Brokers

  31. Conclusion • Recognise that different companies will want to interact with XIS in different ways, so ensure the services are open e.g. Claims Workflow Trigger Messages vs. Claims Workflow Service • Focus on the customer experience and usability • Some of the strategic components exist already e.g. IMR, ACORD Gateway, Workflow, etc • In the short term, leverage the existing legacy platforms • Knit together these components to create an integrated set of services for Premium and Claims • Use workflow to provide a layer of abstraction from the mainframe applications, enabling functionality to be migrated in the future
