  2. Update across the reform agenda • Placing • Endorsements • A&S and ECF • Other stuff

  3. Placing • Contract certainty • Achieved ≥ 90% thorough 2007 • No more stats to MRO • Will the MRC change this year? Hardly at all • See published paper for MRG policy • No major changes (eg headings); minor usage updates; in synch with ACORD GPD; but remains London market controlled • MRC for binders and lineslips • To be published shortly • Public sessions? • Electronic bureau policies • 22% in January, from 17% in December

  4. Endorsements: current status • Documentation standard (MRCE) • London standard for contract changes from 1 April • So no more honeycombs • To do: ensure it is adopted in your (broking) firm. Underwriters – make a fuss if you see old style • Electronic processing (e-MRCE) • Documentation agreed and ready to publish • To do: digest and implement • To do: who in your firm needs to attend public sessions in mid-March? Contact mro@marketreform.co.ukto register. • To do: adopt simple measurement template

  5. e-MRCE: focus is e-mail • Just do it • Email widely used now for contract changes on international business • Extend use of email to London Market business • Keep it simple • No new technology required • So no need to wait for others to justify investment • Easy bridgehead into electronic support for placing • A supporting act to ACORD messaging • Email use kicks off the sort of business changes required for electronic processing via ACORD messages (workflow)

  6. A&S aims • “All accounting and settlement of risks performed electronically” to deliver: • Rapid movement of premium and claims monies • “Right first time” processing • Increased efficiency with lower operational cost • Lower operational risk • In practice this means… • Remove paper • Remove the van • Delinking • Move to ACORD business messages and validation

  7. A&S current status • Insurers Market Repository (IMR) use • 75% (w/e 15 February) of original premium • 56% of all premium (including APs and RPs) • No van service for in scope OPs from 1 April • See published details on market reform website • No van service for APs & RPs from 31 December • ACORD messages – single standard incorporating bureau and non-bureau • E-Accounting project being led by Richard Lester (Guy Carp) • Move from scanned paper LPAN to structured data • Delinking • c70%; guidance forthcoming

  8. Claims • Lloyd’s 100% new in-scope end Q1 • 90%+ January • IUA take up : end Q3 100% new in-scope • Service contract in negotiation – slow going • Service targets: LMRB own • Measure first, then think about targets • Legacy claims • End Q1 review of pilots • ECF Flag being built • MI report(s) being commissioned from Xchanging

  9. IMR questions • How is Xchanging’s performance in developing and running the IMR being managed? • What work is being commissioned from XIS (scope, usability, hardware)? What’s the cost and who is paying? • Plans beyond the IMR?

  10. IMR performance • LMRB’s role: to oversee Xchanging • Performance stats • Xchanging give account at LMRB as necessary • LMRB chair, then MRG chair, for escalation • LMRB view: Xchanging recognise the seriousness of IMR performance issues and have/are responding accordingly

  11. IMR continuing investment • Increase scope • relative importance down • Improve usability • relative importance up but… • ECF quote issues – CLASS is unwieldy and so changes are expensive • Capacity • upgrades need funding • Market audit team in place

  12. Live issues on change requests • Legacy flag essential • Due for May delivery • Workshops to scope future releases • November; possibly August • Reviewing feasibility of ACORD solution to multiple OSND • User groups working well

  13. What’s the strategy? • Keep going with ‘value for money’ improvements to IMR, while planning what next • Don’t let dreams of infrastructural nirvana stop us doing the hard yards now • LMRB focussed on IMR/ECF now, not long run plans

  14. Future of claims infrastructure • Whose doing what? • Lloyd’s Claims Strategy Review : IT infrastructure workstream • IUA priority; LMBC Market Reform Strategy Group interested • No overarching governance yet, but watch this space • What are the issues? • Replacing CLASS(s) : 4 versions • ‘ACORD for all’ : XIS likely Q2 • User choice of ACORD message rather than EDI • Recent XIS publicity • Time and cost and of CLASS changes makes this more pressing

  15. Other stuff you should know • IT Club with suppliers at 11:00 here • Prepare your questions • Interchange agreement - background publication for reference • Rob Campbell MRO contact
