A Forrester study indicates 87% of senior insurance executives say IT supports their business by lowering operating costs and improving productivity. An industry not known as an early adopter of information technology, carriers are now pouring money into Web services, wireless communications, real-time applications and other technologies to accelerate communication with their agents. Companies suddenly are seeing firsthand how technology is revolutionizing the carrier/agent relationship and, as the marketplace becomes increasingly competitive, that technology needs to be fast, accurate and secure.

The P&C industry's embracement of IT could not have come at a better time as IVANS prepares to celebrate its 25th Anniversary at the 2007 XChange Conference. Networking technology has changed dramatically over the last 25 years and, when combined with such issues as pandemics, terrorism, cyber crime, and natural disasters, staying ahead of the curve is more critical than ever.
