region,” said NRCP's Senior Assistant
Vice President Jeffrey Lacson. “And our
main anchor in achieving this is through
technology.”
Digital technologies are shifting the
business landscape and consumer behavior,
with some exciting developments for
insurers. Just as in other industry verticals,
it is now time for insurers to evolve and
respond to this massive change to avoid
getting left behind.
Since its incorporation in 1978,
National Reinsurance Corporation of the
Philippines, also known as NRCP in local
insurance industry, remains to be the only
professional reinsurance organization in
our country. The company provides life
and non-life insurance services to other
insurance companies. Essentially, it insures
insurers.
“We are building our technologies
to provide analytical services for local
companies and industry partners,” said Mr.
Lacson, mentioning that they are currently
improving their infrastructure, processes,
and integration systems. They are training
their people overseas and bringing in
experienced foreign consultants to share
valuable perspectives and insights.
“Technology really plays a big part in
our roadmap and vision, that is why we are
very diligent in choosing an ICT partner
that offers scalability and reliability,”
he said.

business by confidently outsourcing most
of their ICT services to PLDT ALPHA
Enterprise.

infrastructure solutions such as VITRO

infrastructure and technologies for our
future expansion,” mentioned Mr. Lacson.
He also mentioned that the solutions meet
their corporate goals and objectives in
terms of efficiency and cost-savings.

their digital backbone, Mr. Lacson also

warehouse that will be housed internally,”
he said. The solution can transform raw
data and information into actionable
insights for reports and insurance
commissions.
“We are tapping PLDT ALPHA
Enterprise in this initiative, as they are
already experienced and have implemented
the technology within their group.”

be a collaborative effort among the local
insurance companies. “In the near future,
we will be utilizing more technologies
to help the industry in consolidating
all the information and data for
government regulators, and other involved
organizations.”
“PLDT ALPHA Enterprise is
definitely a big help for us, because of their
customer service, flexibility, and integrity,”
said Mr. Lacson, adding that PLDT could
be their “gateway” in attaining their goal
of “becoming the technology leader of the
local insurance industry”.

aim to revolutionize the entire insurance
industry through technology,” said
