Digital technology has changed how people shop, bank, travel, and live. Real-time location services, free global communications, and information on demand have become the norm, raising consumer expectations for more personalized customer experiences, when and where they want them. The insurance industry is no exception, as heightened consumer expectations are driving innovation and creating opportunities for new entrants to challenge industry bellwethers. As a result, consumer-facing industries have had to adapt or perish.
Many insurers are struggling to enhance their customer experience while facing stiff competition from digital savvy, data-intensive, agile insurtech companies. The digital disruption is radically altering how insurance is bought, distributed, serviced, commercialized, and ultimately, perceived by the general public. The result is the emergence of insurtech companies engaging customers in ways traditional insurance companies have never offered before.
The traditional model of insuring customers for specific events (or circumstances) is being supplanted by a new model based on a lifecycle of customer needs. Equally important is the capability to go from responsive to predictive practices more accurate than conventional actuarial techniques.
The enabler of these new capabilities is effectively leveraging the expanding quantities, sources, and distributions of data. Doing so requires innovative data-driven technologies designed to discover and integrate this data with semantically enriched data fabrics that strengthen the insurance industry’s fundamental use cases—making new ones possible.
The transformation to a Digital Insurer is complex as it changes the foundation of the organization. Complicating factor is the fast speed of digital innovation in the market and the current digital structure of the organization not able to deal with these changes. The digital transformation is however inevitable and mistakes will create a bigger gap, resulting in business deterioration. In this presentation a vision on Digital Insurance transformation is explained and more information is available to support a digital transformation process in a specific organization.

The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated the payments industry undergo a facelift, sparked by novel approaches from new-age players, fostered by industry consolidation, and customers’ demand for end-to-end experience. Crossing the threshold, the industry is entering a new era – Payments 4.X, where payments are embedded and invisible, and an enabling function to provide frictionless customer experience. As customers make a permanent shift to next-gen payment methods, Digital IDs are critical for a seamless payment experience. The B2B payments segment is witnessing rapid digitization. BigTechs, PayTechs, and industry newcomers are ready to jump in with newfangled solutions to help underserved small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
As incumbents struggle with profits, new-age firms are forging ahead to take the lead in the Payments 4.X era by riding the success of non-card products and services. The new era demands collaboration, platformification, and firms can unleash full market potential only by embracing API-based business models and open ecosystems. Data prowess and enhanced payment processing capabilities are inevitable to thrive ahead. The clock is ticking for banks and traditional payments firms because the competitive advantage is not guaranteed forever. As industry players seek economies of scale, consolidations loom, and non-banks explore new territories to threaten incumbents’ market share. While all these 2022 trends are at play, central bank digital currency (CBDC) is emerging globally and might open a new chapter in the current payments landscape.

The Currency of Trust: Why Banks and Insurers Must Make Customer Data Safer a...Capgemini
Are banks and insurers a safe pair of hands when it comes to customer data? Our global survey of more than 180 senior data privacy and security professionals – as well as 7,600 consumers – found that less than a third (29%) of these organizations offer both strong data privacy practices and a sound security strategy. Just one in five (21%) are highly confident that they can detect a cybersecurity breach.
This picture has so far not unduly affected consumers’ perceptions of the industry. We found that 83% of consumers trust banks and insurers when it comes to data. And while one in four institutions have reported being victim of a hack, just 3% of consumers believe their own bank or insurer has ever been breached. However, with the pending General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulations, this trust factor is likely to change as transparency increases. Financial organizations have to reveal a data breach 72 hours after the incident.
Banks and insurance firms have a clear incentive therefore to fortify their defences. As well as avoiding the prohibitive fines and penalties that will result from compromised data, protecting privacy offers a strategic business advantage. Addressing security concerns will drive greater adoption of low-cost digital channels. We found that security concerns deter nearly half of consumers (47%) from using digital channels. It will also reduce churn and attract competitors’ customers – 74% of consumers would switch their bank or insurer in the event of a data breach.
Preparing to be a trusted data steward is no easy task, however. It means raising the bar on multiple dimensions:
• Aligning data practices with consumers’ expectations
• Finding innovative ways of providing non-intrusive security to consumers
• Building the capabilities required to monitor cyber risks on a real-time basis
• Revisiting the data governance model.
Building your reputation for data privacy and robust security is definitely challenging. But, those who strike the right chord with consumers will enjoy a competitive advantage over their peers. The winners will be those who triumph in the trust game.
Securing the Internet of Things Opportunity: Putting Cybersecurity at the Hea...Capgemini
The potential trillion dollar Internet of Things (IoT) business opportunity rests precariously on one critical factor – security. 71% of executives in our survey agreed that security concerns will influence customers’ purchase decision for IoT products. However, despite increasing cyber attacks and ample warning from security experts, most organizations do not provide adequate security and privacy safeguards for their IoT products. In fact, only 33% of IoT executives in our survey believe that the IoT products in their industry are highly resilient to cyber security attacks. Further, despite rising consumer concerns regarding data privacy, 47% of organizations do not provide any privacy related information regarding their IoT products.
So, why are organizations lagging behind in securing their IoT products and systems? Key reasons for this include an expanded attack surface, inefficiencies in the IoT product development process, and the lack of specialized security skill-sets. For instance, our survey showed that only 48% of companies focus on securing their IoT products from the beginning of the product development phase. Building a secure IoT system begins with the recognition that security needs to be as much of a priority as the features and functionality of an IoT product. The report highlights the key measures that organizations must take in order to put security at the core of their IoT value proposition.
The Internet of Things (IoT) and cybersecurity: A secure-by-design approachDeloitte United States
Cyberattacks, data breaches and overall business disruption, caused by unsecured IoT devices in the workplace and used by third parties, are increasing. This is because companies don’t know the depth and breadth of the risk exposures they face when leveraging IoT devices and other emerging technologies. The results of a poll by Deloitte and Dragos shed light on how ready organizations are for securing connected devices.
Staying ahead in the cyber security game - Sogeti + IBMRick Bouter
Cyber security is center stage in the world today, thanks to almost continuous revelations about incidents and breaches. In this context of unpredictability and insecurity, organizations are redefining their approach to security, trying to find the balance between risk, innovation and cost. At the same time, the field of cyber security is undergoing many dramatic changes, demanding organizations embrace new practices and skill sets.
Cyber security risk is now squarely a business risk – dropping the ball on security can threaten an organization’s future – yet many organizations continue to manage and understand cyber security in the context of the it department. This has to change.
Capgemini presentation: gamification and the digital advantageBen Gilchriest
Presentation from a recent, joint Capgemini - Badgeville event in Sydney, Australia on the role of enterprise gamification in digital transformation.

Cloud 2.0 - How Containers, Microservices and Open Source Software are Redefi...Mark Hinkle
Led by the rocket like success of Amazon Web Services cloud computing is a paradigm shift in the way we host and deploy infrastructure. Organizations are consuming cloud infrastructure across multiple cloud providers both inside their data center and the data centers of others. The advent of highly portable workloads via containers (e.g. Docker) and discrete units of computing delivered by microservices are enabling organizations (like Netflix) to deploy complex multi-layered products and services at breakneck speeds.
This talk will give an overview of the major cloud services and the open source software (e.g. OpenStack, Apache CloudStack) that can be used to deliver and manage cloud computing infrastructure(e.g. Puppet, Chef, Ansible). The discussion will cover the evolution of cloud computing and how that sets the stage for realizing the agility, flexibility and power of cloud computing.
Attendees should expect to learn about the leading technologies in cloud computing, strategies for using open source software to create/manage cloud computing services and to gain an understanding how current developments are providing a way to create a single cloud fabric that best serves their individual needs.

Achieve Economic Synergies by Managing Your Enterprise Assets In The CloudDr. HJ Raza, Ph.D/MBA
Time to market and rapid response to market demands are now utmost priorities for any size organization. When compared to conventional internal infrastructure, Cloud-based solutions meet this requirement better than ever. Cloud-based solutions are easy to implement, more cost efficient, and robust enough to meet enterprise demands such as auto-scalability, disaster recovery, and fail-over.
For IT recruiters, and just about everyone who has been interested in tech, cloud is not a new phenomena. However, over the past 18 months, adoption of cloud is growing quickly and is now used in some shape or form by businesses of all sizes around the world.
This issue provides an overview to the rise of cloud, highlights the most in demand IT skills and lists the fastest growing cloud companies by employee.
In this QuickView
- Fastest growing cloud companies by employees
- Most in demand skills, job roles and certifications
- Top employers of cloud professionals
- Is Big-data-as-a-service the next big growth sector?
- Top 5 uses of cloud computing for 2015
Evaluating the ROI of cloud-based solutions versus on-premise software can sometimes feel a bit like comparing apples to oranges. This white paper provides an overview of the costs and savings associated with a migration to a cloud-based model, including:
- Access differences
- Hardware costs
- Ongoing maintenance, security and support
- IT staffing levels
In the last few years, the cloud has been steadily revolutionizing software delivery to corporate end-users
across multiple industries, ranging from banking to Customer Relationship Management (CRM). The
accounting profession is no exception.
In 2016, cloud technologies went mainstream. But with maturity came the realization that moving to the cloud doesn’t happen overnight. CIOs are prioritizing hosted computing and cloud data storage. But they’re approaching the shift as a gradual, multi-year journey.
Many startups and small businesses will continue to go all-in on cloud. But enterprises will find success in a slow but steady move from on-prem. Hybrid ecosystems—of data, software, and infrastructure—will be the reality for most established organizations.
As this shift to cloud progresses where are things are headed? This paper highlights the top cloud trends for 2017.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.

2. [Report] The CIO in 2017 – Highlighting Operational
and Financial Barriers to Cloud
The report, independently conducted with 200
UK CIOs, looks at the operational and financial
barriers to cloud that CIOs are facing in 2017.
The research shows Cloud computing adoption
continues to rise in the UK, however,
transitioning to the cloud, or working to become a
cloud-first organisation, can be a considerable
challenge for many.
Here we will show you some best practices and
potential solutions to help your organisation
simplify the biggest financial and operational
challenges currently associated with cloud
adoption in 2017…

4. CLOUD BARRIER: Too much choice of how to pay for and
control cloud spend complicates adoption
of CIO’s agree that the
sheer number of different
ways organisations can pay for
cloud makes selecting the right
cloud solution more complicated.
At a time of constrained IT budgets ensuring that cloud
represents good value for money is top of the CIOs agenda.
The chosen payment model needs to ensure return on
investment. However, the choice of models can be daunting
ranging from:
• pay-per-user
• pay per month
• pay-as-you-go
• monthly subscriptions
• annual subscriptions
To complicate matters, the ‘on-demand’ nature of the Cloud,
and the fact it can be procured by other business departments
outside of IT’s sight means unmanaged cloud can play havoc
with long-term financial strategies.
CIOs must ensure they retain full visibility and control over their
IT estate, to minimise potential risks and unplanned spend.
5. CLOUD BARRIER: Too much choice of how to pay for and
control cloud spend complicates adoption
Solution #1
Pay-As-You-Go Cloud: Simple accessible
tech, in a simple accessible way
Many cloud providers promote contracts and
multi-year commitments to guarantee continual
revenue, a Pay-As-You-Go model allows
organisations to streamline applications, save
money and be flexible.

7. CLOUD BARRIER: Existing licensing agreements are delaying
moving certain applications to the cloud
Software licensing has long been renowned as an area
fraught with complexity which concerns many CIOs.
The challenge for organisations is to ensure they
remain complaint with licensing regulations, while
ensuring they optimise their license entitlements.
The inflexibility of some existing software licenses is a
difficult obstacle to overcome. Many licensing
agreements in use were designed when the vast
majority of deployments were on-premise. As a result,
the inflexibility of fixed-term licensing agreements
hinders the speed at which organisations can move
applications to the cloud.
To adopt cloud successfully the CIO’s strategy must
support both new and existing software assets. This
can be difficult because most organisations have a
variety of software licenses in place. It can therefore
be problematic to ensure they are compliant.
Agree the inflexibility of fixed
term on-prem licensing
agreements has hindered
speed at which organisations
have been able to move apps
to the cloud
CIOs see existing software
license agreements as a delay
to moving certain applications
to the cloud
8. Solution
Software Asset Management
CLOUD BARRIER: Existing licensing agreements are delaying
moving certain applications to the cloud
Software licensing and asset management is a complex business. There can be a high risk of non-
compliance and overspend on incorrect software entitlements. IT teams can also struggle to maintain
visibility and control of users’ devices and applications as mobile enabled workforces and cloud usage
increase.
To simplify the move to the Cloud and ensure that software investments continue to deliver value, a robust
Software Asset Management (SAM) strategy is needed.
This can include:
• Benchmarking of existing assets to realise a true picture of the IT estate.
• Implementing policies and procedures to support new and existing software assets.
• Extensive licence management control to optimise spend and usage, mitigate software risks and
ensure compliance across the organisation.

10. CLOUD BARRIER: Cloud disrupts IT departments and
demands new skills
of CIOs think
cloud has changed
IT skills required.
Cloud has also charged IT departments with
new requirements and tasks they may have
little experience of, such as integrating cloud
services from a mixture of public and private
environments, so that they run seamlessly.
At the same time, IT teams often have to
re-architect applications to be delivered as
either a public or private cloud service, or
through a hybrid model, because many legacy
applications used by businesses have not
been built with cloud in mind. These needs
mean that the IT skills that organisations
require today are changing rapidly as cloud
grows its influence.
11. Solution
CLOUD BARRIER: Cloud disrupts IT departments and
demands new skills
Realise current situation, set objectives and plan how to achieve them
Some departments within an organisation may have taken the first steps into the Cloud without consulting
IT resulting in disparate tools and software being used leaving open an organisation up to security risks. To
overcome this and before implementing a cloud strategy, a clear picture of what is being used has to be
established. By implementing an IT asset management tool organisations can gain a view of all devices and
software that is being used and gain full control.
Once this is in place, the IT cloud strategy can be formed allowing a roadmap to be drawn up with clear and
realistic objectives and timings. Rather than going for a disruptive overnight move to the Cloud a planned
staged approach can minimise disruption, as well as spread out costs. For example, this could involve first
moving Disaster Recovery to a cloud service or an Active Directory workload to the cloud. Then once these
are in place and working, move more complex workloads such as SQL.
Organisations are increasingly turning to specialist partners to provide a flexible supply of skilled people.
This may be on a contractual basis or a full managed services partner. By taking this approach existing staff
are free to work on core business operations.
