CIO Insurance Summit Testimonials

RMORSA Readiness and ERM Effectiveness In September 2011, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) unanimously adopted the Risk Management and Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (RMORSA) Model Act, with an effective date of January 1, 2015.

The findings of a recent survey1 by PwC on the US insurance industry’s Enterprise Risk Management and ORSA readiness indicate that significant investment in resources and organizational commitment are necessary for many insurers to facilitate filing a complete and comprehensive report in 2015.

Optimizing Performance Across Systems and Storage – Best Practices with TeamQuest Important applications demand good performance. And most applications important to a business – mission-critical production, live customer, business operational, user productivity, external collaboration, et.al. – are dependent not just on server performance, but on storage performance too. Unfortunately, because most performance management approaches are IT silo-focused, it is difficult to assure end-to-end performance for key applications that are heavily dependent on resources drawn from multiple IT domains. In this paper, we'll briefly review the challenges to assuring good performance in today's competitive IT environment, and discuss what it takes to overcome these challenges to deploy appropriate end-to-end infrastructure and operationally deliver high-performance service levels.
