Welcome to Insurance Leadership Forum (ILF) 2019

The ILF is LTI’s exclusive, invitation-only Insurance event, conceptualized as a platform for industry thought-leaders, IT strategists and business leaders.

In its 9th year, the event’s theme – Digitizing the Core – is also one of the key pillars of LTI’s overarching ambition of Powering the Breakaway Insurance Enterprise.

Automation at the core:
Successful digital transformation journeys are built on a solid foundation of scalable yet flexible core systems. Modern core insurance systems enable companies to standardize their business process, enhance speed-to-market, operations and generally an ease of doing business.

The power of these core systems can be amplified by a well-integrated digital infrastructure to influence business outcomes. Such an ecosystem can provide a combination of an immersive user experience, advanced automation, artificial intelligence and cloud capabilities. To achieve these benefits and the resulting business transformation, it ‘digitize the core’ and ‘innovate at the edges’ are imperatives for insurance companies.

Being better by being different:
Recognizing these elements, breakaway insurance enterprises take well-defined steps to realize the ‘Digitizing the core’ vision. The new and improved infrastructure helps insurance companies achieve sustained innovation and strong competitive differentiation – a must for industry sustenance.

Innovation in action:
Event participants can see real examples of smart underwriting, claims transformation and customer experience, built using LTI’s state-of-art Mosaic platform.
