Insurance
What we do
Northwave’s insurance operation, headed up by Julian Kirkman-Page, concentrates on helping companies in the industry maximise their potential through the use of technology. We can boast some thirty years collective experience covering everything from underwriting, broking, claims management, risk management and London market processing. In addition to understanding how technology can help the insurance process we also have in-depth practical business knowledge of insurance at senior management level.
Although the fundamentals of insurance have not changed for many years, companies are constantly striving to introduce new products, new methods of delivery, and to steal a march over their competitors whilst reducing unnecessary overhead at the same time. On this basis Northwave do not only work with insurance practitioners, but with the sales and marketing arms of insurance operations as well, particularly where internet based services can help rapidly deliver or test market new solutions.
Why it works
In addition to our own RC&A process and development capabilities both in the UK and in China, we constantly evaluate what off-the-shelf solutions are available that can be readily adapted to help deliver a business solution or solve a problem fast and economically.
We currently work with a number of solutions providers on this basis bringing our analysis and project management skills to the party as well as our insurance knowledge and understanding, often critical to the success of a project. Current partners include Microsoft, Unirisx and a number of document management providers with solutions aimed on different scales.
Who says so
Being a relatively small company, we typically work with smaller insurance operations, departments within larger operations or start-ups where we can become an integral part of a team delivering a solution. One such operation is U-drive where we took on a project to deliver an internet based solution on a shared risk basis and where we have now become an essential and integral part of the overall business.
