Driving Connected Experiences in Insurance.
At the 2009 ACORD LOMA show, Microsoft and key partners demonstrated how we can help insurance companies realize the benefits of becoming a People-Ready Business with software that uniquely enables people to create value in their roles. Through Microsoft's Insurance Value Chain, carriers can quickly adapt to a more competitive business environment by breaking down the barriers that prevent people, business processes, and systems and tools from executing with the maximum efficiency and expediency. By creating Connected Experiences that bridge the Digital Lifestyle and Digital Workstyle, our customers can transform the customer, employee, and operations experience; turn challenges into opportunities; and drive positive results.
