Japan Roundtable at ACORD

A group of insurance executives from Japan visited ACORD today in Pearl River. They were representatives of Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance, SOMPO, Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance, Nissay Dowa General Insurance, The Center for Financial Industry Information, TMSN Net, Microsoft and IBM.

They presented an overview of the Japanese insurance market and we spoke about ACORD. The group indicated that a Working Group was created among several of the top insurers to discuss the future of standardization and possible relationship with ACORD.

New Book

My latest book presents the challenges members face when adopting industry standards as well as the opportunities that come as a result. It features my discussions with many people over many years and follows the foundation I set in my first book "The Business Information Revolution".

Industry standards are never adopted in a vacuum. They become part and parcel of all the trials and tribulations managers face in their day to day work. ACORD Standards are always part of a larger software development project that brings along people, priorities and politics. Adopting industry standards isn't simple, but the benefits far outweigh the problems of building and maintaining proprietary alternatives.

I trust that you will appreciate my frankness, identify with some of the challenges and learn from what others have done to pave the way.
