Insurance Apps

I found a good, short (2:26) video demonstrating a mobile insurance app on an iPad, using IBM's Worklight technology. The key technical point in the demo is that policy information isn't kept on the device but loaded rapidly from secure servers. And the key business point? It's not made explicitly in the video, but when you view demos like this, it's hard not to believe that tablet+cloud is the only way ahead for every agent. IBM Developer Works

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.
