FINEOS Co-Sponsors First Ever GroupTech Connect: Untangling the Group Insurance Value Chain for 2030
As the insurance value chain continues to get more complicated, brokers, carriers, core system vendors and insurtechs share their experiences and insights on how technology can help unravel this highly complex process.
ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#coresystems—FINEOS Corporation (ASX:FCL) today announced its co-sponsorship with Vericred, of the inaugural GroupTech Connect, a unique event that will host a conversation around resolving the growing complexity of the Group Benefits insurance value chain.
As the global leader of Employee Benefits core administration systems, FINEOS is well acquainted with the partnerships and various players across the Group Benefits insurance value chain. As the industry looks to the future and prepares for 2030, the next few years will be crucial to insurers seeking to keep/grow market share in the Group Benefits business as they radically change product and distribution models and the underlying technology that supports those models. GroupTech Connect provides a forum for industry leaders to explore the technology across the Group Benefit ecosystem, core systems, external distribution, and tech partners to meet the increasing challenges reshaping the Group Benefit value chain landscape.
FINEOS and Vericred, the platform powering digital quote-to-card experiences in health insurance and benefits, have partnered to bring together a rich lineup of speakers across brokers, core admin systems, carriers, insurtechs and more. Speakers will share the unique challenges within the insurance value chain today and how they are working to meet the challenges of 2030, starting with keynote speaker, Amy Friedrich – President of US Insurance Solutions at Principal.
