This year’s User Conference took place on June 20. The participants met in the pleasantly cool offices of our customer AXA Switzerland in Winterthur in hot 29 degree temperatures. Our moderator Michel Geelhaar once again led us through the afternoon with wit and charm.
Urs Stoob opened the User Conference
Urs Stoob, Head of Property & Casualty Products / Applications at AXA Switzerland, welcomed the guests as host with a brief introduction to the building and the history of AXA in Winterthur.
The first technical presentation was given by his colleague Lukas Keller, Product Owner Plug & Play, together with Markus Thöni, Project Manager at Consor. Using the example of travel and cell phone insurance, Lukas showed in a demo how the growth market of embedded insurance at AXA Switzerland is mapped in Consor Universal.
Then it got technical: our CTO Andrea Rezzonico presented the new Consor Universal Blackbird version together with our Head of Software Development, Marco Regniet. The technical advantages – also with regard to future requirements and the use of Universal as software as a service – were explained in a simple and understandable way, even for laypeople.
After the break, Christoph Moor, Head Product Underwriting Liability at Zurich Insurance, showed how he and his team use Consor Universal Blackbird in the large customer business and also gave a live demonstration of the new Wording View. The audience showed great interest in the flexibility and individuality that this enables in wording.
In the subsequent interview with Bettina Niklaus, Head of Customer Projects at Consor, the new Consor Universal Cloud Service was presented. In future, our customers will be able to obtain Consor Universal as an all-round carefree package in the cloud service, thus saving their own infrastructure resources.
As has almost become a tradition, Martin Nokes, our Head of Business Development, then presented some new features of Consor Universal – not all of them, of course, as there wouldn’t have been enough time.
This year’s keynote speech was given by digital expert Dr. Sarah Genner. Under the title “Navigating Uncertainty and Other Future Skills”, she guided the audience through her field of research. In exciting and impressive theses, she showed the challenges that our new world of work brings with it and which skills will help us to master them.
At the subsequent drinks reception in AXA’s garden, the participants chatted for a long time and made new contacts. Once again, we would like to thank our host AXA Switzerland!
We will soon be making the individual presentations available to you in a playlist on our YouTube channel. Would you like to find out more about the topics or attend the next User Conference? Get in touch with us, we look forward to hearing from you.
