On June 12, 2024, it was once again time for our annual User Conference, this year held in the west of Zurich. We spent an exciting afternoon with our customers at Westhive.
Marco Regniet and Bettina Niklaus with our host Michel Geelhaar
Ralph Tegtmeier and Dr. Uwe Grabosch from our customer VGH Versicherungen kicked things off this year. In their presentation, they vividly described how the use of Consor Universal has simplified and standardized risk analysis and pricing for industrial companies and municipalities. They also explained how Consor Universal fits into the existing IT landscape and thus ensures greater efficiency and consistency in day-to-day work.
Our CTO Andrea Rezzonico then explained in his presentation how our Consor Universal Cloud Service is structured from a technical perspective and how we have organized security and data storage. The topic of security was discussed in greater depth in the subsequent interview with our CISO Florian Haid.
After the break, Markus Thöni talked about how the right to be forgotten was implemented at our customer Helvetia Specialty Lines in accordance with national and EU legislation under the title “Spring cleaning in the databases”. Thanks to the structure and design of Consor Universal, compliance with legal regulations and the efficient handling of data deletion can be automated and synergies can be used sensibly.
Bettina Niklaus and Marco Regniet then shared their first flight experiences with the Consor Universal Blackbird version. Valuable lessons learned and best practices help our customers to implement their upgrade efficiently and quickly.
As in previous years, our Head of Business Development, Martin Nokes, presented the latest features and developments in Universal. In addition to the many new highlights in Consor Universal, he was able to give a preview of the new web design engine.
This year’s keynote speech was given by our new advisory board member for Germany, Dr. Christopher Lohmann. His exciting contribution on the trends and megatrends in industrial insurance and the challenges that insurers will have to overcome in the future gave the audience food for thought. Thanks to his decades of experience in industrial insurance – including as CEO of HDI Germany and Gothaer – and his numerous contacts, Christopher has an excellent overview of the market situation and upcoming developments, which he was happy to share with our customers.
Our guests were able to talk about this for a long time during the subsequent drinks reception.
We have recorded the presentations, you can find them in this Playlist on our YouTube channel.
