Sp Ep Ian Summers AdvantageGo & Aidan O'...

THE VOICE OF INSURANCE MARK GEOGHEGAN
About this episode

Today’s episode is the latest in a series of podcasts that are all about highlighting the technology companies that are part of AdvantageGo’s ecosystem.

And this one is really special because it involves the boss of one of the ecosystem’s most essential core partners.

Aidan O’Neill is the CEO of DOCOsoft, which is the firm on whose systems around half of the London Market’s claims are handled.

Aidan has been involved with the London Market for around 25 years and since the advent of the electronic claims file in 2008 DOCOsoft has built a leading market position around claims software.

Aidan and Ian are both people who anyone who has been part of the London Market community is likely to know or have met at least once.

And because of that in many ways this podcast is a personal embodiment of the ecosystem that Ian and AdvantageGo are trying to build – and this itself is a reflection of the wider ecosystem of collaborating and competing entities that make up the broader London Market that it serves.

Ian and Aidan have been collaborating for many years and get on extremely well.

So in this fun episode we get an overview of DOCOsoft and all the latest news on the ecosystem, but we also get the benefit of all of Ian and Aidan’s collective wisdom looking beyond the upcoming reforms of Blueprint 2 and into a world of straight-through processing and a market where the true benefits of new technologies such as AI are going to be reaped.

Greater productivity, better client service and outcomes and a much stronger flow of business into London are some of the prizes that Ian and Aidan can see just over the horizon.

It's inspiring stuff and the next half an hour is going to rattle by.
