Increasingly, financial services companies and their regulators are taking a global view as instant communications make the world a smaller place and are accelerating the maturity of developing countries. Insurance Newslink 29 years ago predicted this trend and over that period of time has uniquely brought together strategic intelligence from source across all insurance/reinsurance markets and related IT/InsurTech trends into an internet-based Research Matrix database self-service and reporting facility. As technology and analytics progresses, with such advances as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and dispersed digitisation uplift following the COVID-19 pandemic, the service will play an increasingly important role in adding value to internal company analytics in a global market context.
Today, Insurance Newslink has over 55,000 expertly selected articles from source indexed across a Matrix of date, continent /country, company, regulatory, company, research/publications, and IT applications by business function. Our Banking Newslink Global Trends service commencing in 2000 has over 36,000 articles, and Financial Newslink combines both services at www.onlystrategic.com
Insurers, reinsurers and banks need to know about each other’s positioning and IT suppliers of all types and sizes need to understand the key business and regulatory issues and opportunities. The surge of InsurTech, FinTech and digitisation initiatives have emerged from all over the globe-only a few years ago, the Chinese were finding out about progress in the US and Europe and could well now be ahead of the field. Speedier change is impacting the mind-set of the customer/consumer.
The service acts as a strategic catalyst enabling quicker, better decisions across market players and suppliers bringing global market,IT, and regulatory trends together, adding value for student through to CEO.
