IT CONFERENCE
Keys to Success: The Business-IT Marriage, New Systems, Technology Breakthroughs
Do claims and IT matter? You better believe we do. Those were the words of Catherine Brune, senior vice president and chief technology officer with Allstate Insurance, as she opened the annual Tech Decisions Exposition and Conference (TechDEC) and ACE/SCLA program at Chicagos Hyatt Regency Hotel last month. Brune delivered the first of five keynote addresses. The event was sponsored by The National Underwriter Company, parent company of Tech Decisions.
Business units at Allstate have been working with information technology leaders to determine the companys most serious problems, according to Brune. [Business units] joined us at the table and helped us figure out what the priorities are, she said. Those discussions eventually led to movement away from the IT department making financial decisions on new projects. Weve changed the way we allocate our resources, she noted.
