The insurance industry–for the second time this decade–is going through some difficult times. Already facing a soft market entering 2008, the industry exits one year and enters another with not only the market on its mind but the global economy, as well.

Tech Decisions contacted several leading CIOs for their view of where things are headed in 2009. Included in the discussion are Srinivas Koushik, senior vice president, property/casualty insurance operations, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company; Neal Ruffalo, vice president and CIO, ACUITY; Michael Weiskircher, CIO, State National Companies; and Michael Fergang, CIO, Grange Insurance.

We asked them a variety of questions on the economy, the insurance market, and what IT departments can do for the business to help ride out the financial mayhem that mainly has impacted banking and investments but has clipped the wings of some leading insurers, too.
