It's difficult to throw away a comfortable pair of jeans or afavorite sweatshirt. We grow attached to things and they becomepart of our identity. But sometimes we have to move on.

Tech-Decisions.com is now officially in that “moving on”stage.

If you go online to read this or any other Tech Decisionsarticle or check on many of the topics that have made our Web sitea favorite place to go for the insurance IT industry, you willreceive a surprise.

There's a new home for all the content we produce. It's calledPropertyCasualty360.com, a portal that connects all thepublications and Web sites that make up the Property Casualty Groupof our parent company, Summit Business Media.

The portal will be an all-inclusive source for P&C news,analysis, trends, and industry activity. It will enableprofessionals at all levels of the industry to understand and reactto the market challenges they face.

In addition to the tech news and trends you've come to expectfrom us, you will receive information on the claims segment of theP&C industry from the editors of Claims magazine. You'll findinformation on the agency and brokerage channel from the editors ofAmerican Agent & Broker. You'll get information on what ishappening in the always volatile Florida market from the editors ofFlorida Underwriter. And, of course, you will find out just abouteverything you need to know about insurance from the editors ofNational Underwriter P&C.

Before we go any further, this refers to the Tech Decisionsonline presence only. Tech Decisions magazine is not going away.The publishing industry is changing—there's no argument there—butour readers have continually spoken of their desire for a printpublication and we are not going to abandon that channel.

But just as technology has drastically changed insurance overthe last decade, the news and information channels have changed forpublications such as ours thanks to the Internet.

We've steadily grown into an online news and information sourceover the years. Our Web site has been a precursor to the newPropertyCasualty360.com portal in that we have taken advantage ofthe strong industry knowledge from our National Underwriter P&Csister publication with industry news sections on our Web site andin our weekly e-newsletter devoted to industry news beyond the ITdepartment.

We've continually written over the last five years about theimportance of getting IT people to understand the entire businessoperation and now we are following through with it in the form ofPropertyCasualty360.com. All your industry news—including thetechnology news you've come to expect—will be there.
