Over the years, we've written hundreds of thousands of words on the most important topic in insurance technology: core systems replacement. George Grieve, himself, is responsible for many thousands of those words and quite a few of the better ideas that have arisen from the magazine on how best to implement a core systems strategy.

George is the author of the Shop Talk column that appears in each issue of Tech Decisions magazine and on this website and it has been my pleasure over the years as editor of the magazine to be the first set of eyes to look at his columns and apply only the most subtle of edits to his work.

Much of the best of George's work—and I'm glad I didn't have to be the one to choose which columns were included and which ones weren't—is now available in a single source, a book simply titled Shop Talk.
