In an article based on his Insurance Unplugged conversation with Lisa Wardlaw, Rival Technology Advisor John Higginson explores what happens when insurance software stops waiting for people to initiate the work. From systems that can recognize emerging risks and take action, to the importance of trust, data and human judgment, there's a lot to think about here. Lisa has put together an excellent deep dive into the conversation. Well worth a read! Read the full article: buff.ly/t5zN561 #InsuranceUnplugged #InsuranceTechnology #AI #InsurTech

Are we redesigning insurance, or just making the same processes faster? In the final episode of our Insurance Unplugged series with Lisa Wardlaw, our CEO, Greg Purdy, explores what it really means to rethink insurance technology in the age of AI. From moving beyond traditional workflows to building more intelligent, connected systems, the conversation looks at how technology can take on more of the routine work and give brokers more time to focus on what matters: their clients, advice and managing risk. They also discuss why modern system architecture matters for brokerages looking to grow, adapt and prepare for what's next.

The future of broker technology is about more than doing things faster. Brokers need technology that gives them more flexibility, simplifies their day-to-day work, and helps them grow. That's what we're working toward at Rival. Building technology that helps brokers work smarter and opens up new possibilities for their businesses. #InsuranceTechnology #InsuranceBrokers #InsurTech

What does it really take to modernize insurance technology? In case you missed it: our CEO, Greg Purdy, recently joined Jason Contant on Canadian Underwriter’s What’s on Dec? podcast to talk about where insurance technology is headed and what brokers and MGAs should be thinking about as they prepare for what comes next. They get into AI and where it’s creating real value, connectivity and data ownership, modern system architecture, and why modernization is about more than simply adopting new tools. It’s a great conversation about building a technology foundation that can adapt as the industry continues to change. 🎙️ Listen to the full episode: buff.ly/KNaSnD1 #InsuranceTechnology #InsurTech #AI #Podcast
