To support the market with adoption, and also to give confidence in the new digital solutions, Velonetic (previously known as the London Market Joint Ventures) has a comprehensive testing framework in place that will run alongside the build. The Velonetic testing framework features two stages:
-
Early-user testing with a select group of market participants called the Vanguard group
-
Self-service testing for all market participants
Vanguard testing
The Vanguard group has been set up to test real world implementations of the new digital services ahead of wider adoption, and has three main objectives.
Provide confidence through testing business scenarios with market participants
Identify best practice across onboarding, internal operations (etc.) for phases one and two
Provide a platform to refine training content and approach
What you can expect from the Vanguard programme
- Demo videos of tests and customer stories in early 2024
- Reports published after each test phase
- Regular updates at market events
Please get in touch with our Vanguard leadRay Johnstonto book an adoption workshop now.
Market self-testing
The test and learn approach with the Vanguard programme could reduce the amount of testing other market participants will need to undertake. Self-service testing for all market participants will begin in March 2024, avoiding the peak renewal season.
We will be sharing more information on market self-testing in 2024.
