Delivering processing services and expertise to support our customers today, and in the future
Our talented experts have decades of experience to provide proven, trusted, and dependable services to over 400 customers in the London market. Alongside our existing services, our position as a global insurance services and technology provider gives us the ability to lead, shape, and build the digital future of the global insurance marketplace.
Comprehensive services for the London insurance market
The ‘London market’ is a complex ecosystem of brokers, managing agents, syndicates, companies and experts, who all use shared services to underwrite premiums and pay claims when they arise. It includes the Lloyd's and Company markets, insurance and reinsurance business.
We have over 500 employees helping insurers compete in a fast-changing, and competitive market. We're supported by around 1,400 affiliates in DXC Technology to facilitate our processes and systems, and we partner with organisations including ActiveOps, Amazon Web Services, and Vitesse to ensure our services are smarter, swifter, and smoother.
Our services for the Lloyd's and Company markets, for insurance and reinsurance business are split into two categories.
Leading, shaping, and building the digital future of the global insurance marketplace
Velonetic is delivering the future of insurance today. In May 2022, Velonetic's shareholders - DXC Technology, the International Underwriting Association, and Lloyd’s - agreed an extension of the contract with DXC Technology to build the digital platform that will underpin the London market's transformation. This included a set of services that will create the foundation to safely transition approximately 400 London market insurance companies over to the cloud-native digital platform running on AWS. The single digital platform will transform legacy systems to modern applications using AI, automation, and the cloud, bringing significant improvements in speed and efficiency. Velonetic’s new digital premium and claims processing services will bring straight-through processing and reduce resource intensive tasks.
The ‘build’ is made up of five sequences. We have delivered the first two sequences:
- foundational capabilities; and
- our 'Global premium and claims processing service' which is live and in-service for customers now. We are excited at the opportunities our new service offers us to explore new territories where our services can deliver real value.
We are on track to deliver the remaining sequences in two phases for adoption in 2024.
