Feedback – Past ISC events:
"The Industry Solution Council on Insurance in La Gaude, 2 June 2008, presented a good opportunity to receive an overview of many specific areas of innovation in one shot, without having the stress of any particular negotiation going on around the event. What was very interesting was how the themes were put together, overlapping some specific Insurance market topics with other, more generic subjects, which will strongly influence our business in the near future. With regard to the organisation, this was perfect, and the location really enjoyable." - Mr. Claudio Tancini, G-IT Operation - Global Function Leads - Processes and Service Lead, Zurich Financial Services
“The choice of trends, developments and research project was very good. The event was very well organised. We had the opportunity to prepare questions in the evening that an expert answered directly the following morning. Although the event was designed with specialists in mind, the topics and trends were explained in a very practical way, relating directly to the industry. It was a succes in every way - the organisation of the event and the attention paid to the participants by GSE and IBM was excellent.” – Mr. Hanno Lenz, ITERGO Informationstechnologie GmbH, Germany
“I liked the event a lot, particularly because we were able to talk with people from other sectors about acute problems. What I also rate highly was that we were able to get a direct insight into current research projects and future developments that IBM will be working on.” – Mr. Silvan Schellenberg, UBS AG, Switzerland
“Thanks for the invitation it was a real pleasure to share experiences with other GSE members and IBM. I congratulate you and all the organizers for a job well done” – Mr. Jesús Molina Díaz, Director Área Innovación, El Corte Inglés S.A., Spain
“Excellent organisation and very interesting experience“– Mr. Andrés Modet Alamo, System Architecture Director, Banco Popular Español, Spain | |
