New York, London, Dubai, Pune, July 25, 2018 – Synechron, Inc, a global financial services consulting and technology services provider, and CapSpecialty, a leading provider of specialty insurance for small to mid-sized business in the US, have collaborated to build an excess casualty platform, DragonX. The project focused on the creation of a portal solution powered by emerging, innovative technologies and an InsurTech approach to streamline business processes for brokers and underwriters while empowering them to be agile against competitive startups and Insurtech firms. As an out-of-the-box thinking insurance company, CapSpecialty chose Synechron, a digital consulting firm focused on out-of-the-box thinking technology provider, to develop the solution.

Today, the insurance industry is dominated by legacy institutions relying on outdated systems and technologies, resulting in reliance on many isolated systems, decentralized communication, and unstructured data delivered and processed both manually and electronically. CapSpecialty recognized the operational inefficiencies in this system and sought to improve processes by offering intuitive tools to streamline these processes for their brokers. Synechron’s scope of work included creating a project roadmap and designing the portal.

DragonX, a commercial insurance platform, unifies all of the previously siloed operations into one central location for the key areas that brokers focus on for excess casualty. Additionally, the portal provides specialized tools to more effectively manage data and increase the bottom line. The portal addresses pain points such as midterm endorsements, and affords brokers improved speed, and as a byproduct, improved efficiency. DragonXwas built specifically for brokers with brokers involved in the design from stage one. Synechron and CapSpecialty’s unique approach began with interviewing 20 brokers around the country to uncover the challenges they are facing with current systems and to identify the functionality in an ideal system. Synechron leveraged its design thinking analysis and user experience design expertise to complete end-to-end development of a user-friendly interface and design based on the results of the survey, delivering increased speed and efficiency through the automated platform. This approach helped shape the development and truly arm a traditional carrier with innovative technologies in-house, rather than relying on investments in outside competitive startups for an agile approach.

Adam Sills, Head Professional Liability and Small Commercial P&C at CapSpecialty said, “At CapSpecialty, we are committed to providing tools that will empower our brokers while providing a high-quality experience. Previous legacy systems were not able to perform to the standard we expect, so creating a new, innovative solution was the obvious next step. Synechron was able to pair its insurance-domain expertise and deep technology and digital innovation skills with CapSpecialty’s vision for what a system could deliver. This allowed us to make our revolutionary vision into reality and bring a competitive advantage to brokers.”

Ashish Nangla, Senior Director, Synechron commented, “The insurance industry as a whole has been slow to change historically, but new startups and InsurTechs are driving the need to innovate or be left behind. We are pleased to work with CapSpecialty as it invests in innovative technologies toward a shared vision of revolutionizing business processes that bring digital-first approach directly to brokers to meet the changing needs of business owners, while leveraging emerging technology solutions.”

‘IL TakeCare’ app powered by Practo’s Trinity technology

• Book appointment on real-time basis to consult a doctor
• Auto claim filing and real-time approval of outpatient claims
• Conduct prescribed tests at your nearest network diagnostics centre or avail of home sample pick-up
• Buy discounted medicines at a store or get them delivered at home

New Delhi, January 24, 2018: ICICI Lombard General Insurance, one of the leading general insurance companies in the country has launched a health insurance app — ‘IL TakeCare’ in collaboration with Practo, the leading healthcare platform. This one-of-its-kind solution covers Outpatient (OPD) expenses of all its customers.

The app meets key customer requirements with respect to their primary healthcare needs. This includes hassle-free, real-time claim authentication of expenses such as doctor consultation, medical tests, pharmacy spends etc. It also empowers the user to access a cashless network comprising of specialized doctors. The app thus addresses a key problem of customers wherein they were hitherto required to pay for OPD expenses from their own pocket.

The ‘IL TakeCare’ application works in sync with Practo’s ‘Trinity’ technology to allow customers to make cashless visits with doctors including those who operate stand-alone clinics.

The IL TakeCare app also allows users to book a network diagnostics centre for medical tests and receive the results on the app, which automatically becomes an online repository of medical records. They can also buy medicines at discounted rates and pick them from a medical store or get delivery at their home.

Consumer OPD journey through the app

The app facilitates real-time view of personal health records (PHRs) as well as benefits, billings and transactions for service providers. It comes with a one-time password (OTP) for all transactions via mobile or email and provides multiple access points for family members. The solution will be made available to customers with due consent of the regulator.

ICICI Lombard General Insurance, MD & CEO, Bhargav Dasgupta said, “At ICICI Lombard, we are focused on introducing innovative solutions that make life easy for our customers. Our ‘IL TakeCare’ app is a step forward in this direction and caters to a large and currently neglected aspect of healthcare – outpatient expenses towards consultation, diagnostics and medicines. With this unique solution, we are addressing a critical need of customers to avail affordable outpatient facilities and treatment. We are happy to partner with Practo to introduce a solution, that will allow our customers to get a cashless experience for doctor consultations at clinics.”

Trinity technology of Practo

Practo’s new Trinity technology will help patients get a paperless and cashless experience for everyday healthcare needs such as doctor visits, medicine purchase, online consultations as well as diagnostic tests. With Trinity’s integration into IL TakeCare, customers can visit ICICI Lombard empaneled clinics on Practo’s provider network by booking appointments through the app or just walking into a clinic. The system will recognize them automatically and verify the transaction to improve transparency.

Trinity enables seamless transfer of structured digital prescriptions from the doctors to help ICICI Lombard identify prescribed tests, treatments and medicines which facilitates real-time adjudication of claims and would ensure periodic settlement for doctors. With Trinity, doctors and clinics across the country can now accept ICICI Lombard Insurance via Practo’s software platform.

Practo Founder and CEO, Shashank ND said, “Practo has been working towards simplifying the healthcare experience for consumers. Today we are launching our Trinity technology to help patients get a paperless and cashless consultation experience at neighborhood clinics. It will also help the doctor community provide a better, more seamless experience to their patients. Trinity is an important step in our efforts to build a connected healthcare platform. We are delighted to partner with ICICI Lombard to bring Trinity technology to their customers.”

A growing healthcare market, increased penetration and new models of service delivery are driving the Indian health insurance industry, which is poised to reach Rs 500 billion by 2021 at a CAGR of 20 per cent. Having said this, lack of outpatient coverage is a major inhibiting factor for growth, with two-third of medical expenses classified as out of pocket. As per estimates, standalone outpatient care in terms of size would be 6 times of the current health insurance market. Drugs, diagnostics, consultations and tests primarily constitute out-of-pocket-expenses. In India, outpatient expenses are met through personal income and savings, raising the issue of ability of OPD patients to pay for various medical services. In fact, as per experts, about 3.5 per cent of population is below the poverty line because of out-of-pocket expenses, which can decline to 0.5 per cent if out-of-pocket payments on outpatient care are excluded.

About ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Ltd:

We were the largest private-sector non-life insurer in India based on gross direct premium income in fiscal 2017, a position we have maintained since fiscal 2004 after being one of the first few private-sector companies to commence operations in the sector in fiscal 2002. We offer our customers a comprehensive and well-diversified range of products, including motor, health, crop, fire, personal accident, marine, engineering and liability insurance, through multiple distribution channels.

Hybrid WAN Increases Available Bandwidth by 500 Percent

Advanced SD-WAN solution enables one of the region’s largest expert growers and suppliers to seamlessly connect branch locations and support staff activities

December 16, 2017 – Silver Peak, the global leader in broadband and hybrid WAN solutions, today announced that one of the largest expert growers and suppliers of high-quality fresh vegetables in Europe, Produce World, has deployed the Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) solution to connect employees in its remote branch locations to business applications. Since deploying EdgeConnect, Produce World has increased its available bandwidth more than five-fold.

As a dispersed organisation with five production sites spanning the UK – four factory sites and a smaller 10-user site in Scotland – Produce World needed to increase bandwidth to support more advanced video and audio conferencing, as well as business critical applications, including Citrix. With each site running on a combination of asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), fibre lease lines and broadband connections, with multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) back-up links, Produce World wanted a solution that would give it the highest level of visibility and control over its network traffic, while assuring application service level agreements (SLAs) over any combination of transport services. Finally, the company wanted to improve internet connectivity for both staff and visitors.

After assessing the market, Produce World elected to deploy the Silver Peak EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution due to its centralised control, ease of deployment, and its ability to extend application SLAs to its dispersed locations. EdgeConnect automatically reports on traffic across the network, providing valuable visibility, whilst path conditioning ensures the highest level of network and application performance. Since deploying the SD-WAN solution, Produce World is now able to take advantage of five times more available bandwidth than it had previously.

“With several factory sites across the UK, we rely on having the most efficient business processes in place,” said Richard Billington, infrastructure manager at Produce World. “We knew we needed more bandwidth to support data-hungry conferencing applications, such as skype, but our traditional WAN infrastructure was unable to do that, nor provide us with the desired control over our network. Indeed, we wanted to be able to choose where traffic was sent depending on its importance. At the same time, we wanted to offer our employees more reliable Wi-Fi access. Whether it was streaming videos, accessing social media or browsing online, we wanted to support – not define – what our employees can do in the workplace.”

Produce World is using Unity Orchestrator, included with EdgeConnect, which provides unprecedented levels of visibility and control of data centre and cloud applications. It streamlines internal and external business processes from a central command, can assign business intent policies, and monitor real-time throughput.

“The Silver Peak EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution has given us the control that we needed,” continued Billington. “We are now able to decide how and where our applications traffic is delivered, which is enabling us to move away from the traditional MPLS links to more flexible and cost-effective broadband transport technologies. With five times as much available bandwidth, our employees and visitors are now able to access the applications they need, without impacting network performance. We’re extremely happy to continue working with Silver Peak, who have proven a great partner.”

“Produce World serves as another excellent example of how the EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution is addressing key business challenges and making our customer’s businesses more agile and successful than ever before,” said Chris Helfer, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Silver Peak. “The power of EdgeConnect has enabled Produce World to dramatically increase its available bandwidth, which has significantly improved their employee’s user experience and enabled the firm to focus on business-enabling initiatives to propel its business forward.”

“Entertainment is a huge part of every Indian’s life and over the years we have been at the forefront distributing India’s rich repertoire of content, digitally across devices and screens. Now with our partnership with Kiora we will further strengthen our distribution of content across India” said Neeraj Roy, Hungama’s Managing Director & CEO. “Kiora’s secure offline delivery capabilities allow us to deliver an entertainment experience that is unprecedented in its variety and quality even in an off-line environment.”

Kiora is a Bengaluru-based company that Intertrust acquired in March of this year.  It offers world-class DRM technology with a content delivery architecture which can distribute content to mobile devices over its own local Wi-Fi network. It is an open system that supports sell-through, rental, subscriptions and advertising models. Using Kiora in weak Internet connection allows consumers to enjoy the same quality of streaming media as in a persistently connected high broadband environment.

“We are delighted to partner with Hungama to provide a solution for consumers in weak or no network settings,” said Talal Shamoon, Intertrust’s Chief Executive Officer. “India is one of the world’s richest content markets, with a massive population that thirsts for it and is always on the move. Providing access to those who don’t have broadband access is key to winning it. We built Kiora specifically for markets like India, and partnering with Hungama puts exciting premium entertainment in the hands of millions.”

The combined solution will provide a secured one-stop content delivery solution using a specially designed app, consumers with smartphones, tablets or laptops will be able to enjoy content in any setting where a Kiora system is installed.

New Release of Hitachi Content Platform Anywhere Featured at Mobile World Congress 2016

Bangalore, India – February 18, 2016 — Hitachi Data Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., today announced version 2.1 of Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) Anywhere that allows service providers and IT organizations to quickly and easily deliver the most secure content mobility solution offered by HDS to their users under their own brand. These new capabilities for file sync, folder sharing and end-user data protection will be on display next week at Mobile World Congress in the Hitachi booth in Hall 6, Stand 6G21. HCP Anywhere v.2.1 brings new features that allow external parties to upload data to shared HCP Anywhere folders, enhance team folders, and evolve beyond file sync and share with new data protection tools for end-user files. This new release also includes enhancements that further improve the security, ease of use, and intelligence of underlying storage and network resources.

Today, workers – the producers and consumers of corporate information – are increasingly mobile and carry multiple devices. Balancing the information access and usability needs of these users with the need for the enterprise to ensure corporate information is protected and secure has resulted in a needs gap between producers and consumers.

Whether a business is regulated internally or by an outside organization, there are growing requirements for businesses to be sure their organizational information is visible, under control and secure, regardless of location or device. HCP Anywhere directly addresses these requirements.

With HCP Anywhere, service providers and private IT organizations can deliver next-generation file services for their users without compromising business expectations or the conveniences of the mobile workforce. With the most recent release of HCP Anywhere, organizations and service providers gain new features such as data protection and self-service recovery of users’ files and folders, secure external data sharing, collaborative workspaces, full auditability, and better content control.

HCP Anywhere is a well-integrated, tested, and supported solution that lets organizations easily deliver extensible cloud storage solutions under their own brand to improve user adoption. IT service providers, both public and private, can now offer their users these advanced file services without having to develop them themselves.

“As an IT service provider specializing in telecommunications and data center services, we were able to speed our time to market for new cloud services based on the integrated Hitachi Content portfolio. Through a combination of Hitachi Content Platform as the core cloud storage repository, Hitachi Data Ingestor as the cloud gateway and Hitachi Content Platform Anywhere for file synchronization and sharing and remote management, we were able to quickly and easily bring to market new value added services for our customers.” – Sergio Grassi, Sales Director, Infracom Italia SpA

HCP Anywhere has won many awards for its new capabilities. Most recently, HCP Anywhere was selected as a TechTarget 2015 Product of the Year finalist in the enterprise storage system software category. HCP Anywhere also received the TMC 2015 Cloud Computing Excellence Award and the 2014-2015 Cloud Award for Best in Mobile Solutions category.

“We are proud to announce that HCP Anywhere is the most secure offering in the market – the newest release is the first HDS product to sync, share and protect users’ data. Our passion for data means we are committed to continually enhancing the HCP portfolio, guaranteeing secure, intelligent data management by optimizing data control and visibility.” – Peter Sjoberg, chief technology officer (CTO), Cloud and Mobility, Hitachi Data Systems.

About the Hitachi Content Platform Portfolio

HCP Anywhere is part of the Hitachi Content Platform portfolio, which is the only integrated solution that brings together object storage, file sync and share, file gateways and file protection to create truly secure, simple, smart and flexible cloud storage solutions. It sets itself apart from competitors for its distinct ability to integrate links automatically into emails instead of sending attachments. HCP Anywhere is the connection between data on user devices and the data center where the HCP object storage software intelligently automates IT operations to manage data at petabyte scale. The portfolio consists of Hitachi Content Platform, Hitachi Content Platform Anywhere, and Hitachi Data Ingestor. With the HCP portfolio, IT organizations and cloud service providers can easily store, share, synchronize, protect, preserve, analyze and retrieve file data from a single system. This consolidation makes it easier for IT to manage the volume and variety of data by using policies to automate operations such as data protection and tiering. As a result, compression, deduplication, erasure coding and hybrid cloud support make storage efficient and cost-effective. The consolidated system also offers a much faster time to value for customers, and time to market for service providers by eliminating the hassles of do-it-yourself integration.
