So, Ri3K has finally been sold to the Qatar Financial Centre. This announcement has come ‘hot on the heels’ of the panel debate at the recent Insurance Day Technology Forum on whether the emerging markets, including of course Qatar, will pose a threat to London based on their better use of technology.
As a panel member I made the observation that any new hubs, such as Qatar or New York, would inevitably be based on an electronic model. Qatar had already ‘put a stake in the ground’ by declaring from the outset its intention to utilise an electronic model and its acquisition of Ri3K has clearly been another step to meeting that objective.
Qatarlyst said its ownership of RI3K will "help to accelerate the development of the Qatar Financial Centre in its declared ambition to become a leading hub for reinsurance in the GCC region and beyond". Whether it does meet its ambition only time will tell, but will the possibility of this serve to keep London on its toes?
James Sutherland, CEO of Qatarlyst, explained that one of his priorities will be to merge the two businesses and win new customers to the platform. "We support the London Market Reform agenda and our aim is to win over all the major brokers and risk assumers in the London market to using the single Qatarlyst platform to facilitate their business."

For those not ‘in the know’ the Rueschlikon initiative was set up to establish a central platform for the automation of (re)insurance transaction processing post binding, in order to increase the speed, quality and transparency of transactions. This has started with a pilot focussed on ACORD accounting & settlement standards (eBot) with a limited rollout.
The goals for the Rueschlikon initiative are to: replace paper by e-data for reasons of cost, speed and quality; avoid proprietary standards and connections and foster an industry solution for the benefit of our clients; enable the evolution of the (re)insurance business model and to enhance the reputation and attractiveness of the insurance industry for investors and other stakeholders.

Back to the future of technology trends: the insurance industry is on a quest for the "Holy Grail" of technology that will, basically, bring it up to date with the 21st century
To this end, insurers are demanding answers from IT vendors. What is today's hottest technology? What will be tomorrow's? According to analysts and vendors at the Insurance Technology Trends roundtable at this June's annual meeting of the Insurance Accounting & Systems Association in Anaheim, Calif., however, insurers must solve other, more fundamental problems now if they hope to see technological breakthrough tomorrow. This seems to be a sensible conclusion, there has to be a sound basis of technology and process from which we can advance.

Of all the potential showstoppers to enterprise adoption of the public cloud — including such well-touted concerns as security, interoperability and portability — liability policies have emerged as the one most likely to derail progress. It doesn’t take an astrologist to predict that at some point, the cloud is going to go down — whether for routine service or by malicious intent. The question is, who is responsible for damages?

While insurers are often cautious in their adoption of emerging technologies, carriers in the US seem to be investing in four solutions: cloud computing; mobile; analytics and social networking. We will see these crossing the Atlantic?
Insurers remain cautious in their adoption of newer technologies, but when solutions are perceived as being potentially game-changing, the rules can change. This month we take a look at four technology areas in which insurers are beginning to invest serious attention and, in some cases, serious cash.
