Lots of congratulations to Marine Aviation & General (MAG) who won the category “Technology Innovation of the Year – Broker” at the 2014 Insurance Times Tech Awards only a few moments ago.

We are extremely happy to announce that the Danish insurance companies NEM Forsikring and NEXT Forsikring has signed an agreement with us. The deal includes a full offload of all commercial and private portfolios from two current IT-platforms to IBSuite.
The deal are mentioned in the business section of the Monday morning edition of countrywide Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende. In this article the CEO of NEXT Forsikring, Pelle Martin Schmidt, states that the implementation of IBSuite already has started, and includes the use of geodata, gps-data and telematics to be able to align your premium with your actual behavior when eg. driving – “We’ve made a partnership with IBA that are strategically very important for us, because we can include micro-tariffs much more than before. It is important for us to be able to rate on microsegments in the future, instead of the more wide segmentation on eg. Zip codes we’ve used until now”, says Pelle Martin Schmidt.

Did you know, besides being experts within the insurance sector and creating IT solutions for insurance companies, IBA is on the ball when it comes to news within the IT-industry?
We enable innovative insurers to distribute products on smartphone and tablet platforms using e.g. QR-codes in kiosks, flyers, and websites or on customer documents making information available to your customers at the touch of a button.
QR-codes can create a contact in your cell phone, a link to a webpage or an app your customer can download and use for an online purchasing.
Scan the above QR-code with your smartphone or tablet, and it will take you to our webpage. Simple as that.
We are proud to announce that IBA will be the sponsor of the “Best Use of Technology to Improve Broker Experience”-category at the Insurance Times Tech Award 2014, taking place in London on September 25’th.

IBA is aware of the issue with the vulnerability in the OpenSSL cryptographic software library, however, IBA and IBSuite is not affected by this.
The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet. SSL/TLS provides communication security and privacy over the Internet for applications such as web, email, instant messaging (IM) and some virtual private networks (VPNs).
The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop on communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users.
As of April 1’st (no kidding!) the Danish “Miljøbidrag” has been updated on all active Danish customer systems.
