NEWSLINK:HINDSIGHT-INSIGHT-FORESIGHT

Increasingly, financial services companies and their
regulators are taking a global view as instant
communications make the world a smaller place and are
accelerating the maturity of developing countries.
Insurance Newslink 30 years ago predicted this trend and
over that period of time has uniquely brought together
strategic intelligence from source across all
insurance/reinsurance markets and related IT/InsurTech
trends into an internet-based Research Matrix database
self-service and reporting facility. As technology and
analytics progresses, with such advances as machine
learning, artificial intelligence, and dispersed
digitisation uplift following the COVID-19 pandemic, the
service will play an increasingly important role in adding
value to internal company analytics in a global market
context.
Today, Insurance Newslink has over 57,000 expertly
selected articles from source indexed across a Matrix of
date, continent /country, company, regulatory, company,
research/publications, and IT applications by business
function. Our Banking Newslink Global Trends service
commencing in 2000 has over 37,000 articles, and Financial
Newslink combines both services at www.onlystrategic.com
Insurers, reinsurers and banks need to know about each
other’s positioning and IT suppliers of all types and
sizes need to understand the key business and regulatory
issues and opportunities. The surge of InsurTech, FinTech
and digitisation initiatives have emerged from all over
the globe-only a few years ago, the Chinese were finding
out about progress in the US and Europe and could well now
be ahead of the field. Speedier change is impacting the
mind-set of the customer/consumer.
The service acts as a strategic catalyst enabling quicker,
better decisions across market players and suppliers
bringing global market,IT, and regulatory trends together,
adding value for student through to CEO.
