One base at a time

Article Abstract:

Insurance companies are realizing the benefits of information technology. A systematic approach toward the assimilation of technology is more effective than an ad hoc approach. Insurance firms can manage assimilation through many techniques, including the use of outside experts, internal technologists and user task forces. The factors to consider when assessing a new technology include the amount of risk involved, the potential benefits and the amount of additional investment required.
