On the "Insurance Coffee House" host, Nick Hoadley welcomes Andy Moss, the CEO and co-founder of Send. Andy provides an insight into his 25-year career, starting in technical his accidental fall into the insurance industry in 2003 after a previous role at BBC Radio Music New Media. He gained broad insurance experience through roles with Xchanging (later acquired by CSC and merged into DXC), the Corporation of Lloyd's, and as a managing agent in the London Market.Andy shares the journey to launching Send alongside his two co-founders, to scratch the proverbial “entrepreneurial itch” in 2018. All with backgrounds as software developers, the initial focus of the platform was on data and integration. Send launched with its first customer in 2019.With clients across the London Market and in the US, the platform provides a variety of benefits. Andy highlights how Send helps bring insurance technology into the modern era, helping clients make better underwriting decisions by understanding the portfolio impact of individual submissions, improve operational efficiencies by automating digital paperwork and unstructured data management, and ensure compliance with rules and regulations.He discusses their business growth, particularly in the US market, noting the larger scale and different go-to-market approach compared to the concentrated London Market. Despite the differences, Andy emphasizes the common challenges in underwriting across both regions. Looking ahead at the next five years, Andy shares a "techie's angle" on evolution within the insurance market. He sees a continued drive to apply automation to increasingly complex product lines, building on the success of digital underwriting for simpler products. Andy discusses the rise of AI and the increasing use of data in underwriting, stressing the importance of 'operationalizing' and integrating new data sources and AI tools within the underwriting workflow to avoid creating more disconnected systems. With around 20% of Send's 100-strong team having a background in insurance, Andy stresses that while insurance knowledge is valuable, they also value the diversity of backgrounds and different perspectives that employees bring. Andy uses the phrase "knowing the art of the possible" to describe the key combination of insurance expertise and technological understanding needed in the insurtech space.He advises insurance executives considering a move to insurtech to recognize the value they already add, particularly those focused on data, process, and automation opportunities. He suggests reflecting on their current skills and job functions and mapping that onto the requirements of insurtech roles, as well as networking at industry events. As closing advice, Andy urges people to "just get involved" in technology initiatives within the insurance industry to improve outcomes.

  The rapid pace of technological change continues to reshape industries, forcing businesses to rethink their IT strategies, embrace automation, and harness AI to stay competitive. But with so many moving parts—legacy systems, cybersecurity risks, and increasing demands for performance—how can enterprises successfully modernize without disrupting mission-critical operations? In today's episode, the conversation takes place live from Dynatrace Perform in Las Vegas, where the focus is on AI-driven transformation, digital twins, and the future of IT services. Howard Boville, Executive Vice President at DXC, shares how the company is helping enterprises modernize applications, optimize cloud environments, and use AI to drive efficiency and scalability. With a global team of 50,000 engineers, DXC is at the forefront of enabling businesses to navigate complexity while maximizing operational performance. A key part of this transformation is DXC's long-standing partnership with Dynatrace, which spans 15 years. Howard explains how observability plays a pivotal role in ensuring seamless application performance and IT operations. With thousands of interconnected applications running on intricate infrastructure, gaining real-time insights is critical for predicting outages before they happen. The discussion explores how AI-powered observability is preventing IT failures, improving customer experiences, and enabling businesses to transition from reactive to proactive problem-solving. Another major theme is the rise of digital twins—real-time virtual models that help businesses optimize their technology ecosystems. Originally developed in manufacturing to simulate production lines, digital twins are now being used to map out entire IT environments. Howard discusses how DXC and Dynatrace are bringing this concept into enterprise IT, allowing companies to model the impact of AI, streamline cloud migrations, and maximize return on investment. The conversation also touches on the growing concerns around cybersecurity and quantum computing. As the industry approaches a new era of quantum capabilities, encryption methods once considered secure will soon be vulnerable. Howard explains why businesses need to start preparing for this shift now, rather than waiting for a crisis to emerge. With AI playing a bigger role in IT services, the discussion also explores how DXC is leveraging automation to drive operational improvements while ensuring human expertise remains central to decision-making. Howard shares insights on how businesses can balance innovation with risk management, optimize costs, and make AI work for them rather than against them. As enterprises navigate digital transformation, the question remains: how can they ensure their IT investments deliver measurable business outcomes? What role will AI, observability, and cybersecurity play in shaping the future of enterprise technology? And with quantum computing on the horizon, how can businesses prepare for the seismic shifts ahead? Join the discussion for a thought-provoking look at the future of IT and the evolving role of AI in enterprise modernization. What are your thoughts on AI's impact on IT services? Let's continue the conversation.

Explore DXC's journey with AWS Prototyping to harness the power of Amazon CodeWhisperer to enhance developer productivity while conforming to DXC's coding standards.

La disponibilidad de terrenos y energía, la eficiencia, la sostenibilidad y la seguridad son los criterios por los que Amazon Web Services ha llevado a multiplicar por seis sus inversiones en Aragón, y que está teniendo ya repercusiones en empresas locales y globales.  Un día después del gran anuncio del gigante tecnológico, con una inversión de 15.700 millones en 10 años en sus centros de datos en Aragón,  la directora general de AWS en España y Portugal, Suzana Curic, ponía ejemplos de lo que supone este motor para otras empresas, como "Hiberus, que tienen 3.000 empleados, y ahora están contratando 200 más, o Levitec que también está aumentando plantilla o socios de integración, como de DXC, que planea inversiones", señalaba en La Rebotica. Por los micrófonos de La Rebotica también ha pasado el presidente de Aragón, Jorge Azcón, que apuntaba que "estos centros de datos que anunciamos ahora son mucho más sostenibles que los centros de datos que se implantaron en Aragón en el pasado y consumen mucha menos agua que los que se implantaron en el pasado, porque la tecnología que tiene que ver con los chips y con la IA evoluciona a una velocidad que en muchas ocasiones no somos capaces ni de comprender".

What is intrapreneurship, and how can it help you or your employees to promote innovation within your organisation? What is the value of generalist skills and knowledge when considering executive positions? Why is it so important to establish a personal brand and network prior to leaving the corporate environment to pursue your own industry ambitions? In this episode, we're thrilled to be speaking with Caroline Bedford, Chief Executive at EDII! With a background in the technology sector, Caroline undertook a career in insurance, working in various exciting roles before departing the corporate world to build her own business. In conversation with Sandra Lewin, she highlights the key values underpinning good leadership, emphasising the importance of promoting innovation at every level of a business in order to sustain growth and talent retention.   Quote of the Episode “With the intrapreneurial roles, you know, it's in company's interest to be able to cultivate those kinds of passions and capabilities in their staff, and to really nurture that. I don't see any specific job applications from organisations seeking to employ an ‘intrapreneur'. However, I do now see that in terms of people's development programmes, creativity, authenticity, curiosity. Those types of mindset and behaviours are now being welcomed, and expected in many cases. Those are all attributes that people who work for organisations can also share with entrepreneurs who, who work for themselves and take the risks that are associated with that.” Intrapreneurship refers to the application of entrepreneurial skills to promote growth within one's organisation. Caroline asserts that developing these skills is a key way of building up your reputation within your organisation, thereby establishing valuable connections which you will retain if and when you move elsewhere. Furthermore, she argues that fostering these skills within one's employees can facilitate talent retention. A key demographic of talented employees who leave the insurance sector every year is women in their 30s-40s. Caroline argues that this is fuelled by companies failing to allow these employees to creatively innovate in order to solve real problems. It is crucial to invest in your staff at all levels and ages, and give them an outlet with which to apply their unique skills, thereby achieving personal growth and developing the business simultaneously.   Key Takeaways Caroline highlights the value of generalist knowledge at all levels of the insurance industry. Upon leaving school, she joined the technology sector, and ultimately chose insurance to practice that specialism. Consequently, she brought a wealth of external knowledge and skills to the industry that has fuelled her individual growth and that of the firms she has worked for. Additionally, she notes that having external skills and expertise provides an excellent foundation for entering executive positions. Today's CEO requires an understanding of the broader business environment in which they are operating, with generalist capabilities ranging from business development, operations, strategy, deliverables, product development, and more. For Caroline, as a business owner it is crucial to prioritise one's staff above all else. A key tenet of leadership is the capacity to motivate and inspire people even when the chips are down; to work through challenges and frustrations whilst recognising that you are ultimately responsible for the livelihoods of your team. Caroline recalls ‘Don't wait till you need a network to build one' as the best piece of advice she has ever received. You need connections, especially when transitioning from one role to another, or from a corporate environment to your own business, who can support you and verify your credibility. Before departing the comfort zone of the corporate world, it is crucial to establish your personal brand. Many of your industry connections will likely be a product of the brand with which you are affiliated. Once this recognisable credibility is gone, many of these connections could be severed. As such, you must invest in your individual brand in addition to that afforded by your corporate employment. It is ultimately the value others see in your personal name that will secure you future opportunities or investment. LinkedIn can be a fantastic tool for building a community and demonstrating the unique value you can bring to a business, or the industry at large. However, it must be approached as a two-way street. You shouldn't simply put information about your personal triumphs out there; you must also engage in what your connections are doing, and participate appropriately in conversations and debates. In using this platform in a consistent, engaged, and authentic manner, people will soon recognise your individual value, which will be instrumental in developing your personal brand.   Best Moments/Key Quotes That's a great thing about insurance – there are lots and lots of opportunities. You don't just find yourself in an organisation and stuck in the role that you joined in. If you exhibit talent, passion, and skill, and capability, then there will be opportunities there for you. Throughout my career, I have worked for technology companies, I have worked for insurers. And I was part of the acquisition team when DXC was acquiring Xchanging a few years ago.”   “One of my specialist passions is the rise of the generalist. This is something that's really helped propel me through my career. Once I recognised the value that comes with having those generalist capabilities, it kind of freed me from some of the sort of anchors that held me back in the past where I felt that to be able to succeed, you needed to have deep specialisms in one specific area. Since I did research and have started to really take, ironically, a deep dive into the role of the generalist, that kind of led me to understand firstly, the type of capabilities that everybody in industry needs now is no longer just that vertical career path, but also the horizontal. It also stood me in good stead for the role of a CEO.”   “People will often engage you because of that big name, [but] if you wish to then go out on your own, you have lost that Golden Shield that is going to make people gravitate towards you. So even when you work for that big name, it's important that people see you as Caroline or Sandra, or whoever you may be.”   Resources Caroline Bedford – Fifty Over Fifty: https://fiftyoverfifty.org.uk/list/caroline-bedford-edii/ The Rise of the Generalist: Caroline Bedford speaks at The Women In Tech Conference 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftAmGzKmj3s&ab_channel=EDIIGroup   About the Guest Caroline Bedford is the Chief Executive of EDII, home of Digital Minds, helping insurance and business professionals understand how innovation, design and entrepreneurship can help to futureproof their work.

Michael Quartey and Lukas Bruell, founder and co-founder of Eczodex, join the show this week to riff on how Eczodex is enabling investors to unlock more returns with traditional investments through DeFi (decentralized finance). This episode of MoneyNeverSleeps is sponsored by Philip Lee, one of Ireland's fastest-growing corporate law firms and expert advisors at the heart of the Dublin and London start-up, fintech and crypto communities. Eczodex are the ninth of the founding teams forming the Launchpool Web3 Techstars Accelerator Class of 2022 that we've got on the show in the lead-in to Demo Day in Dublin on June 30th. In this episode, Michael Quartey and Lukas Bruell talk with Pete Townsend and Eoin Fitzgerald about: – How their backgrounds uniquely prepared them to bring Eczodex to life – How Eczodex will bridge real-world assets into DeFi – Enabling yield enhancement strategies for real-world investor – Connecting the Eczodex vision with the realities of the crypto markets – Breaking down the problem for individual investors HIGHLIGHTS: Michael Quartey on the intersection of experiences that led him to the Eczodex idea: “I always was an entrepreneur at heart. I always had this ambition of not wanting to make my way up the corporate ladder. I always wanted to do something. So even a couple of years into my graduate job [with CSC Financial Services, now DXC], I was thinking of ways in which to build a business. At the time, it was an eCommerce startup that I was working on with my brother. “And similarly to now, the market crashed, and then we had the dot.com bust. We weren't as far advanced as we are with Eczodex right now, so at the time, my brother and I decided to stop. That led me into contracting and I built on the skills I had learned through CSC to work for over 20-plus years in the financial services space. “Once I understood what was going on with decentralized finance, I had this epiphany where I realized how much better the infrastructure could be, how much more efficiently things could run using all of the innovation of blockchain technology and decentralized finance. That's one of the sources of inspiration behind Eczodex. “The other [source of inspiration] is just down to my own inadequacies as an investor, specifically with stocks. Over the years I've experienced the highs and lows of investing, and that was another spark behind this idea of trying to find a better way to invest in products with more predictable return patterns. “Once I realized that there were many crypto projects also trying to address similar issues around risk and volatility, I started reading their whitepapers. I realized that not only are there other people trying to solve similar problems but there's all this amazing innovation going on. Why not look at this space more closely and try to build something here?” Lukas Bruell on his entry point into entrepreneurship and meeting Michael Quartey at the University of Cambridge: “I wanted to build a venture and gained my first experience by setting up a research venture with my roommate helping students understand what's happening in financial markets. Planning that as a business, we just literally aimed to solve a problem. We did that by concisely publishing reports about M&A deals and found that we helped a lot of people. “That was the first time where I realized there is an incredible opportunity to solve problems out there and there's nothing more exciting than doing that. “I then realized that I wanted to be an entrepreneur for sure. When I got to Cambridge, I saw the incredibly powerful nature of crypto to an even greater level. I was interested in crypto for a while, I was reading about it, and investing in crypto a bit, but I certainly wasn't involved in building ventures in crypto. “But then I met Michael, and he had an initial draft of the Eczodex solution, and I also met a lot of people in the Blockchain Club in Cambridge. That's when I started to dig deeper and deeper, went dow...

Retired Navy Captain and former corporate CEO Bill Toti joins Tim to talk about life and work after military service, particularly for leaders. You may remember Bill from two of our episodes on the story behind 9/11. He was in the Pentagon when the planes hit. In this episode, Bill talks about a new book he wrote that's all designed to help military leaders find their place in leadership of society. The book is called, “From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership.” https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Bill_Toti_Final_auphonic.mp3 Captain Bill Toti served for more than 26 years on active duty in the U.S. Navy. He went from being an enlisted seaman to becoming the commanding officer of a nuclear submarine called the USS Indianapolis. And then he became the commodore of a Submarine Squadron. After that, he served for over nine years at the Pentagon, serving in the office of the Vice Chief of Naval Operations, and also as Navy representative to the Joint Requirements Oversight Council. He was deputy director of the Navy War Plans Cell called Deep Blue. And as I mentioned, he had a critical role on September 11th 2001 when a hijacked American Airlines jet slammed into the Pentagon. If you want to hear that story, go to our full episode catalogue at Shaping Opinion.com and check out our 9/11 series from last year. After Bill retired from military service, he transitioned to the private sector, where he served in a number of roles at companies that included Raytheon, Hewlett-Packard, DXC and HPE.  He was president at a Cubic Corporation and at a company called L3 Maritime Systems. He then rose to serve as the CEO of Sparton Corporation. But before all of that, he had to figure out how to make the transition. That's our focus in this episode.

We need to be courageous enough to be who we are.”“What I've learned is we will never be fully satisfied until we find out who we are and allow that person to show up everywhere, even in the workplace.”“As women our tendency is to overlook our own value….

How can an industrial site make the right choice of private wireless network? Several varieties of private wireless networks are available – and there is also a choice of the types of provider that can deliver such a service. Our analysis of the sector has generated insight on the process facing a business or industrial site looking to make a decision on the best way to proceed. What types of private wireless coverage are available? Essentially, there are three options available to any commercial organization that is weighing up the desirability of private wireless: Local area: Ideal when there is a need for coverage around a particular site such as an airport, retail centre, industrial estate or mining operation.  Wide area: Companies such as tech logistic firms may need connectivity at their headquarters and distribution centers while also requiring coverage on a nationwide level.  Field area: Some firms need connectivity away from their base, but only in locations where they have assets. Examples include rail networks.  Overall, private networks are the best solution for industrial sites. However, there may be instances when it is economical to use a slice of a public network when it comes to wide area connectivity. In a smart city, for example, it may make sense to use a public network for non-urgent applications such as parking meter communication. Why is private wireless the best choice in local area instances? There are three reasons why this option is ideally suited for industrial sites: Familiarity: Such operations are used to effectively owning their local area networks. They are accustomed to having oversight of their connectivity and this allows them to continue doing that.  Performance: Many industrial sites are in non-urban areas, which results in less than optimal coverage. A dedicated local deployment designed to connect key elements of operational technology (OT) is ideal and will deliver the requisite levels of latency and capacity. Reliability: An essential consideration for OT critical applications. Even with dedicated small cells inside an industrial site, a connection to a public network tends to increase the latency.  What are the various types of supplier of private wireless networks? Interest in private wireless has grown significantly in the industrial sector in the last year or so. And, with more than 13 million industrial sites potentially requiring such an installation, the market place is becoming increasingly crowded. Several different genres of supplier exist: Telecom vendors: Private wireless is clearly an area of opportunity for such operations. Indeed, Nokia was one of the trend-setters in private wireless when it deployed networks for Rio Tinto at an open mine in Australia in 2015.  Mobile operators and CSPs: They have a lot to offer in this space. They have spectrum, expertise in managing 4G and 5G networks that people use every day, and good existing relationships with the enterprise space. They can also offer critical connectivity nationwide, and many have a dedicated business arm providing enterprise IT and system integration.  CSPs from the IT space: There are companies that effectively deploy a lot of edge cloud servers within enterprise. Our research shows there's a high degree of trust from enterprise in eco-system players, especially in areas such as mining and manufacturing where network connectivity is a key component of a complete end-to-end solution. IT players and system integrators: Firms such as Accenture or DXC can deliver private wireless solutions to customers. System integrators and consulting firms: They are interested in private wireless as a key enabler for related industries. Access to spectrum is a key private wireless network consideration Increasing numbers of countries are releasing spectrum that can be used for this purpose. France was one of the first, as were Germany, the UK and the US.  However, in markets that have not release vertical spectrum yet, organizations may have to work with a partner that can bring spectrum to the table. Mobile operators are an obvious example; Nokia, as part of its private wireless offering, has links with many spectrum owners.  There is also the option of using unlicensed spectrum. Wi-fi 5G uses a technology called multi-fire that allows the operation of LTE 4.9G and, while there may be a few limitations, users can still derive most of the benefits in security, mobility and capacity.  What types of architecture are available when creating a private wireless network? There are, effectively, three choices of main architecture available, with considerable variance between the options: Autonomous private wireless network: All functions, including the core, management and application, are deployed locally at the site. This is the version Nokia has been deploying since 2015. Private wireless as a service (pWaaS): Nokia was the first to offer this option, in which all parts of the core networks and the application are deployed locally but the management elements sit in the cloud or your own data center.  Core slicing: You have the minimum core elements and applications that you need locally, but the rest are run by a service provider in its own servers and cloud. This is the most economical option.  The choice of architecture depends strictly on the enterprise in question – there are no definitively good or bad options here. All organizations want the benefits of reliability, good coverage, multi-user capacity, low latency and security that private wireless networks provide, but each will have different strategies and numbers of sites, as well as varying levels of critical connectivity required.  All three options can serve those needs, but core slicing may be more suitable for the SME market, where firms are not willing to invest heavily in private wireless.  Telecom vendors are able to focus on the first two options, but some CSPs are looking at all three in the belief that they can offer a solution ideal for each segment of the market.  How will these three options develop as the private wireless market matures? In the last year, there has been increasing demand for pWaaS, particularly for industrial sites. This meets all the requirements without some of the complexity that an autonomous system can entail. It is a solution with a lower entry cost and easier access, which is easier to scale over time.  However, while pWaaS is likely to grow in size and demand among industrial sites, autonomous private wireless networks will remain the favorite option, especially among organizations with larger networks.  The option of having coverage within a site and while out and about remains highly attractive. It is customizable while offering additional capability and control. At the same time, core slicing may be a very attractive proposition for SMEs who want the benefits of private wireless networks but don't have the capability to manage it.  It will be fascinating to see how the market place develops in the years to come.

On this special edition of the Futurum Tech Podcast Interview Series, host Daniel Newman welcomed Faisal Siddiqi, Chief Technologist, Innovation and Ecosystems at DXC Technology and Chris Swan, CTO of Global Delivery at DXC Technology. In this episode, the two talked to Daniel about the current state of upskilling and technology in the workforce especially in the wake of COVID-19.   COVID-19 Pushing Digital Transformation Forward   Almost overnight, companies around the world have been forced to change how they work,  bringing in a lot of new technologies to help the business run efficiently. We are seeing a rapid digital transformation. What used to take years is taking weeks and months now because companies have no choice. But this is also leading to another revolution in the workplace.   At the World Economic Forum this year, it was predicted that we are on the cusp or a reskilling revolution. An estimated 1 billion people will need to be reskilled by 2030 for emerging technologies.   The shifts are already starting to happen in the workplace. From a service provider perspective, we are moving away from sending work to low-cost labor to sending it to software engineering while at the same time shifting from software engineering to machine learning and AI where we are training systems instead of programming systems.   The demand for machine assisted technology is on the rise. It's augmenting how we work and we need people to understand how this technology works in order to make it work in the enterprise. This technology is not replacing humans, it's requiring a new skillset.   Building the Foundation Today to Upskill Tomorrow   In most businesses, employees are required to have certain certifications or degrees to be able to work on certain technologies. Some businesses might require a certification to work with their cloud partner while others might require a certification to work on any cloud system in general.   But emerging technologies are starting to require a certain type of individual rather than a certification. It doesn't matter if their education comes from a certification or degree program or if they're self-taught from an open source community.   In the future, we will likely need both employees in the workplace. The employees who have degrees in the tech fields, but also the employees that seek new education. The ones who are constantly learning how to solve new problems.   New Kind of Training Program   With upskilling in mind, DXC Technology turned to a DevOps Dojo to train anybody. These problem-solving programs aren't focused on if employees know the material. It's about how they solve the problem. They can use whatever program they want to help them — Google, GitHub etc. It's an authentic, on-demand experience designed to help people understand the new material in whatever way works for them.   Great examples of this style training program are Katacoda and Microsoft Learn. These two are designed to help people not just learn the technology, but master it as well.   Open Source Upskilling   Open source communities are a great place to better oneself. The right community can offer the right kind of support no matter what level of education you have. It's open to everybody meaning it's a great way to seek collaborative input from a number of people and it's a game changer for so many businesses.   Open source is likely going to be the onramp to help people and companies move from legacy applications to the multi-cloud world. It's going to provide the support and training that employees need in order to be prepared for new technology.   The Future for DXC Technology   Chris shared that DXC is on the cusp of opening several modules from DevOps Dojo similar to the Katacoda training. Faisal shared that DXC has a few open source projects now available on the DXC GitHub like the newly released AI starter kit.   Beyond that, Faisal discussed the importance of taking the foundation of open source software technology development and applying it to the culture of the enterprise to become better collaborative citizens. It's clear that work is changing and building a better collaborative environment will prepare us for the future.   If you'd like to learn more about what DXC Technology is doing visit their website and be sure to listen to the full episode.
