Die Themen im heutigen Versicherungsfunk Update sind: Vergleichsportale legen deutlich zu – Maklervertrieb bleibt stabil Laut dem „Kundenmonitor e-Assekuranz 2024“ von Sirius Campus stieg die Akzeptanz von Vergleichsportalen als Abschlussweg für Versicherungen deutlich an – auf nun 39 %. Auch die Nutzung zur Information legte spürbar zu. Klassische Vertriebswege wie Banken und Vertreter verlieren hingegen weiter an Zustimmung. Der Maklervertrieb hält sich stabil bei 51 % Akzeptanz. Finanz Informatik und IBM verlängern Partnerschaft Die Finanz Informatik (FI), IT-Dienstleister der Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, setzt ihre langjährige Zusammenarbeit mit IBM fort. Ein neuer Vertrag sichert den Einsatz modernster IBM-Technologien – darunter KI, Automatisierung und Hybrid-Cloud – für die weitere Digitalisierung und Resilienz der Sparkassen. Ziel ist eine effizientere Servicebereitstellung, mehr Cyber-Sicherheit und zukunftsfähige IT-Infrastruktur. Die Kooperation soll zudem die Umsetzung der Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) stärken. HDI Deutschland: Führungswechsel bei Finanzvertrieben/Pools Oliver-Alexander Elter übernimmt zum 1. Juli die Leitung des Bereichs Finanzvertriebe/Pools bei HDI Deutschland. Er folgt auf Tom Rohrbach, der das Unternehmen nach neun Jahren verlässt. Elter bringt umfangreiche Erfahrung aus dem Makler- und Kooperationsvertrieb mit und war zuletzt für den Angebotsservice Firmen Freie Berufe und die Direktbetreuung Makler verantwortlich.

Neben Führungen, Bewerbungstipps und einem Escape Game rund um Versicherungsfälle stehen aktuelle Azubis und Ausbilder Rede und Antwort. Eine Anmeldung ist erforderlich: lvm.de/tag-der-ausbildung BdV warnt: Kaskoschutz bei E-Autos oft lückenhaft Wer ein E-Auto fährt, sollte die Kaskoversicherung sorgfältig auswählen – darauf weist der Bund der Versicherten (BdV) hin. Besonders der Akku kann im Schadenfall hohe Kosten verursachen. Laut BdV-Expertin Bianka Bobell ist eine All-Risk-Deckung ratsam, die auch Tierbiss- und Kurzschlussfolgeschäden bis mindestens 20.000 EUR abdeckt. Ebenso wichtig: Neuwertentschädigung, Entsorgungskosten bei Totalschaden und Pannenhilfe bei leerem Akku. Auch Wallboxen sollten gegen Schäden und Diebstahl mitversichert sein. Die Leistungen variieren stark – ein Blick ins Kleingedruckte lohnt sich. Ein kostenloses Infoblatt hilft beim Tarifvergleich.

The healthcare industry has long been known for its cautious approach to technology, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced a dramatic shift. In this episode, Scott Charles from T-Systems (scott.charles@tsystems.com), and Brian O'Mahony from NetApp (omahony@netapp.com), break down how the healthcare sector has evolved in response to the pandemic and the role technology plays in this transformation.

As part of the IT Press Tour in Silicon Valley, I had the opportunity to sit down with David Flynn, CEO of Hammerspace, to explore how the company is redefining the future of enterprise data storage. At a time when AI-driven workloads and hybrid cloud computing are pushing storage demands to new heights, Hammerspace is stepping in with a fresh approach. Their Global Data Platform is designed to eliminate data silos, providing seamless access and orchestration for unstructured data across edge locations, data centers, and cloud environments. Hammerspace is experiencing a breakout year, with tenfold revenue growth driven by the surging demand for AI storage solutions and hybrid cloud infrastructure. The conversation delves into how the company is enabling enterprises to move beyond traditional storage limitations.  David explains the critical role of Parallel Network File System, or pNFS, in delivering high-performance storage solutions. We also discuss why it's gaining traction as organizations seek ways to process massive amounts of data with greater efficiency. Together, we explore the state of pNFS adoption, how Hammerspace is driving its evolution, and why it is a key pillar of its platform strategy. Another important aspect of the discussion is the difference between global namespaces and true data orchestration. While global namespaces have gained attention in enterprise storage, David explains why simply having a global namespace is not enough.  Orchestration is the missing piece that allows data to be moved, accessed, and utilized efficiently across distributed environments. By combining orchestration with a truly global namespace, Hammerspace is making data instantly accessible to users, applications, and compute clusters, no matter where they are located. As AI workloads become increasingly complex, the need for a new approach to data management is clear. Enterprises require storage solutions that can keep up with the demands of high-speed analytics, GPU-driven AI, and hybrid cloud strategies.  Hammerspace is positioning itself as a leader in this space, offering a way to bridge the gap between traditional storage architectures and the needs of modern enterprises. The company's rapid growth is also reflected in its recent leadership expansion. With a new Chief Revenue Officer joining the team and Hammerspace earning recognition as Product of the Year in TechTarget's Storage Awards, the company is making significant strides in shaping the future of enterprise data storage. With so much change happening in data infrastructure, what does the future hold for AI storage and enterprise data management? Will solutions like Hammerspace become the new industry standard for high-performance storage and orchestration?  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Reach out and share your perspective, and stay tuned for more insights from the front lines of technology.

Top 10 CEO Outlook 2025 series. Krishna shared with Cloud Wars Founder Bob Evans the company's optimistic outlook for 2025 amid geopolitical and economic uncertainties. They also discuss IBM's shift towards software, its AWS and Palo Alto Network partnerships, and how Red Hat has flourished since joining IBM.HighlightsIBM's Optimistic Outlook (01:18)Despite current geopolitical and economic uncertainties, Krishna remains optimistic about technology's role, especially in terms of automation and AI, in driving business transformations. He notes there's an increased appetite for technology globally, including in Europe, as a response to these uncertainties. Technology is a way to deliver better services at lower costs, which makes it an exciting time for the technology business.Focus on Delighting Clients (03:41)IBM exists to serve clients, focusing on delighting them through technology deployment and support. Krishna discusses the importance of taking risks to innovate and the need to cut bureaucracy and unnecessary processes. He emphasizes that partnerships should be win-win scenarios. "Can we expand the pie in which case we both win because the client is happier?"IBM's Shift to Software and Impact on Clients (06:36)There's been a significant shift in IBM's revenue mix, with software now accounting for almost half of IBM's revenue. Krishna explains that software's flexibility allows for incremental improvements, unlike hardware, which often require more disruptive changes. IBM focuses on software and providing unique value to clients in automation, hybrid cloud, data, and AI.Enterprise Adoption of Large Language Models (10:05)Krishna talks about the current state of enterprise understanding of large language models, or LLMs: "If I look at the enterprise understanding of large language models and what we can do for them, it's like we're in the first innings of a baseball game." Krishna advises enterprises to move forward in three steps: First, start with low-risk applications like customer experience functions such as answering service calls, as well as internal enterprise functions. Second, move to a little more risky but not totally risky use cases, like accounts receivable, procurement, and supply chain. Then, step three is applying LLMs to things like oncology and diagnosis in healthcare -- vertical-industry-specific functions. The excitement is more on step three, but customers should initially focus on the first two, where there's a lot of value.Leveraging Automation to Drive Innovation (15:04)All enterprises understand the importance of running lean and using productivity gains to focus resources on high-value activities. Krishna shares that IBM has freed up resources by automating tasks, allowing for more R&D to develop innovative products. He notes that overall employment has increased, but more focus is on high-value activities that enhance growth rates.Red Hat's Growth and Role in Hybrid Cloud (16:59)Red Hat has had impressive growth since joining IBM. Krishna says it has more than doubled its revenue since joining IBM in 2019, now exceeding $6 billion. He explains that Red Hat is the leading hybrid cloud platform, allowing for flexibility in deploying workloads across data centers and cloud environments.R&D as a Growth Engine (21:40)R&D should focus on innovation and quickly bringing those innovations to clients. R&D is about identifying unmet needs. "Henry Ford was asked like, how did you think of the Model T? And his answer was 'Look, if I had surveyed my customers, they would have said they wanted a stronger horse or a longer whip, but the automobile was the right answer.' Krishna mentions that quantum computing is a key area of focus for IBM in terms of research and development.The Benefits of Strategic Partnerships (24:56)IBM's strategic partnerships impact client value and IBM's growth. Krishna notes that half of IBM's consulting team's revenue now comes from these partnerships. He provides the example of IBM helping Delta Airlines move to AWS, while integrating Red Hat and other tools to enhance the client's experience. Krishna talks about a new partnership with security software provider Palo Alto Networks that's expected to generate significant pipeline for IBM's consulting team.Final Thoughts and Future Outlook (27:56)Krishna encourages clients to assign technology the same importance as other critical functions like finance and marketing. "Do you give tech the same importance that you give your CFO?" He reiterates the importance of technology and the need for businesses to adapt to its rapid pace of change. Evans closes by observing that in 2025, there's potential for the Cloud Wars Top 10 companies to exceed $10 trillion in combined market cap.
