Status Review Ian Mallery Marlborough & ECPG Page 5
LMA ECF Objective • To replicate today’s file electronically • Not a Blue Sky Claims System development • Based on existing products • Changes to CLASS out of scope (except look and feel) • Work with underlying software capabilities • Provide a base product on day 1 • To be evolved once experience gained • Post implementation of base product • Strategic review of on-going development • e.g. Third Party Access Page 6
Status todayKey Enhancements in 5 Phases Phase 1 - See all documents in one view Phase 2 - Leader control of file/improved searching Phase 3 - ACORD DRI (receipt of documents) Completed 2005 Phases 4/5 – Merged into a single phase CLASS @ Lloyd’s data through GUI, full DRI and Seamless link with documents in repository MAT starts 15 May 2006 (38 days to go!) Live – mid-September Page 7
Screen shot – Transaction Summary Screen Page 9 Screens are currently under development and are subject to change
Work Completed Since November 2005 • Finalised initial change requests (Big Issue /DRI etc) • Minimum System Standards – Sent to Compliance and IT Directors • Convened Technical Implementation Group to advise on ACORD standards • Review legal governance of electronic claims • Interchange Agreement • Initiated Legal Review of Electronic Responses Page 10
Systems Processes & Procedures • Systems Processes and Procedures • High-level guide • NOT a systems user manual or adjusting manual • Workshops convened to review generic process and class of business variations • Confirmed generic process • Confirmed little variation by class of business • A key benefit was to identify the following operational issues: Page 11

Binders & ECF • Binder characteristics: • Losses within Delegated Authority • say £25k, reported via periodic bordereau • Losses above DA but below Market Reporting Threshold (£100,000) • require separate file but accounted via bordereau • Individual losses above DA & Market Threshold • require individual file & financials cross referenced with the bordereau Page 13

Features • Broker submits claim electronically • Enables parallel presentation to insurers • Reduces data transcription errors • Allow brokers to concentrate on complex claims • Improved insurer access to information • It’s the insurers’ file • Concurrent access to all subscribing insurers • 24/7 access, worldwide Page 16
Next Steps • Phase 5 delivery to MAT mid-May 2006 • Delivers first version • of an integrated electronic claims service for Lloyd’s • replicating existing file electronically • with improvements where possible • companies and syndicates can see the same claim • Things change and we won’t have thought of everything • There will be more issues and enhancements • Legacy claims • Issues recorded Page 17
A Broker’s View Chris Reay Willis Page 18
A Broker’s View • Mid-Sept launch date is not too far away now! • 4 brokers publicly committed to supporting this initiative • Aon, Benfield, Marsh, JLT; • making up approx. 35% premium income* (Lloyd’s) • 38 days to Market Acceptance testing • Benfield • Guy Carpenter • Marsh • Miller • Willis Page 19 * Source: Lloyd’s Capital & Broker Relationships
Highlights • Valuable lessons continue to be learnt from early implementers • 39 ECF partnerships created • 6 brokers/17 managing agents, 2 companies – experience gathers pace • Over 360 claims files • Generating over 600 transactions electronically to date • IUA Companies now actively participating in pilots – adding to the ground swell • LMBC working closely with MRPO to ensure success of project • Initial feedback from Lloyd’s Brokers has been positive – further follow ups / presentations planned for April / May Page 20
Issues to consider • Will there be sufficient number of market claims practitioners trained and ready to go live? • Process issues arising from early implementations will restrict certain business classes / placing processes • This is a significant cultural shift in how the London market will operate – are we really ready for it? • The market continues to work together to resolve them • This is the 1st major step along a new path Page 21
Looking to the future • The infrastructure has been proven – we’ve got a good base • Essential enhancements scoped and included in the continual development plan • Electronic claims servicing is a realistic tool for the London market • So let’s do away with the luggage and stop walking paper around these streets!

Project Funding & Governance Martin Dyer St. Paul Travelers & SDG Page 23
The Role of the SDG • SDG reports to LMA Market Processes Committee (MPC) • Responsible for delivery of CLASS at Lloyd’s / ECF on behalf of Project fund providers (LMA Members) • Tracks XIS performance against plans / budgets • Manages changes to scope through Change Request Process • Ensures Managing Agents are appropriately involved / informed • Participates in Market Claims Infrastructure Project Board Page 24
Time and Budget Summary • On track for software delivery to process electronic claims across the Lloyd’s market • No change to agreed USM & SCM surcharges • Early implementation partnerships growing • Substantial market testing and implementation tasks this year • Will change working practices from paper to electronic for many claims practitioners • Will not deliver everything on day one - need on-going maintenance and review of Change Request log Page 25
Impact on Budget • No changes to original funding arrangements • 2006 surcharges: • 34p USM & SCM for Repository running costs – reduction from 2005 • 19p SCM for CLASS at Lloyd’s running costs • 25p SCM from January 2006 for repository development • CLASS at Lloyd’s development (£597k) in three instalments • Budget Position to the end of 2005 • Implementation, Infrastructure and Running costs £1,546,663 • Change Requests £ 365,000 • Total charges incurred £1,911,663 • Revenue from surcharges and other licence charges £2,786,259 • Surplus carried forward to 2006 £ 874,596 • CLASS running costs waived for 2005 • The project remains on budget Page 26
Future • Operational electronic claims by end 2006 for brokers, Lloyd’s & IUA • Roll out for processing new claims will continue into 2007 • Increasing pressure on any non participants • This is just the “Base Camp” - foundation to: • Migrate to ACORD business messages for claims • Eliminate CLASS differences across the multiple systems • Enable third party access e.g. loss adjusters • Move existing claims from paper to electronic • Offer client tracking of claims Page 27
ECF & Market Reform Andy Brookes Market Reform Programme Office Page 28
ECF: Key part of the London process reform programme • Overall aim: • A framework of standards for business processes that enables firms to deliver services efficiently to customers at a cost and level of risk comparable with other platforms • Note: • Any costs inherent in a subscription market must be offset to deliver this comparability. • Any changes in business process must be managed in such a way as to avoid undermining the unique qualities/competitive advantages of the London Market. Page 29
ECF is not happening in isolation • Claims beyond ECF • Change requests – no system stays put • Claims infrastructure to include IUA • Protocols (LMP2001); Lloyd’s Claims Scheme • Support Claims Strategy & Minimum Standards • Integration with other reform workstreams • Accounting & Settlement • Contract Certainty Page 30
Integration with other workstreams • Accounting and Settlement • Measurement checks; A&S repository; A&S strategy for P2P • Repository use • London market use of ACORD DRI Standards • P2P A&S: strategy questions for claims • Contract Certainty • More certain contracts = fewer coverage disputes • Roles & responsibilities clearly defined • Repositories….again (e.g. model wordings) Page 31
Implementation approach • Lead implementers • Prepare to follow: • Commercial • Lloyd’s performance standards • Regulatory better MI pressure • Sponsors; project managers Page 32
Questions & Close Carl Phillips Amlin Page 33
Access • Can you access the internet from your desktop? • Are you familiar with looking at messages, data and information? • On your Personal drives or My Documents? • On Shared or Network Drives? • On websites? • The Insurers’ Market Repository is just another folder of documents • but market wide • 24/7 access from anywhere • Home, overseas, or even in the office • controlled by CLASS security access Page 34
What should YOU do now? • Assess and plan for the impact on you • How many adjusters have you got? • How many will need access to this system? • Can you connect to these new services? • Who will be responsible for implementing in your agency? • How will you ensure they are trained in CLASS and the repository? • Are you as a leader prepared for the change of responsibility for controlling the file? Page 35
