  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) • No change to SCM, USM or LIMCLM • 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 / Leader Reserves Page 5

  8. Systems Processes & Procedures • Systems Processes and Procedures • High-level guide • NOT a systems user manual or adjusting manual • First time of publishing for the market • 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 operational issues Page 8

  9. Scope • Business or Claim Types that ECF has Never Been Required to Support: • Claims on unsigned risks • Claims Payable Abroad • General Average • Letters of Credit, loss reserves and Outstanding Cash Advance (OCAs) • Proportional treaties • Scheme Canada • Bulk Settlements • Direct Livestock Page 9

  10. Scope • Business or Claim Types excluded from the current implementation of ECF: • Delegated Lead to XCS (other than 100% Delegation, which is in scope) • Binding Authorities, Cover Collections and Other Bordereaux Claims • Political risks • Aviation verticals • Certain Multiple OSND claims • Third Party Access to ECF • Legacy paper claims files • However, solutions in progress Page 10

  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 11

  12. The Repository + CLASS model Page 12

  13. The Repository + CLASS model Page 13

  14. Binders & ECF • However, certain relationships are already implementing binders on ECF • This may produce a transferable model Page 14

  15. 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 • Business continuity Page 15

  16. ECF • 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 16

  17. MAT Issues & Sign off • Response times- Ongoing monitoring • Conflicts – Change Request raised • Deny Button – Future discussion at LMCG • All issues logged • Sought unanimous Managing Agent approval • Known issues relayed to SDG • Achieved ECF sign-off Page 17

  18. Next Steps • November Release – Patches for faults raised in MAT • February 2007 – Delivery of Key Change Requests • Review of all issues recorded during design • ECPG will continue until March 2007 • Contractual Framework Page 18

  19. Market Acceptance Testing Approach and Outcome Adam Stafford MRPO Page 19

  20. Timetable • Market involvement in approach through workshops Q1 2006 • ECPG agreement to MAT Plan, Strategy and Comms Plan March 2006 • Scripting, scheduling detailed planning April 2006 • Interactive Testing 15th May – 31st July 2006 • DRI Testing 1st August – 1st September 2006 • Disaster Recovery Tests 23rd – 25th August 2006 Page 20

  21. Testing Approach – Brief Overview • Identified a matrix of possible routes a claim can take (around 500) • Resulted in 67 scripts • After removal of duplicate and invalid routes • Each script extended to include Variations and Error Conditions • Each script tested by a different combination of Managing Agent and Broker (with XCS) • Tested End to End claims process from first advice to settlement with Brokers, Managing Agents, Followers and XCS • Ensured consistency of Systems Process and Procedures with operation of the System. Page 21

  22. Results • 66 Scripts Completed out of 67 Tested • One script was only 50% proven, with issues arising around conflict notification. • 262 Issues Raised; 243 Resolved • No open ‘Showstoppers’ remain, and all known issues will be resolved by February with some being fixed in November • Stability – during MAT some stability issues arose, these were fixed in early August • Performance – Contractual Requirements have largely been met but some Managing Agents have experienced slow responses. • LMA SDG took decision to go live based on positive presentation from ECPG. Page 22

  23. Thanks to all Participants in MAT: • Managing Agents • Ace, Amlin, Beazley, Danish Re, Faraday, Heritage, Hiscox, Limit, Markel, Marlborough, St Paul, Novae (SVB) & Wellington. • Brokers • Benfield, Guy Carpenter, Marsh, Miller & Willis • XCS Page 23

  24. Early Implementations Simon Collins MRPO Page 24

  25. Early Implementations • Implementation by Broker-driven trading partnerships • by classes of business and risks • with participating underwriters and XCS • MRPO monitoring progress • nearly 3 years • concurrent paper file • Using existing CLASS and repository Page 25

  26. Early Implementations • Benefits to Implementers • early experience of electronic work • assess impact on internal broker and carrier procedures and processes • input to system development through ECPG and BEFIT • Benefits to the project • identify problems and issues early • input to system and business process development Page 26

  27. Early Implementations • Current Volumes • 9 Brokers, 28 Managing Agents • 10 Classes of business • Over 1000 First Advices • Over 1600 claims movements • Ramp Up • Not “big bang” - managed uptake • Change in culture and processes • Shift from Broker-driven alert to an electronic advice • Build relationships to aid comfort • IUA Pilot Page 27

  28. How to get started • Read and understood SP&P • Who are you going to partner with initially? What classes of business? • Signed up to Contractual Framework • Logons, connection, training – Xchanging • Integration Testing • Register all partnerships with MRPO • Business procedure training with the CII • Start up procedures available on market reform website Page 28

  29. A Broker’s View Trevor Maddison Marsh and BEFIT Page 29

  30. ECF - A Broker’s View • Congratulations, the software is live and we are ready to trade. • Delivery in less than two years • A major slice of market reform delivered through partnerships proving brokers and carriers can work together to deliver real change. • The System Process & Procedure document a perfect example of collaboration. • One remaining broker issue to resolve concerning the Repository rules, end of September target to complete . • 5 brokers publicly committed to trading live, paperless claims. - Aon, Benfield, Guy Carp, Marsh, Cooper Gay - Approx 40pct* of market share new claims Page 30 * Source: Lloyd’s Capital & Broker Relationships

  31. ECF - A Broker’s View • IUA Companies now actively participating in pilots. It’s important the entire subscription market commits to ECF to be a true London market success. • The committed brokers need to work closely with their major markets to ensure there is a robust transition process in place. The first 6 months are critical to achieving successful trading and proving a point to all those doubters out there. • The LMBC/BEFIT need to ensure broker involvement is rapid. Underwriters may need to provide some gentle persuasion and encourage take up. • Lets make sure we don’t make ECF prohibitive via cost for the smaller brokers or by making the process over complicated that paper is the only answer. • There will be issues, lets work through these and look forward to providing a first class, paperless claims trading environment which London can be proud of. • New claims today, legacy tomorrow.

  39. Time and Budget Summary • Substantial market testing and implementation tasks completed this year • Completed software delivery to enable processing of electronic claims across the Lloyd’s market on time • Will not deliver everything on day one - need on-going maintenance and review of Change Request log • No change to agreed USM & SCM surcharges • Early implementation partnerships growing • Will change working practices from paper to electronic for many claims practitioners Page 39

  40. 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 to December 2006 for repository development • CLASS at Lloyd’s development (£597k) in three instalments • Budget Forecast to the end of 2006 • Implementation, Infrastructure and Running costs £5,266,912 • Change Requests                                                         £ 365,000 • Total charges incurred £5,631,912 • Revenue from surcharges and other licence charges £6,143,941 • Surplus carried forward to 2007 for enhancements £   512,029 • CLASS running costs waived for 2005 • The project remains on budget Page 40
