After years of trying to integrate modern electronic processing, the London market seems to have finally turned the corner. Following the announcement from RI3K on Monday abouts its new V3 system (see IJ Website Sept. 11), Xchanging the London-based business service provider, announced that it has completed “its four-year partnership project to safeguard and re-engineer the data processing systems of the Heath Lambert Group,” a leading U.K. independent insurance and reinsurance broker.

Heath Lambert’s deployment of Brokasure incorporates long-term service and support arrangements which are delivered from Xchanging’s data center in Basildon.

Heath Lambert’s Managing DirectorMike Bruce commented: “It was essential that we partnered with a company that could help us re-engineer our critical business systems, significantly reduce costs and risks, safeguard our data and create better value for our customers – all without compromising our daily operations.
