5 5 Benefits of moving to one System  Reduces duplicated processing and interface costs across segment  We gain consistency from shared business processes and best practices  We can leverage our investment in system development across segment  Enables us to respond faster to changing business needs  Improves data quality and transparency for consistent common reporting  Improves auditing efficiencies across the segment: Sarbanes-Oxley, FSA, etc.  Reduces paper processing  Allows for personnel realignment from redundant processing procedures to more business focused analysis and special project work

6 6 Initial Planning  Executive buy-in (awareness to opportunities & industry involvement)  Commitment to ACORD Standards as the foundation – Structured Data  One In-House system  5 Year Plan structured for continuous and real time review throughout  Budget  Communication  Strong Governance structure aligned to Executive Management, engaging key Business and IT working teams with global involvement

7 7 Implementation Issues  Pressure on the Business  User expectations  Enforcing change  Global implementation - different cultures and the time differences  Missing Functionality  Existing data quality  Budget

8 8 XL Re 2009 and beyond  One system: changes are agreed by global teams and implemented once  ACORD messages worldwide, leveraging Xchanging’s services where available or direct with our business partners  Actively reduce paper process and documentation where redundant  Improve cash flow  We will not have to rely on a third party vendor, which means we can develop at the pace we choose  Management information is more consistent, easier to analyse and report upon, and more transparent for internal, external and client facing activities

Xchanging summary #1 Programme in place for nearly 2 years ACORD capability currently limited to LIRMA & Lloyd’s ILU & Brokers investment in negotiation Lessons learned: This is a change, a culture change merging best of London with global processing to eliminate “Londonisms” e.g. Deferred scheme, multi currency claims You can rarely do enough testing With XL Re, we ran months of claims data files –12,000+ ACORD claim movement files processed Business cases count, not technical theory. Changes impact everyone e.g. “sum insured” now reported as “contract limit”
