Working together to meet the challenges of e-Business.
Origo was launched by sixteen leading life assurance companies in June 1989 to facilitate the development of electronic trading between principals and agents for Life, Pensions and Collective Investment business.
It soon became clear that this would not be achieved merely by applying technology to the existing trading infrastructure. We quickly realised that profound change would be necessary to overcome the legacy of inefficient and costly business practices.
The implications of these changes for traditional organisations are enormous - not just in terms of electronic transmission, but also because they create a whole new basis for writing and accepting risk.
As new, non-traditional organisations enter the market, there is a limited window of opportunity for established businesses to safeguard and grow their market share. That is why all our efforts are currently dedicated to persuading our Sponsors and other industry practitioners of the economic merits of e-Business. now.
