In 2021, Allianz went into live production with a new solution to
settle international auto insurance claims involving its 25
subsidiaries in Europe. The blockchain-based solution based on
Hyper Ledger Fabric has already settled more than 1 million
transactions, automating a process that was painful and slow. In
this episode of Tech Insights, Allianz Chief Architect Bob
Crozier shares how his team went from an exploratory interest in
Ethereum smart contracts to "burning the ships" and retiring
their old settlements system to run entirely on an enterprise
blockchain platform. Also, hear Bob's thoughts on whether NFTs
need insurance. This episode is part of our CIO Priorities 2022
mini-series.

execute on the network of a mid-sized U.S.-based manufacturer. A
day-by-day account of what it’s like to discover ransomware, the

When the pandemic hit, Harvard Business School wanted its
students to have an equally rich education experience whether
they were physically in the classroom or connecting remotely. To
design the technology solution that would make it work, CIO
Elizabeth Clark participated in a multi-functional team that put
4K cameras, huge TV screens, and Zoom rooms to work and defined a
process that could be repeated in various classrooms. The
approach to hybrid collaboration was so successful that Harvard
is now adapting their conference rooms so operational staff can
see some of the same benefits. Hear how Elizabeth Clark is
reducing the friction of a hybrid operating model on this
episode, part of our mini-series to highlight Info-Tech's CIO
Priorities for 2022.

During the past year, workers have left their jobs at an
unprecedented rate. The mass migration has been dubbed 'The Great
Resignation' and it's shone a light on the importance of employee
retention. Especially in IT where there is already a shortage of
technical talent available on the market, companies should make a
serious effort to keep their workers engaged and productive. Jeff
Previte, the executive vice-president of IT at CrossCountry
Mortgage knows all about that. After joining the company in 2019,
he worked to address a high turnover rate. By implementing an
employee-first experience, he moved a 60% turnover rate to 10% in
just a few years time. On this episode of Tech Insights, he tells
us how to set priorities to keep your staff. We're also joined by
Info-Tech senior research analyst Nick Kozlo. This episode is
part of a mini-series for Info-Tech's CIO Priorities 2022 report.

David Dorman is no stranger to being in the captain’s chair amid
a crisis.
Previously the CEO at storied telecommunications firm AT&T,
Dorman shepherded the firm through the disruption to the industry
in the early 2000s. He repositioned the firm in a rapidly
modernizing environment and ultimately delivered on selling the
firm in 2005 for $16 billion.
Today Dorman is the chairman of CVS Health, a firm that owns a
network of retail locations within a 10-minute drive of 85% of
the U.S. population. The pharmacy has played a crucial role in
improving Americans’ collective health during the pandemic,
delivering more than 41 million COVID-19 tests and more than 50
million vaccines. In addition to its vaccine delivery program,
CVS Health has accelerated its digital initiatives to push out
services through mobile apps and websites. It further
integrated Aetna, a health insurance firm it acquired in 2019 and
launched a new virtual care platform with the brand. It also
furthered its corporate social responsibility strategy,
“Transform Health 2030” and took the lead in mandating vaccines
for its own frontline staff.
A special interview with CVS Health Chairman David Dorman, joined
by Info-Tech Research Group Research Fellow Ken McGee.
