Shop Talk Community Podcast – Neil Betteridge

The seventh in our series of Shop Talk Community podcasts features Neil Betteridge, Vice President of Strategy at Guidewire Software, speaking with George Grieve, author of the Shop Talk column for Tech Decisions magazine.

Betteridge and Grieve discuss the insurance software market and the challenges and opportunities insurers face. They speculate on the “next big thing” that will come from core system vendors in the coming years, deliberate on how to improve the RFI/RFP process, and examine the pitfalls of implementation projects.
