Windows Azure, Cloud Computing, and the Insurance Value Chain

Curious how ISV insurance partners can leverage Windows Azure to run parts of their business? Software as a Service and Cloud Computing represent new opportunities for the Financial Services industry, and in this webcast, we show customers how they can quickly adopt new business capabilities with minimal to no hardware and software investments. In this webcast, I walk through the tenants of Windows Azure, and then in 15 minutes I demonstrate the technology by building an Insurance Policy service from scratch, deploy it and run it from the cloud. A soup-to-nuts policy service. By following the example, customers and partners can quickly see how they can leverage Windows Azure to build and host their insurance assets, leveraging all of the benefits of the cloud such as "infrastructure on demand". This webcast starts out discussing cloud + insurance strategy, but it quickly turns technical and dives into a detailed code example.
