One of the ambitious projects that has been in my mind for a long time is the creation and maintenance of a online forum where Insurance professionals across the globe could share their knowledge on various technical aspects of the subject as also development of a repository of reference materials frequently used by peers in the industry. Thanks to the proliferation of web-based tools, the internet caters to the requirements of this ambitious project and the knowledge and skills acquired by me over the past few years in the realm of Information Technology has given me enough confidence to endeavor upon this venture. After designing the basic framework, I approached friends, colleagues and others forming part of the insurance fraternity for comments including suggestions and criticisms aimed at improving the content and visibility. Though the initial response has not been very encouraging primarily owing to the busy schedules and other preoccupations. However, it is expected in the days to come that many well wishers would only be happy to offer their contributions in one way or the other to make this endeavor a real success. |
