Insurance companies have always been data centric businesses. Disruption is the new normal as digital native insurance companies gain traction in the market. One challenge facing all property and casualty insurers is the many forms of fraud that raise premium prices. The FBI estimates that around $40 Billion is lost annually* to fraud related to property and casualty insurance. Capturing events in real time and looking through an event driven lens can dramatically impact one's ability to detect and remediate fraud.

Apache Kafka® is recognized as the world’s leading real-time, fault-tolerant, highly-scalable event streaming platform. It is adopted across thousands of companies worldwide to collect different types of events - member profile updates, claim submissions, etc. -  into Kafka in real-time. This architecture enables applications, data platforms and organizations to react to events in real-time. This can improve customer experience, drive revenue and reduce costs across the business.

In this talk, we’ll discuss the power of events to reimagine your data and how to achieve digital transformation with Apache Kafka and Confluent, in either a self-managed or fully-managed cloud offering. We’ll also look at different types of insurance fraud and how real time event streaming can enable different approaches to reducing them.

Multi-Cloud: Kafka Everywhere

As a fully managed service available in the biggest cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Confluent Cloud can be self-serve and is deployable within seconds. This session will discuss and illustrate and you can easily point your client applications at Confluent Cloud, and the rest is taken care of: load is automatically distributed across brokers, consumer groups automatically rebalance when a consumer is added or removed, the state stores used by applications using the Kafka Streams APIs are automatically backed up to Confluent Cloud with changelog topics, and failures are automatically mitigated. Confluent Cloud abstracts away the details of operating the platform—no more choosing instance types, storage options, network optimizations, and number of nodes. It is as elastic as your workload, and you pay only for the resources that you use. In true serverless fashion, you just need to understand your data requirements.

Bridge to Cloud: Confluent Platform to Confluent Cloud (Episode 2: Cloud Series)

Last year, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) adopted a new strategy to accelerate our transition to a digital business model. This eProcessing strategy connects previously siloed technology systems to provide a complete digital experience that will shorten decision timelines, increase transparency, and more efficiently handle the 8 million requests for immigration benefits the agency receives each year.

To pursue this strategy effectively, we had to rethink and overhaul our IT landscape, one that has much in common with those other large enterprises in both the public and private sectors. We had to move away from antiquated ETL processes and overnight batch processing. And we needed to move away from the jumble of ESB, message queues, and spaghetti-stringed direct connections that were used for interservice communication.

Today, eProcessing is powered by real-time event streaming with Apache Kafka and Confluent Platform. We are building out our data mesh with microservices, CDC, and an event-driven architecture. This common core platform has reduced the cognitive load on development teams, who can now spend more time on delivering quality code and new features, less on DevSecOps and infrastructure activities. As teams have started to align around this platform, a culture of reusability has grown. We’ve seen a reduction in duplication of effort -- in some cases by up to 50% -- across the organization from case management to risk and fraud.

How USCIS Powered a Digital Transition to eProcessing with Kafka

Episode 1 of the Legacy Modernization Forum Series

In the face of heightened demands for greater scalability, improved resiliency and continuous stream processing, traditional messaging and legacy architectures are being disrupted by real-time event streaming and its ability to meet these new demands.

Join us for an interactive discussion to explore Apache Kafka, the foundation of Confluent Cloud and Confluent Platform, and compare it to traditional messaging queues.

Evolving from Messaging to Event Streaming (Ep 1: Legacy Modernization Series)

The Oak Ridge Leadership Facility (OLCF) in the National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) houses world-class high-performance computing (HPC) resources and has a history of operating top-ranked supercomputers on the TOP500 list, including the world's current fastest, Summit, an IBM AC922 machine with a peak of 200 petaFLOPS. With the exascale era rapidly approaching, the need for a robust and scalable big data platform for operations data is more important than ever. In the past when a new HPC resource was added to the facility, pipelines from data sources spanned multiple data sinks which oftentimes resulted in data silos, slow operational data onboarding, and non-scalable data pipelines for batch processing. Using Apache Kafka as the message bus of the division's new big data platform has allowed for easier decoupling of scalable data pipelines, faster data onboarding, and stream processing with the goal to continuously improve insight into the HPC resources and their supporting systems. This talk will focus on the NCCS division's transition to Apache Kafka over the past few years to enhance the OLCF's current capabilities and prepare for Frontier, OLCF's future exascale system; including the development and deployment of a full big data platform in a Kubernetes environment from both a technical and cultural shift perspective. This talk will also cover the mission of the OLCF, the operational data insights related to high-performance computing that the organization strives for, and several use-cases that exist in production today.

Enabling Insight to Support World-Class Supercomputing

The banking and financial services industries are under pressure to adapt to supporting real-time payments along with new and updated standards like ISO 20022, RTP and FedNow. There are common challenges for banks looking to modernize their legacy payment systems in order to handle real-time payments. These challenges require firms to re-evaluate the tools in their toolbox and build a more modern, flexible and scalable payment system without a big-bang rip and replace.

Intelligence, the logic of encoding, decoding and transforming payment types and formats, and orchestrating interactions with bank systems, so that massive payment volumes can be processed with sub-second SLAs. The systems should be flexible to model processes that may be unique to every organization and to facilitate the building of value-added payment services.

The delivery system needs to be able to reliably move data from multiple channels and multiple technologies (files, RDBMS, message queues etc) into and out of the Brains of the Operation to process real-time payments and integrate systems across the bank. The platform needs to be secure, scalable and 100% reliable by design - The Central Nervous System – Confluent, Kafka.

The Race to Real-Time: Real-Time Payments and Event Streaming

As part of our Confluent Industry Series, we are excited to invite you to join the Retail Forum. In this era of omni-channel retail, consumers are creating more data than ever before. For a retailer, real-time streaming data across the business can help drive insights into customer behaviors and improve business outcomes.

The future of retail is data, and that future requires the ability to process and use data events in real time. The essence of this effort is event streaming, the continuous, centralized processing of data so it can be used to trigger all kinds of events in real time.

In this session industry luminary and author Kai Waehner will share real-world use cases and architectures from Walmart and other enterprises to improve the Supply Chain Management (SCM) optimization along with industry insights, use cases and share best practices. Confluent delivers an event streaming platform that helps retailers connect all their data in real time.
