LONDON, April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Xchanging, the business process, procurement and technology
services provider and integrator, has begun the roll out of free
Wi-Fi access in the City of
London.
The first installation at 34 Leadenhall Street will be followed
by installations at Lloyd's and the London Underwriting centre
later this year. Further locations will be added during 2013.
Xchanging is also considering hosting free Wi-Fi in other UK
insurance hub cities.
The service supports Xchanging's growing mobile applications for
the insurance market. However the Wi-Fi service is not password
protected and can be used by anyone.
Xchanging made a commitment to providing City Wi-Fi in February
this year at the launch of X-presso. This application allows claims
handlers and insurers to view and use claims files on the move
using their iPads. The app has created a platform for further
mobile applications, and new functions and services are due for
release also in the second quarter of the year.
Geoff Kennard, electronic
services director at Xchanging said: "The launch of Wi-Fi in the
City is an important step to help the insurance market in
modernising its processes, while simultaneously maintaining crucial
face-to-face contact. Xchanging is investing in new innovations but
it is also investing in existing technologies such as Wi-Fi to help
the market make the most of the tools it already has."
