Executive Keynotes: As part of the worldwide financial services team at Microsoft, Mr. Maroney focuses on helping companies enable their front line staff with the customer insight and service tools that today's consumers and increasingly producers expect.  Microsoft refers to this empowerment strategy as becoming a People Ready Business.  In the insurance industry, Microsoft provides this capability through a connected series of business solutions and technology enablers such as CRM called the Insurance Value Chain (IVC).  As Mr. Maroney will discuss, EDS SOLCORP is a key partner in the IVC from their wealth management offerings through to their core processing systems. Charlie Wood is a Technical Evangelist working with software vendors to create solutions which integrate to, or are built on top of, the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform. His primary role is to work as a catalyst to enable Microsoft's partners to bring to market solutions which meet customer needs through leveraging Dynamics CRM integrated with other Microsoft technology.  Mr. Wood's presentation will demonstrate how Microsoft Dynamics can be utilized within the insurance and financial industries.
