Aon plc is expanding its proprietary Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program (DCLP) with an additional $1 billion, increasing the program’s capacity to $3.5 billion.
In addition, coverage will extend to include existing data centers coming off the first year of operations. With this enhancement, Aon’s DCLP now provides co
ntinuity of coverage into long‑term operations, extending coordinated support to existing, mission‑critical data center assets beyond construction and commissioning.
“Data centers have become foundational to innovation, connectivity and economic growth,” said Joe Peiser, CEO of Risk Capital at Aon, in a statement. “As these assets grow in size, complexity and importance, resilience
must be built from the start. By expanding our Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program and extendi
ng coverage to operating data centers, Aon is helping clients anticipate risk, protect critical assets and invest in digital infrastructure with greater confidence.”

I recently had the opportunity to attend the CLM annual conference, hosted by the Claims and Litigati
on Management Alliance, and one of the sessions that I was interested in was about the hiring gap that the insurance world is deep
in the middle of right now. Anyone who is still talking about Millennials is way behind because that generation is firmly in place. We need to be talking about how we get the
next two generations into the insurance world beginning yesterday.
From what I gathered talking to people and paying attention to the younger attendees, I came aw
ay encouraged–especially
if we continue on the culture path the insurance world seems to be embracing. If you read this and think to yourself that your current experienc
e is way different from what I’m going to write about, you have to realize that your experience may not be what’s going on outside of your part of the world.
