Open and secure IT

Insurers often still have an outdated application landscape that is costly to maintain.

New product requirements cannot be implemented quickly, and the logic is often hard-coded in the source code. IT can't keep up with rapidly changing market requirements.

Some applications still lack GUIs and are cumbersome for users to use. Other applications form silos and do not allow an overarching customer view. Authorizations, even for privileged users, are not systematically managed over the lifecycle. This poses security risks and violates BaFin requirements.

Ensure reliable and secure software, save costs and enable agile ways of working.

Insurers benefit from standard applications that can be deployed quickly, planned reliably and save costs in terms of maintenance and further development. With cloud and containerization, not only can workloads be flexibly migrated, but resources are used more sparingly. Modern developer tools give young IT talent every opportunity for an agile work culture and make insurers attractive employers in the competition for coveted IT resources. Systematically managed interfaces and access options are the basis for Open Insurance to realize novel business opportunities. At the same time, they consolidate security in cyber space.
