For the insurance industry, IT must be classified as the most important production factor, although its importance will increase as our society becomes more digital. A particular challenge arises from the fact that essential functionalities and processes of many insurance companies are still mapped in old IT systems and must continue to be operated. For an intensive support of this customer group, therefore, not only experience with proven technologies, e.g. using host systems, is required, but also innovative approaches both in the project approach (agile methods vs. classic project management) and in the development environments and tools to be used.

Digitisation in the insurance industry
Traditional insurers are coming under increasing competitive pressure from start-ups and Internet giants such as Google and Amazon, which continue to push into the market. IT consulting is expected to provide solutions for the following challenges:
- Meeting increased customer expectations through digitalisation
- Strengthening competitiveness
- Reduction of sales and process costs
- Ensuring governance and compliance rules
- Modernisation of IT and application landscapes

Use Cases in Financial Services
Numerous factors favour the current upheaval within the industry. In addition to constant competitive pressure, the low interest rate environment, new regulations and demographic developments, digitisation is a real opportunity for many providers to increase their own share of a market that is hardly growing at all. Whether digitisation is successful depends largely on whether companies can offer their customers a comprehensive customer experience. Customers of financial service providers are demanding new solutions ever faster.
