Using vision videos to support software development projects
Once a software development project has been completed, one of the major signs that it was successful is if the end product meets the customer’s expectations.

This is a good thing since the lack of urgency when it comes to digitalisation in recent years is now beginning to come back to haunt companies. Processes are being actively rebuilt, modernised and the application landscape is even being completely renewed in some cases. This applies first and foremost to insurance sales application processes, which I would like to introduce to you in this blog post.

Variant configuration (part 4) – engineers, programmers and IT as agile teams
Mastering variant configuration requires teamwork between designers, software developers and IT specialists. How can this work successfully? Ideally, integrated systems are modular and consist of authoring systems and modelling tools, configurators and frameworks, frontend and backend, workflow engines and integration modules. In this blog post, we take a look behind the scenes of the individual components and present their potential for optimisations.

Whether it arrives on paper or as a PDF, vast amounts of information reach our banks via the documents they receive (digital or analogue). In order to make this information usable for further processing in digital processes, the relevant information must be read out correctly and passed on to the right place in the process. This blog post is about how we can reliably perform this process and others for our customers using text extraction.

RPA as an AI enabler – software robots transport you to a harmonised system landscape
At the beginning of the global pandemic, the switch to mobile working was another wake-up call for many companies to invest more in digitalisation. A complete integration of all company processes into a few central systems often requires very high investments and can rarely be realised in a short amount of time. One possible solution to this situation is robotic process automation (or RPA). We explain what this is all about in our blog post.
