关于客户
uniVersa is an insurance company based in Nuremberg. They offer a wide range of insurance products and services to their customers. One of their notable products is the Tip-Top Tabaluga insurance plan, which offers a complete program of plans for children. The service package covers traditional and alternative medical care. If a covered child suffers long-term damage or requires extended care after an accident or illness, there are numerous options for immediate assistance and many lifelong support services. There are options for disability insurance, seed money for the retirement years and lifelong guarantees of expanded insurance coverage. And parents can secure the continuity of these plan services in the event that something should happen to them.
挑战
Insurance companies are facing immense challenges due to market deregulation and increased customer demands. This requires a high degree of market orientation and flexibility of business processes. One of the key questions determining lasting success is whether insurance companies’ legacy IT systems can keep pace with this development. Nuremberg-based uniVersa faced this challenge and needed to ensure their IT systems could adapt and evolve with the changing market. They also faced a specific challenge of creating appropriate inventory management systems for their new insurance product, Tip-Top Tabaluga, in less than two months.
解决方案
Since 1985, uniVersa has relied on Software AG’s technology. The Adabas data management system and the Natural development environment were implemented to rebuild the existing mainframe applications. In addition, the webMethods EntireX integration platform now acts as a bridge to these inventory systems for a series of satellite applications. uniVersa uses VAA, the application architecture of the German Insurance Association, as a design template for new development. This architecture clearly distinguishes between process, functional, and data models and defines the parameters for standardized interfaces and the reusability of software components. When other platforms are used for select systems, such as actuarial mathematics and risk assessment, webMethods EntireX is very effective for enabling integration and collaboration.

Case Study
Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
