About Client

Wiener Städtische insurance is part of the leading Austrian insurance company Vienna Insurance Group (VIG), the leader in CEE, with almost two centuries long tradition. In Serbia, the company has been doing business successfully since 2003, and today its business network operates in more than 40 towns with more than 1,200 staff.

Context

Wiener Städtische insurance was obliged to realize new app for the sale of insurance policies for households within exceptionally short deadlines, first of all for the banking sector and the sale of household insurance with mortgage loans.

In addition, the situation was made even more complex owing to the fact that the banking sector’s practices differed much than practices implemented in other sales sectors and that it was necessary to provide special architecture due to joint processes by several internal services, and to prepare a field for potential integrations with other systems outside the company.

An urgent solution was necessary and urgent solutions require people who know the business process problems in detail, property insurance in this case.

Solution

Since the moment we were hired for this job, we embarked on intensive and detailed analyses of specific features of the process in question, as well as analysis of future requirements. We have prepared a business analysis, and specific features both of process, and proposals of solutions in detail.

The primary target of the proposed solution was, of course, realization of the new app to issue property insurance policies and property interests with vinculation, for the necessities of banks as representatives in insurance and the internal network, namely other sales channels.

However, the project also had an important secondary aim, namely the introduction of the microservice architecture into the new service, as well as part of existing services, which would enable the use of realized solutions both by other services within the company, and by apps of external partners.
Our solution has envisaged the creation of multiple services, which would cover the basic needs of the app in question, including the following:
