"So far, insurance companies have primarily relied on in-house approaches and their own architectures for digital transformation," explained Stephan Hans, Managing Director of SDA SE. "These isolated solutions entail various disadvantages. They cover a great depth of the value chain, are expensive, and often do not take into account the know-how available on the market as a whole."
"We see our involvement with SDA SE as a strategic investment, and will support the company to completely serve the needs of the market," said Carsten Middendorf, Investment Director at Allianz X. "The potential of service-dominant architecture in the insurance industry is enormous and will take demand-driven customer communication to a new level in times of digital transformation."
Roland Weber, Board Member at Debeka Group, said, "SDA SE's approach is consistent, technologically superior and secure. It enables 360-degree customer understanding and has what it takes to become a leading industry standard."
"The fact that insurance companies competing on the market support our approach shows us that we are on the right track," added Ralf Steinmeister, Managing Director of SDA SE.
