A climate-friendly energy carrier like hydrogen is becoming increasingly relevant in times of disputed gas supplies, rising energy prices and advancing climate catastrophes. The import of green hydrogen from abroad as well as projects for domestic production, distribution and use within Germany are already being planned. In our blog post, we’ll explain to you how gas is turned into a tradable product and which requirements have to be met in order to establish a functioning market.

A community of practice is an association of experts. Its objectives include the exchange and transfer of knowledge on specialist topics. Together with other testing experts, prominently from the insurance sector, I founded the Testing@Insurance CoP last summer. My blog post introduces you to our Testing@Insurance CoP in more detail.

It is no longer possible to imagine IT projects without the cloud, regardless of what industry you’re talking about. New business models offer advantages in terms of scalability, stability and security, which deliver benefits across the cost structure of the IT system landscape. In many customer situations, the cloud is used as an all-purpose term or even as a buzzword. It loses its core meaning. But what is the cloud and what does it mean for me?

The path to successful digitalisation in the laboratory requires the use of IT systems. While a large part of the documentation and data volume for manual process steps is kept on paper, an increased level of digitalisation also entails an increased volume of data. This makes it all the more important to ensure that the IT systems that are used are validated so that the data that’s generated and processed is subject to the required quality criteria.

Data is one of the most valuable assets for any company – and this is no different for insurers. The amount of data continues to grow as digitalisation gathers pace. The challenge for insurers is to generate complete, high-quality data from the vast quantities of information available. This blog post explains what data-driven insurance is and what the associated requirements and implications are.

The legal framework has been established to meet the three overarching objectives of energy policy, those being economic efficiency, environmental compatibility and security of supply. This includes the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), which has created incentives for the expansion of renewable energy sources. Since this subsidy is no longer available or will soon be phased out for certain installations, we would like to present options on how to sell the energy they generate in the future in this blog post.

Everyone talks about sustainability, but do we all mean the same thing? The insurance industry can use its prominent position to make a major contribution to sustainable action. You may now be asking yourself how an insurance company can be sustainable in the first place. I will explain how in my blog post.

Crypto currencies and digital payment methods have been fuelling the emergence of new trends and developments in the financial sector for several years; and they’ve gained significant impetus. Regulatory bodies are also reacting to the phenomenon by bringing order to the system. In this blog post, I’ll explain what consequences these developments have for the banking market and what the future of crypto currencies and digital assets might look like.

Cloud computing has become an essential part of the IT strategy for the majority of companies in Germany. Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud-based infrastructure services in particular are the preferred means for meeting the challenges of digitalisation. In my blog post, I’ll describe the transition from the cloud to ‘real’ Software as a Service and show you its benefits.
