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.

Diversity in the workplace is a very complex, ongoing issue. Moreover, it is constantly evolving and becoming increasingly fine-grained. In my blog post, I would like to explain to you in more detail what advantages diversity offers in the corporate context.

Content-as-a-Service (CaaS) has always aimed to make content available anywhere and in any format required. In theory, this sounds promising and useful. But how important is CaaS for today’s omnichannel marketing? Who benefits from CaaS, and what are the demands on the IT infrastructure? I will answer these questions in my blog post.

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.

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.
