When it comes to digital progress, we repeatedly criticise the status quo of digital infrastructure and tools in companies in Germany. But if we only ever talk about the technical side, we fall into one of the biggest traps of digitalisation: digital transformation is not achieved by simply updating hardware and software, but above all by changing the way people think.

A relaunch should make a website better, more modern and more successful. If you factor search engine optimisation (SEO) into your relaunch, you can ensure that it is a major success. In my blog post, I’ll take a look at the most important things you need to seize the opportunity to improve and prevent your website from becoming invisible.

The company pension scheme is promoted by the German Act to Strengthen Occupational Pensions (Betriebsrentenstärkungsgesetz, BRSG) of 2018. This provides a state subsidy for employers who pay their low-income earners a company pension. But who is a ‘low-income earner’ and how much is the contribution?

In my blog post, I will explain everything you need to know about this topic.

Complete transparency is an important promise that Microsoft makes to its customers, which is a crucial milestone in the right direction towards building a meaningful position of trust. In my blog post, I would like to give you an overview of the current efforts that Microsoft is making with regard to its cloud.

In my blog post, I would like to give you a general overview of the importance of a contemporary corporate culture that meets VUCA requirements in conjunction with digital solutions – among other things, with regard to 360-degree customer service in the insurance industry.

In the context of cloud strategies, terms such as cloud native, multi-cloud and cloud agnostic are often used. In my blog post, I classify these terms and show the consequences for companies.

In times of WhatsApp, chatbots and artificial intelligence, giving insured persons the chance to reach insurers via any channel is a goal that does not always succeed in the insurance industry. If you look at the developments taking place in the insurance market, you will see that it is no longer just about being individually accessible but that it is more a matter of winning the customer (digitally) where they are and where they move around. Hobbies and passions come to the fore and, as a consequence, interfaces to ecosystems. But what makes ecosystems interesting for end customers, insurers and brokers?
