inubit in the Insurance Market:
Fast Processes with Simple IT.
The complexity and dynamism of the insurance industry have grown steadily for many years. Intensifying global competition and cost pressures, increasingly stringent legal requirements and provisions from Solvency II and
MaRisk, the Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG) and the Federal Data
Protection Act (BDSG), as well as ever-higher customer expectations present
companies in the industry with new challenges. Moreover, many business
processes in the industry are characterized by manual activities, marked
heterogeneity and low levels of automation, all of which lead to high administrative costs for brokers, agents and insurers.
inubit BPM – the whole world of BPM in one place
inubit BPM offers insurance companies a comprehensive and completely
integrated process platform for Business Process Management (BPM). From
modeling and simulation of processes to the automatic conversion of the
models into executable processes and the connection of heterogeneous
system landscapes to process monitoring, inubit BPM does it all.
Solutions for Insurances by Bosch Software Innovations
Developed on the basis of inubit BPM, preconfigured inubit solutions are
designed to meet the specific needs of our customers “out of the box.” The
benefit for our customers is that they do not need to invest time or money
in developing their own applications. Our solutions have proven themselves
in practice and can be custom-adapted to internal or external requirements.
They are not programmed, but based on business process models and technical workflows configured graphically.
Consulting – industry expertise at your service
To help you take full advantage of our comprehensive process management,
we support you with comprehensive consulting services. Our highly-qualified and exceptionally dedicated consultants, solution architects, project
managers, solution engineers, trainers and administrators can draw on
over 10 years of experience in the implementation of process management
objectives. And you can put that experience at the service of your projects –

What makes “BPM by inubit” special
We combine market-proven technology
characterized by a high degree of adaptability to the individual needs of our customers
with the insurance industryspecific expertise of our employees in the implementation
of projects. This means we can always meet
any customers requirement – however
complex – for all roles and actors in the
insurance sector.

The Modern Insurance Company
inubit BPM for insurance companies:
The information technology used by insurance companies has become the cornerstone of value creation chains and plays a
major role in the success of any company.
However, the established and, in some
cases, customized IT landscapes, are starting to show their years. Against this backdrop, and in light of constant market
demands, the pressure to innovate is enormous.
▶ Allows project-closing processing of business transactions while designing processes in a more transparent and clearer way.
▶ Optimizes the processing of quotation, application and policy creation
activities and forms the basis for portal solutions (e. g. broker portals).
▶ Automates processes in the areas of damage claims, product development
and agent registration checks.
▶ Supports compliance with Solvency II requirements.
▶ Enables connection to a call center.
inubit enables insurance companies to
modernize their IT landscapes and standardize processes, making them clearer and
more plannable, in order not only to meet
the changing demands of the market and
competitive environment but also to
increase productivity.
▶ Supports all required communication channels and data formats, e.g.
GDV, BiPRO, XML, Excel, CSV, GAEB, VVR, HIS, GDV industry network,
GDV damages network.
▶ Has advantages over internal custom developments such as complete process and procedure documentation, simple implementation of new interfaces and easy enhancement of existing ones, process control without
media discontinuity.
“The insurance market is undergoing major
changes right now. Many insurers still think
far too much in terms of systems. What is
decisive today is having the right concepts
and orientation from a business process
management perspective that allows you to keep pace with the changes.”

BiPRO-Compliant Sales Processes
As a member of BiPRO e. V. (Industry Institute for Process Optimization), inubit is pursuing the goal of standardizing
electronic processes in the insurance industry and has, among other things, contributed to the development of the
Security Token Service. As a standard product, the inubit BiPRO Server provides all standards and was the first product
to receive confirmation of 100 percent compliance with the BiPRO standard as well as the high quality of the interfaces
implemented and the technical integration of business partners.
Easy implementation of BiPRO standards
▶ Insurance companies can quickly implement standards with little effort.
▶ By
using existing interfaces, the amount of work required for implementing BiPRO-compliant interfaces is reduced by up to 50% compared to
complete in-house developments.
Quick access for sales partners
▶ Brokers,
agents and comparers are given standard-compliant access to all
relevant information and documents.
▶ Competitive advantages and better market penetration are achieved.
Cost-effective investment in the future
▶ Easy
and cost-effective maintenance of interfaces; inubit provides new
standards in the context of software maintenance.

Solutions for Swift Processes
Standardized processes for Solvency II requirements
Together with SKS Consulting, inubit has developed standardized processes
that enable insurance companies to master the growing number of tasks and
challenges with regard to Solvency II – even without additional resources.
▶ In the process of calculating the solvency capital requirement (SCR), the
data required for the calculation is imported automatically during overnight processing. Hence, business operations are not interrupted.
▶ Workflows map the responsibilities of pillar II in the corresponding roles
and thus ensure communication as well as the smooth transfer of data
and results in the company.
Processes on the fly
Processes do not end at company borders, especially when it comes to
recording damages. To quickly process damages, inubit has developed the
inubit iPhone app that can be used to establish a direct connection from
the claim location to the processors at the insurance company:
▶ Transactions, photos, dictations and GPS position information can be
easily recorded in forms on site.
▶ Mobile employees can create new tasks, process
tasks on the road or delegate them to the responsible contacts to facilitate speedy processing even
though they are out of the office.
