What are the challenges facing the financial sector and how can digitalization and automation help?
The financial sector is faced with the challenge of constantly expanding its business while at the same time minimizing risks and sustainably reducing costs. Financial customers today demand fast, transparent and customer-oriented processing across different channels. Digitalization and automation of processes is the solution to lowering costs, reducing processing times in terms of quality and counteracting the challenges of demographic change - and and without making major and expensive changes to the IT architecture. The focus should be on standardized, repetitive processes with high administrative costs, such as claims settlement, payment processes, sales planning or input and output management.

How can software be renewed on outdated components?
In principle, there are various options for replacing old software components. The most costly option is a complete new build, in which the software component is designed and implemented from scratch. Another form of software renewal is a largely technical migration of the component. In this case, the functional processes are retained and the software is moved to a new technical basis. Which variant is the right one must be considered and decided individually in each case, as there are advantages and disadvantages to be considered for each solution.

Why should insurance and financial services companies use a hybrid cloud?
A hybrid cloud offers insurance and financial services companies the opportunity to take advantage of the benefits of public clouds - such as scalability, cost-efficient use of resources and state-of-the-art infrastructure technologies. At the same time, applications with personal and/or business-critical data can be operated, stored and archived in private cloud environments in compliance with data protection regulations.
Arvato Systems is an infrastructure-independent managed service provider. This means that Arvato Systems has a standardized managed service portfolio, which is based on the infrastructures of Azure, AWS and GCP as well as on the infrastructure of the Arvato Systems virtual private cloud - the Virtual Private Cloud - can be operated. Arvato Systems is therefore the ideal managed service provider for companies that want a hybrid cloud want to use a hybrid cloud.
