The German insurance group HUK-COBURG has over 11 million customers and around 10,000 employees, making it Germany’s largest auto insurance company measured by the number of policies. One out of every five cars in Germany is insured by HUK. The company is also the second largest liability and household insurer in Germany.

In 2001, IT managers at HUK-COBURG recognized the challenge presented due to increased complexity and the continuously increasing number of decentralized IT systems processes. They required a permanent, future-proof solution that would simplify their operation and enhance workflows, while includeding a robust, powerful file transfer feature that could be seamlessly integrated in SAP. HUK-COBURG found what it was looking for in Stonebranch, and has been a happy customer for over 17 years.

By switching to Stonebranch, HUK-COBURG was able to use the existing TWS scheduling solution and migrate without major effort. The Universal Agent technology also scored points with its integrated file transfer solution (MFT), because it finally enabled both asynchronous and synchronous data transmissions. Furthermore, Universal Agent seamlessly supported the required integration with SAP, making it possible to manage all of the company’s SAP processes via TWS.
