Keynote: The Shift to a New Digital Allianz Germany
summary
Allianz Germany builds a Digital Factory with 100-day MVPs, a review board and a dedicated integration layer that links decades-old core insurance systems to a fast customer-facing stack. Teams colocate in open spaces (a 90-seat site opened in June), use agile practices with Pivotal and an elastic Cloud Foundry infrastructure, and partner with Kaiser Excellence for UX. The program is live and accelerating releases but remains early stage—processes and governance still need tightening.
