In the age of digitisation, many companies are under growing pressure to innovate, regardless of their field of business or the size of their business. Behind this pressure hide various sources of concern: companies worry that the competition will pass them by thanks to technological progress, that customers’ digital expectations cannot be met or that missing interfaces will lead to them being excluded from the supply chain. To counter these challenges and maintain a future-ready business model, companies must act now.

One essential aspect is the integration of modern technology in a company’s individual process landscape. But the market for potential solution providers and technology start-ups is as overwhelmingly unclear as it is fast-paced. And it also becomes difficult for companies when introducing new technology ends up being ‘digitisation for digitisation’s sake’ as opposed to a solution to a specific entrepreneurial problem. After all, the potential users do not generally have a lot of leeway for experimental projects alongside their core business.

Digitisation with added value 

This is exactly where our new service, Funk Beyond Insurance, comes in: we use the possibilities of digitisation to create problem-oriented, targeted and direct benefits for our clients’ risk and insurance management. Hendrik Löffler, a Member of the Funk Management Board, says on this topic, ‘When applied consistently, the new technology can help reduce many potential basic losses.’ Funk has already implemented the first real-world solutions in collaboration with established companies and a large partner network of technology-oriented start-ups. Along the way, the Beyond Insurance team always focuses on tackling specific challenges, in order to offer clients as much added value as possible using big data, blockchain and the like.
