Asseco Group Life is a comprehensive IT solution designed to support group life insurance, including protection and investment policies. Automation, flexibility and dynamic group policy management are just a few key advantages of this system.Group insurance is a very specific and one of the fastest growing segments in the Polish insurance market. In 2013, the number of policies and insured persons increased by 20% and similar growth is forecast for 2014. Therefore, this segment of the market is becoming increasingly important for insurers. Concurrently, group insurance operations are a complex and dynamic process. Suffice it to say that the largest group insurance contracts include several thousand insured persons, and premium related operations can be counted in hundreds of millions annually.In order to meet the expectations of the Polish market, Asseco Poland has created a specialized application – Asseco Group Life. The system was developed right from the beginning as a dedicated solution for group insurance. During the development phase, we paid special attention to the system architecture in order to ensure efficient mass processing, reversibility of operations, optimization of performance, scalability, and control mechanisms.“The system has been designed and built to support group insurance. Asseco Group Life sets the user free from performing thousands of manual routine operations, significantly reducing the work effort and the number of errors. We provided automation and data validation mechanisms, wherever it was possible," says Włodzimierz Serwiński, Vice President of Asseco Poland.The solution offers a rich set of functionality, including flexible parameter-driven configuration of insurance products as well as support for the full lifecycle of a policy, starting from registration of applications and policy binding, through customer management and handling of accessions, policy accounting, and ending up with benefit settlements and policy termination. Additionally, the solution supports the process of calculation and reporting of commissions as well as management of investments. Built-in mechanisms enable rapid and cost-efficient implementation of new or modified insurance products, effectively reducing their time-to-market.Asseco Group Life provides support for sales processes and policy administration. The system can be operated in a model adjusted to specific group insurance operations as well as online, through a web browser, which enables highly efficient, centralized policy servicing by a large number of users working simultaneously.
"Thanks to the applied technologies and system architecture, Asseco Group Life is a perfect match for the requirements of Polish life insurance companies. The system comes equipped with multiple mechanisms for performing elementary operations on user-specified ranges of data, be it the whole contract or a subgroup of insured individuals. The system is well prepared to handle individually continued policies, allowing to maintain relationships with customers that, for various reasons, depart from group insurance schemes. It is a powerful business tool that increases the rate of customer retention," emphasizes Włodzimierz Serwiński.The functional and technological properties of Asseco Group Life are presented on the product dedicated website: http://insgl.asseco.com/Asseco Group is one of the leaders in the global market of IT solutions for the insurance industry.

On 13 March 2014, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Asseco Poland and an Ethiopian government agency, namely the Information Network Security Agency (INSA), signed an agreement to jointly execute a project aiming to lay foundations for a modern energy market in Ethiopia. The contract value amounts to nearly USD 10 million and the project shall be completed by end of 2015.Construction of a modern energy market is of strategic importance to the Ethiopian economy. It will be created based on Asseco’s proprietary AUMS software as well as extensive know-how in IT solutions for the energy sector. Thus Asseco Poland has a chance to play a significant role in the development of information technology in Ethiopia and across Africa, and furthermore demonstrate to this continent that Poland is a country of innovative technologies which can be successfully implemented in the rapidly developing African economies.“Asseco’s cooperation with the Ethiopian government is strongly supported by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is a perfect example of how our diplomatic services get involved in promoting the Polish economy on global markets. I would especially like to thank Jacek Jankowski, Polish Ambassador to Ethiopia and the Embassy staff. Without their commitment, we would not be able to conduct so many fruitful meetings with ministers and representatives of the Ethiopian Government as well as representatives of the African Union. The Ambassador’s presence not only raised the rank of these meetings, but also aroused greater interest among our partners,” emphasizes Adam Góral, President and CEO of Asseco Poland.The concluded “INSA 2.0 Energy Enterprise Management System Development and Implementation Agreement” and “ERP Solution Advisory Services Agreement” both provide for the cooperation of Asseco and INSA in the area of implementing a software solution that is required to set up a modern energy market in Ethiopia. For this purpose, Asseco will deliver and launch a comprehensive IT system able to manage the power consumption readings, based on its proprietary Asseco Utility Management Solutions (AUMS). In addition, Asseco will provide advisory services associated with the development of ERP software, and it will also share the necessary knowledge and IT technologies in order to enable INSA build a modern energy market.“Cooperation with Ethiopia is strategically important for the expansion of our product family of Asseco Utility Management Solutions into foreign markets. We achieved a remarkable success which is the first measurable effect of our sales efforts in the African market. This project is also a great opportunity for further expansion of Asseco in Africa, not only in the power industry,” says Paweł Piwowar, Vice President of Asseco Poland.AUMS Billing is Asseco’s flagship product for the power industry, which has been tested at the IBM software laboratory in Singapore, and successfully implemented for Tauron Group, PGNiG Group, and Polkomtel, just to mention a few.
