Company Information

Dortmund (euro adhoc) - adesso has produced an innovative new Apple
iPad app for supporting the sales activity of German insurance
company Barmenia Versicherungen. Insurance brokers can access it
during a meeting with customers to source information for them, find
out what policies best suit their needs and identify possible gaps in
their insurance coverage, for example in regard to retirement schemes
and policies which safeguard against loss of income due to inability
to work. Other applications can be integrated quickly if necessary.

Developed by adesso in just six months, the solution's interface is
gesture-based and does away entirely with the need to enter text. It
is underpinned by an intuitive and user-focused interface concept
that deploys features such as interactive diagrams for entering
figures on the iPad touchscreen. Additionally, images and video clips
are used to illustrate important points. The app made its debut in
October at DKM in Dortmund, the specialist trade fair for the finance
and insurance sector. Scores of insurance brokers are now already
using it for their everyday work.

The synergy effects generated by adesso Group's interactive project
development processes ensured the app could quickly go live. This was
invaluable for Barmenia. The Barmenia app was created as part of a
collective effort between adesso AG, its two subsidiaries, adesso
mobile solutions GmbH and ARITHNEA GmbH, and the Ruhr Institute for
Software Technology "paluno" at the University of Duisburg-Essen. By
combining professional expertise from different fields such as
insurance-focused consultancy, technology, mobile application
development, usability optimisation and interface design, adesso has
created an app which leads the way among tablet and smartphone
solutions. It delivers customers efficient results when adapting
their business processes for the mobile internet.

Based in Wuppertal, Barmenia is among Germany's largest independent
insurance companies. With some 3,400 in-house specialists and sales
agents in the field plus scores of brokers, the company manages over
1.7 million insurance contracts.
