Industry Context

When document and communication processes are deeply embedded in the system landscape

Insurance-related document processes link business requirements with templates, document logic, data, and technical integrations. In established enterprise landscapes, this creates dependencies that must be taken into account during modernization and further development.

01

Extensive Document Landscapes

A multitude of existing templates and document logic must be reliably managed and further developed within complex system and process landscapes.

02

Enterprise Integration

Output management platforms are connected to upstream business processes, data sources, and downstream communication and processing systems.

03

Platform Modernization

Established output and CCM landscapes must be aligned with future technology and architecture strategies.

04

Stable Operations

Technical changes must be introduced into existing production environments in a controlled manner while ensuring that relevant document processes continue to function.

Expertise

Output management for complex document and communication processes

etiam provides support wherever specialized output management expertise is needed for the development, modernization, and operation of complex enterprise document landscapes.

Targeted development of templates and document logic

Support for the technical development and enhancement of templates, document logic, and platform-specific components within existing output management landscapes.

Functional requirements are implemented within the context of the existing platform, integrations, and document processes.

Reliably integrate output management into existing systems

Document processes are connected to data sources, business processes, and related enterprise systems.

etiam provides support for technical integration, taking existing interfaces and dependencies into account during architecture and implementation.

Future-proofing established output landscapes

Analyze existing platforms, templates, and document logic, and modernize them in a controlled manner as part of a new platform or architecture strategy.

etiam provides support from the technical inventory and target architecture through to migration and go-live.

Specialized support for production output platforms

Support for troubleshooting, changes, upgrades, and the technical evolution of production output management landscapes.

Technical issues are analyzed within the context of the platform, document logic, integrations, and existing dependencies.

Legacy platforms

Existing StreamServe, Exstream, or other legacy environments are reaching their technological or strategic limits and need to be transitioned to a future-proof platform.

Document & Customer Communication

View document processes across platform and system boundaries

Business-critical document and communication processes consist of more than just individual templates. Data, document logic, platforms, and technical integrations interlock to form the foundation for document creation and processing.
etiam views these components as interconnected and provides support for their technical development, integration, and modernization.

01

Templates

Technically evolve existing templates and document structures and reliably account for platform changes.
02

Document logic

Analyze and implement rules and processing logic within the context of the underlying document processes.
03

Integrations

Reliably connect data sources, business processes, and output platforms via defined interfaces.
04

Platform architecture

Further develop existing output landscapes and align them with future technical and architectural requirements.
Delivery & risk management

Develop business-critical document processes in a controlled manner

Changes to output management landscapes often affect more than just individual templates or platform components. Integrations, document logic, and existing processes must be considered collectively during modernization and technical development.

Plan technical changes in the overall context

New requirements, platform changes, and modernizations can impact existing document processes and technical dependencies.

etiam takes these interdependencies into account during planning and implementation, providing support for introducing changes into existing output landscapes in a structured manner.

Reliably validate new and modified document processes

Testing and technical validation look beyond individual templates to include relevant document logic, integrations, and technical dependencies.

This allows open issues to be identified early and changes to be specifically prepared for productive use.

Considering existing document processes during modernization

When evolving productive output landscapes, existing document processes and operational requirements remain relevant.

Modernization and migration are planned to ensure that existing dependencies and ongoing processes are taken into account alongside the future technical target state.

Providing platform expertise even after go-live

Business-critical output management landscapes require specialized technical expertise even after changes or modernizations.

etiam supports existing teams with troubleshooting, changes, upgrades, and the continuous technical development of the platform.

Legacy platforms

Existing StreamServe, Exstream, or other legacy environments are reaching their technological or strategic limits and need to be transitioned to a future-proof platform.
