Digital twins are virtual duplicates of physical products. The use of such digital twins results in innovative ways to perform traditionally more time-consuming tasks, which has a direct impact on increasing the pace of innovation in the company. In my blog post, I explain how digital twins are already being used and what advantages these digital models have in mapping real processes.

The megatrend of sustainability is the talk of the town. This topic doesn’t stop at the banking world; it will put the tried and true to the test and create something new. In my blog post, I provide a concrete explanation of what’s in store for banks.

In public tenders, proposal management encounters what are called ‘thresholds’. In public procurement law, the threshold values define the boundary between EU-wide tenders and national tenders. In 2019 in Germany, for example, the federal ministries opened over 1,200 EU-wide tenders that had a total value of €5 billion. In my blog post, I will give you a glimpse into the world of thresholds, as they were adjusted on 1 January 2022 and will remain valid for two years.

My goal in software development is to build programmes and features that people need and like to use. Only on the way did I slowly realise that simply writing code would probably not be enough.

If you believe the words of Arne Schönborn, President of the German Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, BSI), a milestone in the digitalisation of the energy transition has now been reached. In this blog post, we explain what this milestone is and what it means for the smart meter rollout seven years after the publication of the German Act on the Digitalisation of the Energy Transition (Gesetz zur Digitalisierung der Energiewende, GDEW).

B2B portals are the ideal place to interact with customers, suppliers and partners. This is because in the current market environment, comprehensive and well-thought-out customer service has long since become a differentiating competitive factor. But what makes a good B2B portal? What should you pay attention to in practice? In this blog post, I will answer these questions and give you some tips.

If we know what our customers will want tomorrow, we can make them the perfect offer today. Unfortunately, this is rarely successful, and products are usually just ‘dumped’ on thousands of people at a time. In my blog post, I will explain how the next-best-action approach can help banks anticipate the needs of customers and the next steps that would be best for them.

In the first part of my blog post, I used a persona to derive the requirements of Generation Alpha for insurance providers. In this blog post, I will explain what the next generation of insurance customers values and how insurance providers can prepare for these demands and needs.

Achieving Germany’s ambitious climate targets is currently the talk of the town. One of the measures announced by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz, BMWi) as part of this are carbon contracts for difference (CCfD). We explain what this is all about in our blog post.
