The context

A long-standing application moving to the web.

Allianz launched Global One, a multi-year programme to modernise its entire information system, the foundation of the group’s future digital developments. In 2016, the group decided to migrate Allianz Business System, its long-standing claims management application, from its Windows version to a web version.

The blind spot

Changing interface means relearning actions you used to do without thinking.

ABS has been used every day for years. Moving to the web does not change the job, it changes every screen, every click and every landmark. This is exactly the kind of switchover where habit works against you.

On switchover dayReal cases arrive on the new screens.

The solution

A training environment that behaves like ABS.

Allianz relied on K-STUDIO to create a simulated training environment reproducing the behaviour of the web version of ABS. No dedicated application training environment is needed, and no production data is exposed.

68 simulated exercises

They cover the situations needed for training on Allianz Business System.

100 % of the behaviour reproduced

The simulation reproduces the behaviour of the application in the web browser.

No dedicated environment

Training does not depend on an application environment maintained for it.

No risk for production

Employees practise without touching the data or the real application.
