Architecture

Insurance at the speed of life

In the age of rapid digital transformation, accelerating product development means everything for many insurers. However: finishing first is impossible without a platform that is geared for constant change.

To keep transaction data in a safe place, the Tia Solution is based on a solid foundation – with a microservice architecture inspired by Domain Driven Design on top. Historically, our solution has consisted of many different functional units. But now we’re launching new modules around our software mothership to empower our customers to release new features independently, deploy new versions faster than ever and scale up or down according to here-and-now needs. The newfound flexibility is a big step forward in terms of being able to capitalise on new business opportunities.

Tia Enterprise Solutions is the rock-solid core-transactional business functionality that drives issuing of new quotes, filing claims, etc. The solution is a modular platform based on stable Oracle technology as Oracle Database and Oracle ADF.
Tia Business Solutions are solutions that make life easier for business users. Written in Spring Boot and Angular, implemented as microservices and put into Docker containers.
Tia Digital Solutions are intended for end-users, such as customers or insurance agents. Usually written in Angular or React.

The microservices are written in a cloud-first stack and usually deployed at Amazon AWS Cloud, but can also run on-premise if needed. We like to use Java, Spring Boot and NodeJS – but for Machine Learning functionality we prefer Python. In short, we’re free to pick the perfect language and framework every time.

Our ecosystem is an API-opener

Unfortunately, most core insurance packages aren’t built to work together with third-party solutions. Like small islands in a vast ocean of opportunities they are often impossible to escape once you’re landed (or stranded). The architecture we create at Tia, however, is open by design and prepared to fit into any enterprise application landscape – large or small. We have separated core transaction-centric business functionality from user interfaces and other integration points like web services. These are our approaches:

Modern software solutions use REST APIs to integrate with each other. So we do too. REST works seamlessly with React, Angular and other modern web application frameworks.
This is event-based communication. Get informed when business events, such as ‘claim filed’ or ‘task completed’ happens within Tia Enterprise.
Mainly designed to target import and export file-based data.
We also have a comprehensive catalogue of SOAP services for third parties who prefer this integration technology.
