Abstract: Avoid keystrokes with this stroke of genius. Clal Insurance, a Software AG customer, has developed a generic conversion tool that turns any known XML/JSON™ that represents a request to join an insurance saving plan into an internal API using metadata.

Speaker: Rajesh Malani, Head – Center of Excellence, Software AG Practice, Cognizant

Abstract: Our experience working with Guidewire customers tells us that Guidewire is a feature-rich platform with a number of separate modules having individual data models. Using webMethods.io, Cognizant built a catalogue of pre-built recipes and APIs so that round trips to Guidewire from other systems can be minimised and simplified. Building new customer-facing applications integrated with Guidewire becomes much more faster. If you want to remain on-premise with Guidewire, this will help extend the life of Guidewire with the help of re-useable API catalogue and enable smooth journey to cloud.

Main Contact: Sourabh Roy, Global Director, Infosys Energy BU

Abstract: Ensuring a balance between economic viability, safety, and sustainability is a continuous effort for energy companies. More so as hydrocarbons and petrochemicals are also highly flammable products. Large energy companies have storage tanks across the world, and they receive and dispatch petrochemicals 24/7. How should energy companies monitor and manage their oil and gas storage facilities so that they are always meeting their consumer’s needs? Software AG and Infosys have developed a Smart IoT-enabled Remote Tank Monitoring Solution to do just this.

Speaker: Dalene Minnaar, Enterprise Architect, Standard Bank

Abstract: Standard Bank was established in 1862 and is the biggest lender by assets in Africa. Its Fleet Management Division, with the largest market share in South Africa, started to lose ground to FinTechs who offered niche services.
Mainframe technology was holding the business back. The entire business model needed to transform from transactional card and managed maintenance to an insights-driven digital business able to create new value for customers by leveraging a partner ecosystem.
The modernization journey started in 2019 and, in record time, Standard Bank was able to use the Software AG Digital Business Platform to capture the market with new digital offerings while extending the value of a 35-year-old mainframe built with Adabas & Natural.
