Contrary to HDI’s assumption that the onboarding process would take several months, our team completed it in just two weeks, leading to a pleasant surprise for HDI. This demonstrated our commitment and efficiency and set the stage for a successful partnership.


Onboarding Process

Our role expanded beyond just development; Hicron’s team played a crucial role in fostering effective communication and mutual understanding. By carefully explaining the business and technological dependencies, we helped the teams find common ground and work towards a shared goal.

This collaborative approach was instrumental in transforming the outdated application into a dynamic, efficient, and user-friendly tool.


Bridging the Communication Gap

Our Business Analyst performed an extensive business analysis, delving deep into the details. On that foundation, we recommended a suitable working model for the project. We mapped and matched the legal requirements of the local market, the dynamic changes in the market itself with technology. As a consulting and implementation partner, we proposed working with Vaadin – an open-source web application development platform for Java.


Business Needs First

Our business-focused approach and thorough business analysis led to a successful transformation of HDI’s critical Policy application. We efficiently reduced the 20-year technology debt and replaced the legacy stack with a modern system. The new web-based application runs flawlessly. Changes can always be made. Bug fixing became faster, and the release cycle shortened from three months to just one week. The process of issuing a complex policy was also shortened, and the application became much easier to use.


Faster Time to Market 

This case study underscores the importance of a business-focused approach and thorough business analysis in solving complex business problems. Hicron Software House, acting as an IT expert, partner, and advisor, successfully navigated the challenges of digital transformation. The end result was an improved operational efficiency for HDI and a simplified, user-friendly policy creation process for its clients.


Opening the Business to New Potential

After carefully evaluating suppliers, we decided to try a new approach and start working with near-shore software house. Cooperation with Hicron Software House was something different, and it turned out to be a great success that brought added value to our company. 

With HICRON’s creative ideas and fresh perspective, we reached a new level of our core platform and achieved our business goals. 

Many thanks for what you did so far; we are looking forward to more in the future!

Hicron Software House Success Story in InsurTech for HDI - A case study | 2024

At the heart of HDI’s operations is a Policy application, a crucial tool developed in 2009 for managing contracts, drafting policy documents, and issuing invoices. The application’s outdated complex architecture and limited functionality were slowing business operations. The IT and business teams struggled to understand each other’s needs due to their different spheres of work.

The application needed a revamp, and HDI needed support on how to navigate the complex transformation. They needed a partner that could propose tech upgrades and solutions that would enable business continuity without starting from scratch.


Overcoming Limitations of Outdated Policy Application

As part of the modernization process, HDI needed the new Policy application to be compatible with cloud technology. Our expertise was essential in developing a cloud-ready solution to meet HDI's evolving needs and optimize the business operations.


Ensuring Cloud Compatibility for Policy Application

A previous partnership with a vendor had failed to provide the desired results, amplifying the need for a strategic partner who could offer both technical expertise and a keen understanding of HDI’s business needs.
