Project overview

Starting point

The number one strategic target of DEVK is customer satisfaction. This can only be achieved through
fast processes, low resource utilization and high service quality. Instead of complex paper-based case
work, DEVK decided to launch end- to-end digital case processing. Doxis4 is now implemented
throughout all business divisions. With automated inbound mail processing, Doxis4 eRecords and
workflow support, DEVK is able to successfully implement digital case- oriented insurance management.
The capacities of regional locations are optimally tapped and the processing times are
minimized: The policy holders get the best possible service.
