Case Study: HUK-COBURG achieves real-time telematics insights and zero-downtime operations with Ultra Tendency

HUK-COBURG and Ultra Tendency create a new insurance experience

The customer, HUK-COBURG, Germany's largest auto insurer, sought to scale its innovative telematics discount program, which required processing a massive volume of driving data to offer customers real-time feedback and premium savings. To meet this big data challenge and ensure a future-proof platform, they partnered with the vendor Ultra Tendency for development and consulting expertise.

Ultra Tendency implemented a highly reliable, hybrid cloud solution featuring a "Double Lambda" architecture and Spark Streaming applications on a multi-cluster landscape. This provided HUK-COBURG with a scalable and secure platform that has achieved zero downtime for three years despite handling thousands of daily users. The measurable impact includes uninterrupted service since 2016, enabling real-time data for customers and equipping HUK-COBURG to lead in data-driven insurance products.
