Our solutions in the Vereinigte Hagel project
Generate more sales success with Microsoft.
Vereinigte Hagelversicherung VVaG is the European market leader for the insurance of agricultural weather risks.
For almost 200 years, the members of the insurance company have relied on the principle of a community of solidarity, shouldering risks together according to the principle of “all for one and one for all”.
VEREINIGTE HAGEL operates eight regional head offices in Germany and 6 subsidiaries in other European countries and is free to provide service operations in 3 other countries, making a total of 62 regional associations.
Despite this broad distribution across Europe, there was no digital, central platform on which, for example, news and other internal company information could be accessed by the employees.
In order to make collaboration between the sites more efficient, promote internal communication, and provide standardized templates, the need arose for a Hagel intranet, the ‘InVHonet’.
The aim was to increase the availability and transparency of customized information and to communicate developments at and to the various sites.
For storing (information) documents and templates in different languages.
The platform’s design must fit the corporate identity and have an intuitive user interface.
Technical and editorial training through online employee webinars and hypercare services.
Establishment and maintenance of a cross-site and cross-departmental editorial network within the insurance association.
“Thanks to Arineo’s profound expertise, goal-oriented, agile and pragmatic approach, we were able to successfully implement our “InVHonet” project in an employee-oriented manner. In addition to the technical support, Arineo managed to take the (editorial) colleagues on the journey to the Microsoft Cloud and inspire them.”
Daniel Rittershaus
Head of HR and Corporate Communications – Vereinigte Hagelversicherung VVaG
To understand the customer’s wishes and needs, we rely on requirement workshops with all parties involved – across the whole company.
Microsoft 365 Cloud, SharePoint Online, and “Valo Intranet” from Valo were selected to form the technological basis for the intranet solution. This ensures both future scalability and flexible extensibility to include subsystems – such as digital asset management, image databases, ticket tools, and human resource portals – without problems.
Valo Intranet was designed by Arineo solution architects and installed on SharePoint Online in VEREINIGTE HAGEL’s Microsoft tenant.
Subsequently, an agile approach was used to configure the ‘InVHonet’ solution for the customer and implement it according to VEREINIGTE HAGEL’s corporate identity.
In addition to the technical implementation, project and change management, Arineo also provided a series of online seminars to familiarize employees with the new communication platform, both in terms of technical and organizational training, as well as in editorial terms.
The smooth handover to productive operation was ensured by a GoLive and hypercare service.
Realization of synergy effects and added value through digital, device-independent networking of our employees and sites by means of a high-quality supply of information and verified templates and documents - just-in-time.
Hassle-free client integration on all devices and operating systems (Windows, Android, and Apple) through the use of Microsoft Cloud.
Additional features from Valo, Microsoft, or other subsystems can be integrated as needed.
“Arineo provided us with very pragmatic support for the Microsoft Teams rollout at the start of the pandemic and enabled us to work from the home-office at short notice. We also rely on Arineo’s strategic and operational expertise for further expansion stages such as MFA, Azure or Intune.”
