msg.Life Factory Services
Together with our customers, we develop solutions, from business analysis and implementation to testing, in order to optimally integrate the msg.Life Factory inventory management software into the IT landscape.

By combining our expertise in the processes, data model and customisation options of msg.Life Factory with in-depth knowledge of a wide range of life insurance products, we create real added value for our customers in a short period of time.
We master the challenges of modelling and implementing data flows to customer-specific peripheral systems. Our extensive expertise in testing and the use of the Business Service Test Laboratory (BTL) enable us to perform efficient bug analysis.
Requirements Engineering
We support you in precisely determining requirements and creating clear specifications for implementation. We analyse business processes, identify relevant use cases and translate these into robust specifications. This ensures that your solution is implemented with both functional and technical precision.
Test Engineering
Our experts accompany the testing process at all stages of development – from conception and implementation to evaluation. Using modern testing procedures and tools, we ensure that software runs stably, error-free and reliably. In this way, we minimise risks and ensure smooth commissioning.
Application Development
We take care of the seamless integration of msg.Life Factory into your existing system landscape. We develop customised interfaces and applications that efficiently support your processes and optimally integrate existing systems.
Release Change
msg.Life Factory is release-ready standard software that is subject to continuous functional and technical development. This means that our customers regularly upgrade to new releases in order to be able to use the enhanced functionality. We support the companies in this regard by working with them to develop suitable strategies for upgrading to a higher version, removing or maintaining existing customising solutions where possible, and testing the newly connected version of msg.Life Factory
Migration
Replacing legacy life insurance systems also presents our customers with the challenge of migrating these systems to msg.Life Factory. Our FIDA specialists are highly experienced in implementing exit processing in the migration source system, including the creation of rules for data mapping and data transformation for migration, as well as connecting partner administrations to the migration process. The integration of msg.Life Factory's own migration batch POLMIG, including technical and functional error analysis and troubleshooting, is also one of the tasks performed by FIDA.
In addition to providing technical support for topics related to msg.Life Factory, our FIDA employees are also responsible for installing and administering msg.Life Factory. A key aspect of this is supporting workflow integration. This includes defining Gevo start conditions, creating and maintaining tools for process control, incorporating mass Gevo and pending processes, and creating and supporting LF batch applications such as updating

References & Know-How
If you develop software, want to introduce it or are responsible for it in your company, you probably know this feeling: The new application is supposed to simplify processes, save time and make your life easier - but what if errors in the system have exactly the opposite effect?
Imagine you start your computer in the morning, open your software - and everything runs smoothly. No error messages, no unexpected failures, no "We have to update the system first" blockers. Sounds good, doesn't it? Unfortunately, everyday life often looks different
Digitalization is no longer a foreign concept in public administration - and yet many processes still feel like they used to: piles of paper on desks, duplicate data entry, long processing times. At the same time, citizens expect fast, digital services - preferably around the clock. This is exactly where artificial intelligence (AI) can make a real difference.
