Allianz partnering with Microsoft to drive digital transformation
Allianz will move parts of the global insurance platform Allianz Business System (ABS), which provides business processes for contract management and claims processing, to Microsoft's Azure cloud.

The partnership will also see Allianz develop new Insurance-as-a-Service (IaaS) offerings. Syncier, the IaaS startup founded by Allianz, will offer a new open-source solution built on Microsoft Azure, dubbed ABS Enterprise Edition.
