Plaut Consulting Group
acctus and BIAC cooperate in the Czech Republic:
SAP Insurance solutions from B&a Insurance Consulting
Vienna, April 01, 2008.- The two Austrian companies acctus Consulting and
Business Insurance Application Consulting (BIAC) founded a joint venture in
the Czech Republic at the start of March. The new company, B&a Insurance
Consulting s.r.o in Ostrava, will deal with SAP solutions for the insurance
sector.
The first objective of the young company is to pool both sides existing
specialist know-how und incorporate it into joint SAP Insurance solutions
(SAP FS Insurance). The focus will be on supporting rollout of SAP
solutions at the subsidiaries of the Vienna Insurance Group. The main goal
in this is to tailor existing systems to country-specific requirements and
assist the local teams in system rollout and data migration.
The companies of the Vienna Insurance Group will benefit from more
efficient and faster introduction of SAP solutions thanks to the joint
venture and related close cooperation between experts in Austria and the
Czech Republic. However, the existing know-how in conjunction with growing
expertise from initial projects will also benefit third parties: the SAP
Insurance solutions and support required for them are to be offered to
other insurance companies through the companies belonging to Plaut AG and
acctus Consulting.
Dr. Raimund Binder and Martin Krizak have been appointed Managing Directors
of B&a Insurance Consulting s.r.o. Both of them have many years of
experience in the IT sector.
