Support is required in the areas of analysis, design, implementation and testing of the solution. This also includes support for IT processes, creation of documentation, preparation of workshops, creation of technical documentation and support in project management.

The business areas receive templates for the models in order to generate their data or consolidate it. This information is collected by the department for financial planning and modeling. The templates used for the models are adapted and improved during project runtime. The procedure is an agile process framework. The technology used is based on Microsoft Excel and enhanced with Visual Basics for Applications (VBA). Another part of the task is the development of different Excel files.
Subject description
The expanded result of the performance group is an important function of the group functions. This includes internal and external reporting, as well as planning and modeling. The planning models use data from the past to create the best forecast possible. Use of the budget for the forecast improves the quality of the prediction. Every business area must enter its financial figures in Excel and deliver them to the group function. Divisions can be reinsurance cover for property insurance or reinsurance cover for life insurance. You can use this information, for example, to calculate "Shareholder Equity" or total expenditure for "Assets" for a year.
