Description

MÜNCHENER VEREIN Versicherungsgruppe has realized a new suite of Frontend applications based on UltraLightClient. The new applications offer end-to-end support for business processes, integrating heterogeneous legacy applications and providing a single rich UI for all users. Leveraging UltraLightClient’s multiple deployment options, MÜNCHENER VEREIN has created an impressive architecture that allows them to run their new applications both online and offline. The applications can be used in three setups:
