    STANDARD & SIGNAL

    The podcast on insurance IT: standards, regulation and technology — discussed by a trio, backed by the articles of Sasha Justmann.

    You would rather listen than read? That is exactly what this podcast is for. We take the analyses, talks and hands-on experience around BiPRO, process automation, security and AI and discuss them the way you need them at work: contextual, concrete and without buzzword bingo.

    The written basis

    Every episode is based on an article. If you prefer to read, look things up or quote them, the full analysis is waiting for you there.

    The conversation

    In the podcast the article turns into a discussion: Andreas and Annika take the arguments apart and translate them into practice.

    The team

    THREE VOICES, ONE LINE

    There are three of us — with clearly assigned roles. That keeps the episodes compact and makes sure depth and clarity do not work against each other.

    Sasha — Subject lead & research

    Sasha

    Subject lead & research

    Sasha delivers the scientific part in the background: articles, analyses, numbers and the context around standardisation and insurance IT. He sets the topics and makes sure every argument holds up.

    Andreas — Host & context

    Andreas

    Host & context

    Andreas guides you through the episode, keeps the thread and asks the questions you would ask yourself. He turns standards documents into decisions that really come up in projects.

    Annika — Co-host & counterpoint

    Annika

    Co-host & counterpoint

    Annika is the critical voice: she checks every claim against operational reality, asks about effort, risk and benefit — and makes sure each episode ends with something you can act on.

    WHAT WE TALK ABOUT

    The episodes follow the same topics as the articles. So sooner or later every badge in the blog gets its own conversation.

    AI Meets BiPRO Standards: Why Structured Interfaces Are Essential for Automated Case Processing

    Artificial intelligence was the dominant topic at BiPRO Day 2026 – and precisely in the anniversary year when BiPRO e.V. celebrated its 20th existence. At first glance, this may seem surprising: Why is a two-decade-old interface standard needed when modern AI systems can supposedly process unstructured data? However, the BiPRO community at the event took a clear opposing stance: Artificial intelligence does not replace standards – it makes them more important than ever. This is because powerful AI systems require structured, quality-assured, and semantically unambiguous data to function reliably.

    RClassic or RNext? Why specialist maturity determines the right standard generation

    20 years of BiPRO – this anniversary was at the heart of BiPRO Day 2026 at the Dorint Kongresshotel Düsseldorf/Neuss. With around 500 participants, over 40 speakers, and more than 300 member companies, the association has long become the central authority for digital standards in the insurance industry. However, alongside a retrospective, and artificial intelligence, another forward-looking topic dominated the presentations: the relationship between the established standard generation RClassic and the newer generation RNext.
