IAA The IBM Insurance Application Architecture

The IBM Insurance Application Architecture (IAA) provides an architectural framework for the development of application solutions for the insurance industry. It is based on a general Insurance Business Architecture developed to provide common structures capable of representing the various, different business requirements occurring in the worldwide insurance companies. We will focus on the concepts, the contents and the positioning of the models representing this IAA Insurance Business Architecture. That way the motivation for a Business Architecture as a prerequisite for insurance specific business software components should become evident.
