In the reinsurance market, ceding companies usually exchange technical and accounting information with their counterparts via email and attachments. This results in very long processing times and high risks of human error.

We provided XLayers' Ruschlikon module, which was specifically developed to integrate with IMDEP and fully automatically exchange all technical and accounting messages related to reinsurance. The test involves a number of contracts between the client and Swiss Re, participating as a receiver. For these contracts, we access the test environment and produce all the technical-accounting data involved, using XLayers' Ruschlikon module. These data are then sent by XLayers to the IMDEP interchange hub, which redirects them to Swiss Re, which performs correctness and completeness checks and loads the received data into its own systems in order to trigger the usual back office processes. The test, currently in its final stages, also includes the handling of any clarification request messages (queries) from Swiss Re, a process that is fully integrated into the XLayers platform.
