- Our Experts | Mattijs Augustijnen “AI makes experts stronger. It doesn’t make expertise unnecessary.” As Data Migration Lead at thewave, Mattijs Augustijnen has spent more than a decade working with insurance data and complex migrations. He has seen first-hand how AI is changing the way migration projects are approached, from data analysis and development to testing and validation. In our latest Our Experts interview, Mattijs explains how AI is reshaping data migration, why understanding the meaning behind the data remains the
- Tech Matters | October 2026 An API stops being just integration plumbing the moment another organisation starts depending on it. When brokers or aggregators build their journeys and processes around an insurer’s API, that API becomes a product with a contract that needs to remain reliable, even while the technology landscape behind it continues to change. And that creates a challenge. How do you keep partner-facing APIs stable while core systems are replaced, vendors release updates and internal architectures continue to
- Expertise worth sharing. Meet Rick Goossens, Country Manager Nederland at The Ensur Company, as he shares his perspective on the future of insurance transformation. Read the full interview below.
- Tech Matters | September 2026 Last month, we explored why AI-enabled software delivery requires more than making individual developers faster. Now, we take the next step. As AI agents generate more code, faster, the bottleneck starts to shift. Code generation becomes cheap. Human attention and verification do not. So how do you increase agent throughput without simply creating a longer review queue? The answer lies in the agent harness: the environment of rules, tools, tests, feedback loops and controls that guides agents and
- Tech Matters | August 2026 Everyone is using AI. So why hasn’t software delivery changed? AI coding assistants are making developers faster. But in many organisations, delivery itself hasn’t become significantly faster, more predictable or easier to scale. The reason? Most organisations have changed how developers work without changing how software gets delivered. This raises an important question: Are you improving individual productivity, or are you actually transforming your delivery capability? In this edition of Tech
- Many organisations see Design Thinking and Agile as competing approaches. One focuses on discovery. The other focuses on delivery. But what if the strongest teams don’t choose between the two? In our latest conversation, Stijn De Ruysscher and Garifalia Kanellopoulos share their perspective on why Design Thinking and Agile work best together and why understanding the problem is just as important as delivering the solution. We discuss: • why Design Thinking is really about reducing risk • why user research gets skipped so often • how
- Tech Matters | July 2026 For many insurers, modernisation is no longer a question of if. It’s a question of how. Yet the biggest challenge in an insurance migration isn’t moving data from one system to another. It’s understanding decades of business logic, product evolution and regulatory complexity hidden behind that data. This raises an important question: Is your migration approach built for AI, or is AI simply being added to an outdated way of working? In this edition of Tech Matters, we explore: • why traditional migration
- Tech Matters I June 2026 Most insurance transformation programs already build a large part of a future data platform during migration. Then go-live happens. The project closes. And the platform gets decommissioned. Which raises an important question: Are insurers unintentionally throwing away one of the most valuable outcomes of their transformation program? In this edition of Tech Matter, we explore: • why migration platforms hold more long-term value than many organisations realise • how transformation programs already contain the
