BKK ZF & Partner
The company health insurance fund, BKK ZF & Partner, emphasises Thin Clients to support insured persons for efficient administration and processing all instances
The company health insurance fund, ZF & Partner, can look back at a long tradition. The company health insurance for social security of employees came into being three years after establishing the ZF Friedrichshafen AG, which today ranks among the leading automobile manufacturer groups for motor power and vehicle engineering. At the time of establishing the company, the health insurance had 324 members. From this small beginning developed a strong insurance company. Today, the company health insurance fund, ZF & Partner, includes over 62,500 insured persons. To offer all members highly qualified services, it needs a corresponding extended and sophisticated IT infrastructure. Employees need access to all relevant data from over 110 workstations at 13 locations.

BKK Hoechst
BKK Hoechst strengthens the defensive power of its IT environment: server-based computing with IGEL Thin Clients optimizes administration and operational capabilities
The success story of BKK began in 1890. Hoechst AG was established as a social service to protect workers in case they became ill. Of the initial 2,160 members, membership of the Hoechst AG has grown to over 162,000. BKK Hoechst is a flexible and customer oriented insurance company with a reputable fiscal policy. With that in mind, the IT-management of the BKK tries to remain cost efficient, adding value to the business. Since 2002, BKK has gradually migrated to a server-based computing (SBC) environment in order to reduce overall IT costs.
