The Customer<\/h3>\n

Fremtind Forsikring AS operates as an insurance company in Norway, offering non-life and personal insurance policies for individuals and businesses. Their core application runs on the IBM i platform, managing one million customers. The system is enhanced and maintained by a development department of more than 20 staff. As more and more developers reach retirement age, the IT department started recruiting young people – with surprisingly good results.<\/p>\n<\/div>
