RNext uses a REST-based API architecture, making it cloud-ready and interoperable. REST interfaces can now be used by any device, are stateless and use the HTTP protocol. The first prototypical developments have already been implemented in the two digitalisation projects – claims and portfolio processes. This also creates new data models and structures.
The domain-driven design approach enables appropriately defined models for the intended use, which are provided by a REST API. This domain step reduces the effort that was previously required to implement total releases, accelerating the development and overall digitalisation of the industry. The aim is to simplify the extensive professional and technical development of interfaces.
The interpretation of the standard documents from RClassic thus gives way to an API description that will define the standard in the future: the source code. This is made possible by a consistent intersection of data models along domains – such as claims or portfolio process – and by using the latest technologies and frameworks established in software development. These standardised modules can be obtained and used directly from BiPRO and make integration much easier than in the past.
