Thipara
Portfolio administration and run-off management services for life insurers in the DACH region
Overview
Thipara is a policy administration and run-off portfolio management platform for life and annuity carriers in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. The platform is designed specifically for insurers holding closed or non-core life insurance portfolios who seek to modernize administration without divesting the underlying business.
The platform combines cloud infrastructure with insurance-specific software to deliver four service modules: end-to-end policy administration, cloud-based portfolio management, technical legacy migration, and consulting including actuarial and capital management support. Built on IBM cloud infrastructure and msg life software, Thipara operates as a shared-services model -- clients retain portfolio ownership while outsourcing administration to a specialized platform.
Thipara was established as a joint venture between ERGO and IBM, with msg life as the software provider and MEAG supporting asset management services. At launch, ERGO migrated more than six million contracts from its own subsidiary companies onto the platform. IBM transitioned from general contractor to IT platform operator in 2024.
