Some history about products in the insurance space

Some learnings I got today after some bumpy calls with a client.

We had a call to demo a couple of AI tools to an Indian client. They work with Ingenium and the person doing the demo used a couple of comments about Integral product (another product family from DXC).

One of the clients that is old enough commented that he did not like the examples related to Integral and reminded us that Integral was a competitor.

We saved the situation, and after the call I called one of the experienced DXC guys on the call. I asked about the comment and he commented me that Ingenium is a product family that comes from the CSC days and Integral came from HPE, and in the old days they were fierce competitors in the segment, especially in APAC.

I could not resist the temptation to ask for other examples of integrations by acquisition and this person gave me another example.

Vantage/wmA and CyberLife used to be fierce competitors as well. Vantage was developed by a company called Vantage Computer Systems and CyberLife was developed by a company called CyberTek

Vantage was acquired by DST which sold us to The Continuum Company which was acquired by CSC

CyberTek was acquired by PMSC which was acquired by Mynd which was also acquired by CSC
