Why Decerto

We understand
your business

We’ve been working with some of the world’s top financial institutions for more than a decade, and we’ve also built systems for industries from telecoms through gaming to satellite TV. We know the insurance business inside and out, and we’ll take the time to learn your business too. Our broad range of knowledge and skills in business and engineering lets us write programs that work in the real world.

We’re set up
to handle
complexity

We build and maintain the core systems that our clients in the financial industry use to handle millions of transactions every day. We know how to manage large teams, master complex architecture and handle high volumes of business processes. And we have experience in merging companies’ IT systems after acquisitions, migrating large structures and large quantities of data.

We build
for scalability
& efficiency

From the start of the design process, our systems are built to handle large volumes of operations. Our highly efficient products for the financial services industry include complex pricing algorithms that are understandable, flexible, efficient and easy for you to manage. We’ve built lots of them. And we’ve optimized a lot more.

We’re in it
for the long
haul

Since we set up Decerto in 2006, we’ve been growing at a steady pace. We choose our projects carefully, aiming for stable development. Our headcount has grown organically, without wild fluctuations. And that approach has paid off: some of our clients have been with us for more than 10 years.

We tell it
like it
is

Our philosophy of client relations is built on sincerity: no hidden costs, no inflation of our capabilities, no unrealistic deadlines, no minimizing risk. We don’t tell potential clients what they want to hear: our long-term clients keep coming back to us because they know we’ll tell them what they need to hear. And they know there will be no surprises.

Top clients

We’re the main provider of IT services to Generali’s Polish unit. We’ve been working with them since 2006, building dozens of modules, including the main systems that power their operations. We now work for Generali on an outsourcing basis, providing programmers, analysts and testers for a number of projects, including some where they play key roles.Thanks to the trust we've built with Generali over the years, they hired us to handle the merger of Generali and Proama’s systems, which we completed successfully. We were also responsible for the integration of their Generali Życie life-insurance unit, and Concordia Capital – another success.

We were selected by Mulesoft to start a Polish software center, and were asked to continued working with the company after its acquisition by Salesforce. Because of our insurance know-how, we’ve been assigned to integrate Mulesoft’s ESB with Guidewire. We work with Salesforce using the Team Leasing model – we take full responsibility for building the team and managing the project, reporting every few days.

We’re responsible for the key systems that support sales for Allianz’s Polish operations, along with the product catalog, the pricing engine and sales campaigns. We designed and implemented the architecture for the sales portal, including not only web-based tools for agents, but also replacement of the product module. Our solution helped Allianz slash time-to-market, allowing a vast range of business initiatives to be implemented without engaging the IT department. About 15 of our programmers and analysts are working with Allianz at any given time.

We’re the main supplier of software tools for Talanx’s Polish insurance unit, Warta. The sales portal we built is the primary web interface for agents selling Talanx policies; it has modules for property and life, a 360 degree client view and an ODS data management system. Since implementation, almost all of the company’s processes are now online and automated. At least 20 Decerto employees are working with Talanx at any given time, and as many as 50 depending on the intensity of the work. We build new modules, develop existing ones and provide system maintenance in the production environment.

We’ve been an outsourcing partner for gaming company IGT and its predecessor GTECH since 2012. Decerto provides programmers who work on gaming systems and support games of chance, working closely with the company’s Boston-based architects every day. Since the start of the relationship we’ve worked based on a framework agreement rather than project by project, and we’re valued for our ability to provide highly qualified specialists. Over the years we’ve built a deep relationship founded on trust.

For more than a decade we’ve been an outsourcing partner for PZU, Central Europe’s largest insurer. The company is running multiple projects at any time and constantly has high but rapidly shifting demand for programming and analytical talent. For this client, reaction time is key. We’re one of several suppliers, and whenever we receive an inquiry about programmers, analysts or testers, we respond with a list of several candidates, from which PZU chooses the ones that fit best. Dozens of our programmers have worked with PZU.
