modulāras sistēmas

SEB Life & Pension Baltic SE is one of the leading life insurance and pension providers in the Baltics. Their digital platform plays a crucial role in delivering products across several countries, making system modernization essential for long-term growth and operational efficiency.

The Challenge

SEB’s core system was a monolithic legacy platform developed many years ago. Over time, it has become increasingly complex, difficult to maintain, and slow to adapt to new business needs. This introduced several strategic challenges:

  • Slow and resource-intensive launch of new products
  • Increased security risks due to outdated architecture
  • Country-specific environments that required additional operational effort

The aging system had become a bottleneck to innovation, restricting SEB’s ability to respond quickly to evolving customer expectations.

Our Solution

LTECH partnered with SEB Life & Pension Baltic SE to deliver a comprehensive modernization programme focused on transforming the legacy monolith into a flexible, secure, and scalable microservices-based platform.

Key elements of the solution included:

  • Migration from monolithic architecture to modular microservices
  • Adoption of a modern and future-ready technology stack
  • A structured roadmap, delivering an MVP in 9 months
  • Improved integration capabilities with CRM and legacy components

The goal was to build a platform capable of supporting SEB’s long-term digital growth and innovation across all markets.

  • Accelerated launch of new insurance products across markets
  • Reduced system complexity and operational overhead
  • Stronger security through modernized architecture
  • Improved scalability for expanding business needs
  • Lower long-term development and maintenance costs

This transformation positioned SEB to innovate faster and operate more efficiently in a rapidly evolving financial services landscape.

In addition, the modernised platform enabled SEB Life & Pension to launch the award-winning Next Generation Pension (NGP) solution, which received multiple international recognitions in 2025 for its outstanding digital experience and innovation.
