Who is Lumera 

For nearly twenty years we’ve partnered with Nordic Life and Pensions providers to revolutionize policy administration using the power of the cloud.

We’re helping the biggest Life and Pensions companies across Europe digitally transform with a combination of lifelong partnership, leading cloud-native technology and deep domain expertise.

And we can do the same for you.

The name Lumera reflects our position as a guiding light through complex digital transformation and a safe pair of hands for policy administration that spans generations. Lumera is formed from lumen, the Latin for light, and era, a long and distinct period of history.

Lumera history

The beginnings of Lumera dates back at the turn of the millennium, as the banking and insurance industries were slowly converging. Each side then had issues with dated cost structures and legacy systems designed for serving regulated markets.

A small group of likeminded pioneers recognized this as an opportunity, and that the time was right for breaking new ground: What if we could establish a common, yet flexible standard for the insurance industry? One that empowers insurers to take on their challenges and explore new business models and do so with significantly lower overhead costs.

These ideas were turned into action. The result is Inca, a versatile and extensible policy management environment that brings agility and control to life insurance and pensions providers, including their critical business processes and services.
