Case Study: a largest health care insurer achieves rapid data access and modernization with Ab Initio

An insurer needed IBM zSystems and rapid decision making. To get both, all they had to do was make IBM zSystems play well with other technologies without losing data

The largest health care insurer faced a significant challenge as its IBM zSystems took 72 hours to make data available for processing. This delay prevented timely patient eligibility verification and other key operations. After other solutions failed, the company turned to Ab Initio Software for help.

Ab Initio implemented a change data capture and messaging system that ran on the IBM zSystems. This solution provided immediate data access to other applications without modifying existing COBOL systems. As a result, data processing time was reduced from 72 hours to just a few seconds, enabling real-time decision-making and seamless integration with cloud technologies.
