Case Study: COPIC Insurance achieves 50% cost savings and a nine-month mainframe-to-Oracle migration with Informatica

Medical insurance provider uses Informatica to connect data and achieve 50% saving over custom-coded solution, automation of previously manual maintenance tasks and ROI in less than two years

COPIC Insurance provides liability coverage to medical professionals, hospitals, and health care organizations in Colorado and Nebraska. Facing competitive pressures and a need for faster, easier access to business information, COPIC had to migrate from a mainframe to an Oracle platform, build and populate a data warehouse, and improve operational and strategic reporting — all without in-house Oracle expertise.

Using Informatica PowerCenter to access, integrate, and deliver data without hand coding, COPIC completed the migration in nine months with just two developers, automated previously manual maintenance tasks, and delivered a 50% cost saving compared with a custom-coded approach. The project paid for itself in under two years and significantly improved reporting and responsiveness to market changes.
