Case Study: Farm Mutual Reinsurance Plan (FMRP) achieves real-time JD Edwards integration and improved operational performance with Magic Software's uniPaaS and iBOLT

FMRP Uses Magic's Technology to Develop and Integrate JD Edwards on IBM i for Improved Operational Performance

Farm Mutual Reinsurance Plan, Inc. (FMRP), founded in 1959 and owned by more than 60 rural mutual insurers across eight Canadian provinces, had grown assets over $400M and annual premiums over $150M. Over time the company saw manual fixes and daily batch work accumulate: JD Edwards ERP and a third‑party claims system required nightly synchronization, creating 24+ hour processing delays and increasing operational risk—what the IT manager described as problems that crept up like “frogs in a cold pot of water.”

To fix this, FMRP implemented Magic Software’s uniPaaS application platform and iBOLT integration platform alongside its own professional services on the IBM i. The integration eliminated manual batch bottlenecks, delivering faster and more reliable data flow, improved responsiveness, greater efficiency and reduced risk—boosting customer and employee satisfaction and producing a custom system whose business value far exceeded its cost.
