Case Study: Legal & General achieves a hybrid cloud and multi-cloud strategy with OpenLegacy

Legal & General streamlines hybrid cloud operations with OpenLegacy, deploying across OpenShift and AWS

Legal & General, a leading financial services group, wanted to modernize its IT infrastructure by separating its "softcore" ancillary applications from its "hardcore" mainframe systems. Their challenge was to migrate the softcore apps to a modern cloud environment like Microsoft Dynamics while improving the scalability of their mainframe-based claims processing systems, all as part of a long-term hybrid cloud strategy.

Using the OpenLegacy Hub platform, Legal & General automatically generated microservices-based APIs to expose their mainframe logic. This solution allowed them to implement a full hybrid architecture, deploying steady workloads to OpenShift and variable ones to a serverless AWS environment. The result for Legal & General was a streamlined multi-cloud operation that delivered significant cost efficiencies, faster time-to-market, and improved performance.
