Case Study: Empire Life achieves 30% higher developer productivity and $1.5M annual savings with OpenText Enterprise Developer & Enterprise Server

Empire Life - Customer Case Study

The Empire Life Insurance Company is a Canadian life insurer that relied on a decades-old mainframe and a growing array of legacy environments, creating high support and maintenance costs and limiting agility. Facing the need to simplify its production landscape, reduce costs and become more responsive to business demands, Empire Life set out to move off the mainframe and adopt a DevOps-ready approach.

With Micro Focus Professional Services, Empire Life migrated and modernized applications using Micro Focus Enterprise Developer and Enterprise Server, integrated GitHub and JIRA for automated source control and issue tracking, and virtualized infrastructure with Nutanix to improve disaster recovery at one-third the previous cost. The transition delivered a 30% increase in developer productivity, up to $1.5M in annual savings, improved product quality, greater team collaboration and a clear path to DevOps.
