Case Study: The Dutch Ministry of Defence achieves a harmonized IT landscape and reduced maintenance costs with OpenText Cordys

What if you could orchestrate all processes in one single integrated platform and streamline your existing 3,000 applications

The Dutch Ministry of Defence, one of the Netherlands’ largest employers with more than 78,000 personnel across navy, army, air force and support organizations, was burdened by an overly complex IT landscape of some 3,000 siloed applications. Facing tight budgets and the need for greater agility and responsiveness, the Ministry sought a single platform to orchestrate end-to-end processes, reduce maintenance costs and simplify change management.

The Ministry implemented OpenText Cordys, with Aquima’s business rules engine, as an integrated SOA/BPM platform to connect and modernize existing systems and automate key processes (e.g., HR leave, IT change, artillery fire support). This delivered increased flexibility, speed and quality, harmonized the IT landscape, reduced maintenance and change costs, and enabled uniform processes with real-time monitoring and data access.
