Case Study: a large American insurance provider migrates 36 million documents to PDF with Pdftools

FileNet report manager migration at American insurance provider

A large American insurance provider faced the challenge of migrating 36 million mission-critical documents from an antiquated FileNet Report Manager system, which used an unsupported file format (.prm) and was housed on a soon-to-be obsolete server. They partnered with Pdftools, utilizing its Conversion Service API, to convert the files into valid PDFs and integrate them into a new operating system.

Pdftools provided a flexible and powerful programmatic API that was integrated into a custom migration toolset built by the integrator, consilium1. This solution enabled the successful migration of all documents in just four months, a task originally estimated to take over eight months. The insurance provider achieved a 15% reduction in annual operating and licensing costs by eliminating the need for the old software and server infrastructure.
