Case Study: Large Multi-Line Insurance Company achieves real-time operational visibility with Precisely Ironstream

Insurance Firm Gets Real-Time Operational Visibility with Ironstream for Splunk® on the IBM Z platform

Large Multi-Line Insurance Company faced a lack of real-time operational visibility across dispersed transaction systems: critical IBM Z platform logs (CICS, FTP, SYSOUT) were scattered and unavailable for centralized correlation and IT operations analytics (ITOA), hampering timely analysis and SLA compliance. To address this challenge the firm evaluated and selected Precisely’s Ironstream for Splunk to bridge the IBM Z data gap.

Precisely implemented Ironstream to collect z/OS logs, securely transform them to a common format, and stream them in real time into Splunk. As a result, the company gained real-time visibility across its entire IT infrastructure, integrated SYSOUT and FTP data via USS support, achieved meaningful correlation across z/OS sources for faster triage and application problem resolution, and standardized its operational intelligence capabilities enterprise-wide.
