Case Study: Major Insurance Company achieves IT operational efficiency and real-time mainframe analytics with Precisely Ironstream for Splunk

Major Insurance Company - Customer Case Study

Major Insurance Company faced slow, manual processing of z/OS SMF records—offloading, extracting and transforming data with tools like SAS across multiple LPARs—which limited real-time visibility and made IT operations analytics difficult even after adopting Splunk Enterprise. The organization engaged Precisely to explore a more automated ITOA approach.

Precisely implemented Ironstream for Splunk to forward SMF and RMF data in real time into Splunk Enterprise, eliminating time‑consuming manual ETL and enabling expanded dashboarding and operational analytics. As a result, the customer gained enterprise-wide LPAR visibility, historical trending, correlation of MQ and CICS flows, and the ability to monitor CPU, zIIP utilization and the 4‑hour MSU rolling average to avoid licensed-capacity overages.
