Case Study: Large U.S. Fortune 100 Insurer achieves a maintainable, efficient middleware environment and faster time-to-market with TIBCO Software (Silver Fabric)

Leading Insurer Secures a Maintainable, Efficient Middleware Environment

A large U.S. Fortune 100 insurer was burdened by a legacy middleware sprawl built up since 2005—dozens of technologies, frequent customizations, slow enablement, and rising total cost of ownership. The IT organization wanted a holistic shift to a platform-as-a-service to standardize the environment, reduce legacy buildup, and make middleware management faster and more maintainable.

Partnering with TIBCO to deploy Silver Fabric (PaaS) with minimal application changes, the company standardized across virtual and physical resources, enabled continuous integration, and gained flexibility to choose technologies. The result: much faster time to market (new stacks added in months instead of ten months), dramatic operational gains (patching hundreds of servers in eight hours vs. months), reduced server footprint and costs through on‑demand scaling, and improved risk management and innovation capacity.
