Süddeutsche Krankenversicherung (SDK), a private health insurance leader in Southern Germany, modernized its mainframe infrastructure to improve analytics and decision-making. Here’s how Rocket® Data Replicate and Sync (RDRS) made it possible.

Challenge

SDK’s COBOL and Assembler mainframe apps stored data in VSAM, which lacked compatibility with modern analytics and cloud tools. Limited expertise and real-time access challenges hindered business operations.

Solution

SDK used Rocket Data Replicate and Sync to securely replicate VSAM data to SQL databases. The intuitive platform enabled real-time access and integration with Azure and modernized operations without disruptions.

Results

SDK achieved 99.9% uptime, 50% faster project completion, and 75% reduced training time. Teams gained self-sufficiency and streamlined data access, which accelerated modernization and drove business value.
