Modernizes for the Future with Rocket^® Enterprise Suite and Rocket^® Reflection^® 

Company

Industry: Insurance

FIATC Seguros is a Spanish mutual insurance provider offering coverage for health, life, auto, home, and business needs. Founded in 1930, the company delivers flexible solutions backed by a strong national presence.

Challenge

Modernizing long-standing IT systems was no small feat. FIATC needed to update an intricate infrastructure while keeping operations uninterrupted.

Their IT environment relied on various programming languages (COBOL, RPG, VisualAge^®), creating immense complexity. Limited access to advanced analytics hindered decision-making, while increasing demand for mobility and online access outpaced the capabilities of their systems. These challenges required a bold yet carefully managed modernization strategy that wouldn’t disrupt daily operations or risk core business processes.

Solution

FIATC partnered with Rocket Software and HPE Pointnext to implement a comprehensive modernization strategy focused on risk management and business continuity.

The solution was built on Rocket's innovative technology stack, powered by Eclipse^®,  to support smooth and efficient development. Rocket^® Enterprise Developer and Rocket^® Enterprise Server enabled seamless collaboration between existing and modern code. Rocket^® Reflection^® replaced outdated terminal emulators, delivering modern, intuitive host access tools. Transitioning to a cloud-enabled infrastructure on Intel^®-based Windows^® systems streamlined IT operations. With comprehensive training, risk management, and thorough testing, the modernization was completed on time and within budget, positioning FIATC for future success.

Results

FIATC achieved measurable improvements in cost, process efficiency, and business agility.

Transitioning from a mainframe to a distributed environment allowed FIATC to reduce IT costs by 70%, lower operational expenses, and free up resources for innovation. Nightly batch processing improved by 30%, cutting downtime and boosting efficiency. The investment was recouped in under two years through savings and higher productivity. Developers now work on a unified platform, fostering collaboration and speeding up feature delivery. Consolidating data into a single SQL Server has improved analytics, facilitating better decision-making and supporting growth. The transformation streamlined infrastructure, improved performance, and embraced an agile, DevOps-focused approach to application management.
