Hi everyone,

Today, we want to share MAIF's modernization story with you. MAIF, a major Spanish insurance company, successfully modernized its IT ecosystem without interrupting critical operations while boosting efficiency through innovative tools and processes. Here's how Rocket Visual COBOL made it possible:

Company

Founded in 1934, MAIF showcases a unique mutual insurance model where each of its 4.2 million members are both an insurer and insured. Renowned for their innovation and unwavering social commitment, MAIF continuously evolves to meet members' needs while fostering trust and responsibility.

Challenge

MAIF needed to replace the mainframe with modern, scalable infrastructure to improve processing, enable 24/7 availability, and enhance self-service without disrupting operations.

Faced with an aging mainframe at end-of-life, MAIF sought a sustainable architecture to support seamless migration while modernizing their system. The goals were to optimize performance, ensure continuous availability, and meet evolving user expectations. This transformation aimed to future-proof their infrastructure for long-term success, while also enabling greater scalability to adapt to growing demands.

Solution

MAIF used Rocket Visual COBOL on a UNIX-based SOA platform for scalability, supported by COBOL Checkpoint Manager to optimize batch processing and ensure secure, reliable performance.

MAIF implemented Rocket Visual COBOL to migrate their business logic onto a UNIX-based service-oriented architecture (SOA), ensuring future scalability and modernizing their IT framework. COBOL Checkpoint Manager enhanced batch and transaction processing, ensuring 24/7 availability with secure and seamless operations. These solutions provided a balance of legacy system reliability with modern agility, paving the way for future digital services.

Results

Rocket Visual COBOL and CCM improved MAIF's operations with 20% faster processing, stabilized 24/7 system performance, reliable batch restarts, and future-proofed modernization.

MAIF achieved remarkable results with the implementation of Rocket Visual COBOL and CCM, including 20% faster processing for large batch transactions, uninterrupted 24/7 system availability, and enhanced data integrity to protect sensitive information. By modernizing their systems gradually and strategically, MAIF ensured there were no disruptions to daily operations, allowing them to provide seamless, continuous service to their members. This approach not only improved efficiency but also reinforced their commitment to delivering reliable and secure solutions for their users.
