Case Study: Revolutionizing Oracle Forms Migration for the Insurance Sector with ORMIT™-OpenJava

The Challenge: Modernizing Legacy Oracle Forms in the Insurance Sector

A leading insurance company faced significant challenges maintaining and enhancing its legacy Oracle Forms applications. This system is central to their policy management, claims processing, and customer service. However, the company struggled with:

• Outdated architecture that hindered integration with modern platforms.
• High operational costs, including Oracle licensing fees and specialized maintenance.
• Inefficient user interfaces, slowing down claims processing and policy issuance.
• Scalability limitations, restricting their ability to handle growing customer demands.
• Evolving security requirements, necessitating stronger, more flexible authentication and data protection measures.

The insurer needed a solution that would modernize their applications while meeting rigorous security and scalability demands. The organization faced significant challenges with a Limited Oracle Forms Manpower, Technological supportability, and Speed to Market - Corporate business alignment shifting away from Oracle’s lock-in.

After evaluating several options, the company selected RENAPS’ ORMIT™-OpenJava for its proven ability to transform applications while ensuring compliance with all security and operational requirements.
