Project Description

Xorbix partnered with a leading insurance provider known for delivering comprehensive coverage and services to homeowners, automobile owners, and businesses. The client’s extensive web application ecosystem supports daily customer and employee operations from policy issuance and claims processing to data-driven decision-making.

To modernize operations, the client needed expert support in revitalizing their core application without disrupting ongoing services. Leveraging Xorbix’s custom software development, application modernization, and enterprise integration services, our team worked closely with the client to enhance functionality, streamline workflows, and ensure system scalability across departments.

Challenge

Problem

1. The client’s existing application architecture had become complex and fragmented across multiple platforms.

2. Multiple internal and external systems operated with inconsistent data flow, causing inefficiencies.

3. Existing legacy modules required modernization without disrupting daily business processes.

4. Lack of unified documentation created gaps in understanding system dependencies and workflows.

5. Operational challenges emerged from maintaining productivity while upgrading critical systems.

6. The client required an external team that could quickly learn and operate their system like an in-house unit.
