MAIF Modernization Case Study Using Rocket Visual COBOL

This case study details the modernization efforts of MAIF, a mutual insurance company based in France, utilizing Rocket Visual COBOL to transition from a mainframe environment to a UNIX-based system. The primary challenge faced by MAIF was the need to simplify a complex IT infrastructure while ensuring transparency for users and minimizing risks to critical business solutions. The implementation of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) allowed MAIF to enhance its online presence and improve user experience through self-service capabilities. The case study outlines how Rocket Visual COBOL facilitated a seamless migration without altering existing business logic, thus protecting against the risks associated with rewriting or replacing systems. Additionally, the introduction of the COBOL Checkpoint Manager (CCM) ensured reliable transaction processing and improved system availability, achieving up to 20 percent faster processing times. Overall, the modernization strategy has positioned MAIF for future growth while maintaining operational integrity and service reliability.
