EFU General Insurance Ltd. (EFU), Pakistan’s leading non-life insurer and
the parent company of insurance organizations of the EFU Group, has
selected the Sun Oracle Database Machine to modernize its IT systems
and serve as the underlying data and storage infrastructure for its new
insurance application.
EFU is replacing its legacy system to respond better and faster to
business challenges. With Oracle, EFU will be able to open more sales
channels via the Web and facilitate integration with other companies. As a
result, more quality services can be offered to its customers via the Web
because of the more agile and reliable IT infrastructure.
Oracle Data Integrator eases the migration of EFU’s legacy data to its new
system and enables EFU to build its data warehouse on Oracle Exadata
V2.
EFU’s new core insurance application will be centrally deployed on Oracle
WebLogic Suite 11g and accessed by EFU’s country-wide branch
network. This helps EFU to reduce the cost associated with diagnostics,
configuration, and deployment on EFU’s production servers.
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 and Oracle Real Application Clusters on
the Sun Oracle Database Machine offers unmatched system performance,
optimal utilization of IT resources and a scalable architecture that can
grow with EFU.
Oracle Enterprise Manager with Diagnostic, Provisioning and Tuning
Packs, allows EFU to automate its application tuning process, simplify the
task of managing large sets of databases, and manage critical data center
operations cost effectively.
In addition, a centralized IT environment will offer the EFU management a
real time view of key information, enabling EFU to analyze business
trends and make timely decisions.
Sidat Hyder Morshed Associates (Private) Limited, a member of the
Oracle PartnerNetwork, was selected as the business partner for this
deployment.
