By leveraging a service-oriented architecture (SOA), the Chinese insurer expects to benefit from greater efficiency and productivity within its IT operations.
Since 2005, Ping An has worked to systematically streamline its core business processes and automate data exchange between its various business systems. The insurer is using Fabric to integrate key enterprise systems, including its customer information file, which synchronizes client profile information between
different applications across its various subsidiaries.
Deployment of an enhanced business integration network is expected to
be completed later this year. Taking advantage of the ability within an SOA
to create more targeted composite applications that better address specific
business requirements, the company also expects to deploy a number of new
customer-facing applications during this timeframe. Ping An expects to
complete its overall transition to an SOA in the next two years using
webMethods’ Fabric.
We have focused on automating the business processes that have enabled
Ping An to better serve their customers while simplifying their
administrative processes, said Raymond Mo, general manager of webMethods Greater China.
