Three-in-one Migration and Functionality Growth for US Insurance Top Player

A US insurance leader approached us with an ambitious project implying a complete application revamp and new features development. The business application provides functionality for real estate title insurance and reinsurance, which both client’s agents and partners use in their day-to-day work. 

Before Symfa joined the project the system had been under continuous development for 6 years and by that time it had grown significantly. But along with the growth, the app had become hard to maintain due to countless dependencies in the monolithic architecture. Another problem was that both frontend and backend components were running on unsupportable software versions, which was a source of potential security breaches. These issues impeded new functionality development the client needed to cover their evolving business requirements. To breathe new life into the system, the customer initiated a comprehensive application migration endeavor along with new features development. 

At the moment we continue supporting the legacy monolith application to ensure smooth day-to-day operations of the client’s staff. Approximately 70-80% of the functionality has already undergone migration, and the team consistently receives requests from the client for the delivery of new features.

We also initiated greater team involvement in the client’s business and metrics management, and the initiative was encouraged by the customer. 

Comprehensive system migration allowed us to accelerate the release time significantly and also alleviate the maintenance of the ever-growing system. The updated functionality aids the customer in streamlining the insurance processes and enhancing the efficiency of the field staff.
