Attunity’s out-of-the-box CICS adapter simplifies a convergence project for Xchanging Ins-Sure Services, a joint venture of Xchanging Ltd. with Lloyd’s of London and the International Underwriting Association (IUA). A judicious choice of integration strategy and technology gives Lloyd’s speed, savings, agility and a way to handle insurance claims more responsively.
Attunity Connect provides standard, bidirectional integration between a J2EE Application Server and the CICS-based claims processing engine. The team achieved instant productivity, leveraging standards such as J2CA and JDBC. Now Xchanging can add and fine-tune transactions without costly rework of the adapter or front-end.
