The Challenge

InsurTech Solutions was trapped in a digital experience gap. Their customers expected modern, self-service capabilities—instant policy access, claims filing, document management, and real-time updates—but the company's legacy mainframe systems were designed for agent-mediated interactions decades ago. Every policy inquiry, document request, or coverage change required a phone call or email to customer service, creating frustration and operational burden.

The business case for digital transformation was clear, but the path was treacherous. Traditional custom development would take 18-24 months and cost millions, the existing mainframe systems couldn't be replaced outright due to business continuity risks, the IT team lacked the capacity to build and maintain complex web applications, integration with multiple third-party systems (payment processors, document management, identity providers) was essential, and the solution needed to be production-ready in months, not years, to stem customer attrition.

InsurTech Solutions needed a technology approach that could accelerate development without sacrificing quality, security, or integration capabilities—a way to bridge the gap between legacy infrastructure and modern user expectations.

Our Solution

XCodeIT utilized OutSystems ODC's low-code platform to rapidly deliver a secure, feature-rich insurance portal with seamless legacy system integration:

Leveraged OutSystems' visual development environment and pre-built components to accelerate application development by 4x compared to traditional coding, delivering production-ready features in weeks instead of months.
Built robust API integration layer connecting OutSystems frontend to mainframe policy systems, enabling real-time data synchronization while preserving the stability of core business systems.
Designed an optimized SQL Server database architecture for caching policy data, managing user sessions, and logging audit trails, reducing load on legacy systems while ensuring sub-second response times.
Implemented enterprise-grade authentication using Azure Active Directory with multi-factor authentication, single sign-on capabilities, and role-based access control aligned with insurance industry security standards.
Created an intuitive, mobile-first interface using OutSystems' responsive design patterns, enabling customers to manage policies, file claims, and access documents from any device without downloading separate apps.
Configured low-code business process automation for policy changes, claims processing, and document approvals, reducing manual handling by customer service teams and accelerating resolution times.
