Gerling Lebensversicherungs-AG (GKL) has been insuring people against life's little mishaps since 1922. As a result of changes on the market and technological innovations, Gerling developed a new system to manage its products and existing business with an anticipated go-live in 2005. The primary objective is the integrated control of all business processes. Non-integrated systems, which have so far been bridged manually, will make way for an integrated system. Gerling implemented these requirements by migrating its entire system. The mainframes changed over completely to OS/390 and IBM in the medium term with the old Siemens BS2000 machines being networked for use in the meantime. The mainframe architecture was turned into a client/server system with thin clients running on Windows XT and XP, a Java front-end and Internet add-ons.
