New pension laws in Norway provided an opportunity for Vital Forsikring ASA, a life and pension insurance company, to boost the number of subscribers to its products. But after several mergers, Vital found itself with a myriad of mainframe systems running different applications. The company decided to build a new pension application based on service-oriented architecture. By using Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006, Vital has combined different transactions available through its disparate systems and presented them to employees and customers as Web services in a single Web portal. Vital has improved customer service by ensuring that all transactions are completed successfully and by providing around-the-clock access to its pension products.
