Modernized Database Architecture for National Social Insurance Authority
Future-proofing Egypt's critical social insurance infrastructure by replacing a legacy DB2 mainframe system with a scalable, high-performance database.
The Challenge
The National Social Insurance Authority in Egypt relied on an aging DB2 mainframe system that was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain, scale, and integrate with modern applications. The system's rigidity hindered their ability to innovate and efficiently serve millions of citizens. A complete architectural overhaul was needed to ensure the system's long-term viability.
Our Solution
Our team architected a comprehensive modernization and migration strategy to replace the legacy system with a modern, scalable database architecture.
In-Depth System Analysis:
We conducted a thorough analysis of the legacy DB2 system, mapping out decades of business logic, data structures, and dependencies to inform the new architecture.
Scalable Schema Design:
We designed a new, normalized database schema optimized for performance and scalability, ensuring it could handle the country's growing transaction volume and support future feature development.
Phased Migration Strategy:
We developed a meticulous, phased migration plan to move data from the legacy mainframe to the new system with minimal disruption to critical social insurance services, ensuring data integrity and a smooth transition.
The Impact
The new architecture provided the National Social Insurance Authority with a robust, scalable, and high-performance platform. It significantly reduced operational costs, improved system reliability, and enabled the development of new digital services for citizens. This critical infrastructure modernization project ensured the long-term sustainability and efficiency of Egypt's social insurance system.
