To provide reliable, secure management of its customers’ pension information, German Pension Fund Baden-Württemberg operates an extensive pension management system on an IBM System z9 server, running the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system. The organization wanted to enhance this core management system by finding a more effective way to collect, archive and access the millions of paper-based pension records that it processed. By working with IBM Global Business Services to replace its two paper-based record systems with a highly efficient digitized archive, the organization which manages the statutory pension scheme for approximately 6.6 million citizens, can provide instant access to millions of pension records. The IBM solution helps speed access to data by more than 99%, supporting better customer service. By making use of existing resources and skills, this extra functionality is achieved at no extra cost. Read the case study here.
