Overall Satisfaction with Db2
We have used the DB2 database for our property and casualty insurance project with one of the global insurers. We use the Guidewire insurance policy admin tool for our underwriting activity transformation and there we integrated Guidewire with db2 for data management of various global-level accounts. We did data mapping by first defining the database schema to align with Guidewire’s data model. Schema involves the creation of tables, indexes, and relationships by using Db2.
- Db2 integrates well with a Guidewire or any other policy admin systems in the insurance domain.
- Data synchronisation in db2 helps with data consistency.
- Integration complexity was a challenge because the Guidewire model was different.
- NoSQL databases are not much developed.
- Safeguard data integrity.
- Real-time monitoring.
We tried MS SQL. However, MS SQL is one of the most widely used in enterprise management. However, that is mostly compatible with Microsoft services and does not provide much strength with outside applications. db2 is also open-independent and compatible with cross-platforms, so it is beneficial.
