Crump Sabertooth Success Story Crump Insurance Services, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a multi-line wholesale insurance brokerage group covering the excess, surplus and specialty insurance marketplace. In 2007, Crump was ranked the #1 wholesaler in America by Business Insurance Magazine. Crump Insurance had a brokerage application custom developed several years ago on SQLWindows (Team Developer) 16-bit technology with approximately 125,000 lines of code. Years later, Crump found that the application required a significant amount of maintenance, often ran into performance issues, and as a 16-bit system, had become technologically obsolete. Sabertooth was used to convert 125,000 lines of code to 100 percent .NET. By migrating the application, rather than porting it, Crump was able to leverage its team of .NET programmers to optimize, extend and maintain the converted code. The Sabertooth team delivered a turnkey solution that also included full debugging, unit testing, functional testing and was ready for user acceptance testing within six months from the start of the project.

To increase the velocity of doing business within an organization, across organizations and even between companies, businesses have begun to deploy information systems that automate their critical business processes. These information systems do more than just application-to-application integration or workflow management. These systems combine human-to-human, system-to-system, and human-to-system activities into an integrated system, resulting in an automated representation of the business processes from end to end. In this type of “people centric” process automation system, the human participants (that is, people) must have access to a rich set of information so they can perform their decision-making or transactional tasks.
