What Nova is
A third-party modernization platform for insurers on the Ingenium life core. It integrates with and gradually upgrades your existing system — it does not replace or touch your Ingenium licence or source.
For insurers running the Ingenium core · COBOL · AIX · MQ
Nova brings your legacy COBOL/Ingenium platform into a modern toolchain: automated deployments, REST APIs, and cloud-ready infrastructure. Proven in production with a real AIX-to-Linux migration completed in ~9 months and deployment time reduced from ~3 hours to ~20 minutes.
Keep your Ingenium logic · Deploy on cloud, on-prem or hybrid · No vendor lock-in
If you run Ingenium, here is exactly what this is, the problem it solves, and where you start.
A third-party modernization platform for insurers on the Ingenium life core. It integrates with and gradually upgrades your existing system — it does not replace or touch your Ingenium licence or source.
Legacy COBOL on AIX with hour-long compiles, manual deployments, no REST APIs, and a shrinking COBOL talent pool — all slowing product launches and raising run-cost.
Nexus: a VS Code toolchain that automates COBOL builds, deployments, and environment management. Hours become minutes, and COBOL becomes AI-assisted inside a modern IDE.
Built from a real Ingenium-to-cloud migration completed in ~9 months. You keep full IP ownership; deploy on cloud, on-prem, or hybrid. No vendor lock-in.
These slow product launches, raise run-cost, and increase operational risk.
Small changes trigger long compiles. Releases are slow, and engineers wait instead of shipping.
Proprietary AIX, IBM MQ and WebSphere carry high licence and maintenance cost, and the COBOL talent pool keeps shrinking.
Releases and environment setup are manual and drift over time — the same test passes in one environment and fails in another.
Without REST endpoints, connecting to digital channels, bancassurance partners, and new products needs fragile workarounds.
Every benefit maps to a specific operational change — not a slogan.

Reference rollout status
You start with the Foundation and Nexus, see results, then decide how far to go. No forced timeline, no big-bang.
Prerequisite
Move Ingenium from AIX to Linux (cloud or on-prem). Proven in ~9 months. This is the base every later phase builds on.
Available now
VS Code DevOps toolchain: automated COBOL compilation, deployments, environment management, and encrypted credentials. A representative deployment moved from ~3 hours to ~20 minutes.
In development
Expose Ingenium as REST APIs, remove MQ middleware, and begin migrating critical logic from COBOL to high-performance Rust.
Planned
Modern React interfaces for customers and agents, replacing legacy JSP screens with a responsive digital experience.
Planned
Full re-architecture of business logic and data into a completely modern, cloud-native insurance platform.
Multi-year programme, very high budget, high failure risk
Run-cost keeps rising and the COBOL talent gap widens every year
Consulting-heavy, without hands-on Ingenium/COBOL migration experience
6-week Windows-first POC for fast executive visibility, then 6-month trial continuation under governance gates
Start with a scoped POC on one of your own Ingenium flows — prove the build-and-deploy improvement before committing to anything bigger.
