Investment Case
Executive summary
Nova modernizes your Ingenium insurance core in stages — without a big-bang replacement. It is proven in production from a real AIX-to-Linux migration completed in ~9 months that reduced deployment time for a representative change from around 3 hours to about 20 minutes.
You start with a scoped POC on your own system, confirm the numbers, then decide how far to scale. Low risk in, measurable value out.

Project at a glance
| Leadership needs to know | Nova position |
|---|---|
| What it is | A third-party platform that modernizes Ingenium (COBOL/AIX). It keeps your logic, data and licence. |
| Program type | Phased modernization, not big-bang replacement |
| Where it stands | Foundation (AIX→Linux) proven; Nexus available now; Orbit in development; Vista/Apex planned |
| How you adopt it | POC-first, on your own system, with clear decision gates |
| Deployment | Cloud, on-premise, or hybrid — your choice |
| Commercial | You retain full IP ownership; no vendor lock-in |
The cost of standing still
| Legacy pain today | Business impact |
|---|---|
| Hour-long COBOL builds & manual deploys | Slow product launches, engineer time wasted |
| AIX / IBM MQ / WebSphere licences | High fixed run-cost that rises each year |
| Shrinking COBOL talent pool | Key-person risk and rising salaries |
| No REST APIs | Every channel/partner integration is slow and fragile |
What the investment buys
| Executive objective | Concrete Nova change |
|---|---|
| Faster product launches | Automated COBOL builds and one-click deployment (~3 hours → ~20 minutes) |
| Lower run-cost | Move off AIX/MQ/WebSphere to open Linux and reduce long-term legacy platform dependency |
| Digital & partner growth | REST APIs expose the core without MQ middleware |
| Reduced operational risk | Consistent, automated environments and controlled deployment windows (~5 minutes planned downtime per release) |
Why phased beats the alternatives
Investment decision gate
Proceed to the next phase only if the POC confirms, on your own system:
- A measurable improvement in build/deploy time for a real change
- Reduced manual effort and environment risk
- A credible 12–24 month economic case versus staying on legacy
Next step
Start with a scoped POC on one of your own Ingenium flows.
