Customer Success Story Corner: State of Michigan wins Award

The State of Michigan recently won the coveted InfoWeek 100 Award for its Sybase solution. The InfoWeek 100 Award is given each year as a way to recognize those top 100 organizations that have most effectively used technology to improve their business.

The State of Michigan 's Office of Financial and Insurance Services (OFIS) merged 3 agencies, 5 websites, and 14 different databases that previously were not interconnected. It increased overall efficiency and added new capabilities, such as online transaction options, to a previously outdated system. The Sybase solution consisted of PowerBuilder and Professional Services and it saved the State millions of dollars while ensuring taxpayers did not bear the burden of a major system overhaul. This project benefited the 150 OFIS employees who were able to complete their daily functions throughout the duration of the transition. Everyday, the updated system ensures the efficient supply of information to hundreds of thousands of Michigan citizens and serves as a model throughout Michigan , and across the U.S.
