Use Case · Insurance · IDP & Document Capture

How a global insurer put a protective layer over its document capture — observed, assured, self-healed.

A global insurer ran intelligent document processing worldwide — about 4.8 million pages a year into an IBM FileNet P8 repository. But IT was reactive: the help desk fielded a flood of calls, and the systems-management tools already in place couldn’t give the module-by-module view needed to run a business-critical capture system. The insurer wanted a protective layer that warns IT before users are impacted. Reveille delivered it — and cut trouble tickets by more than 50%.

  • Detects application issues before end users are impacted
  • Deep, module-by-module visibility across the IDP estate
  • Automated alerts — the protective layer IT wanted

The Challenge

They had monitoring tools — just not ones that could see inside capture

The insurer’s global IDP and document-capture deployment was business-critical, but IT ran it reactively. The help desk absorbed a steady stream of calls, and the team had little real visibility into whether the capture system was actually healthy.

It wasn’t for lack of tooling. The company already had several systems-management solutions — but they reported that servers were up, not whether the capture application was working. None of them provided the deep, module-by-module visibility needed to administer the system or to catch the issues that actually reached end users. What IT really wanted was a protective layer: automated alerts that would let them know about a problem and act on it before users felt it — turning a reactive help desk into a proactive operation.

The Shift

From a reactive help desk to a proactive protective layer

Reveille gave IT the capture-aware, module-by-module view its general-purpose tools couldn’t — and the automated alerts to get ahead of issues before users are impacted.

Before Reveille
Reactive IT
Found out about issues from a flood of help-desk calls
Generic tools, shallow view
Systems-management solutions, but no module-by-module depth
Little capture visibility
A business-critical system, largely unobserved
No early warning
Issues reached users before IT knew
Reveille
With Reveille
A protective layer
Automated alerts before end users are impacted
Module-by-module visibility
The deep view needed to administer the system
Bottleneck & metric insight
Valuable application metrics — especially during upgrades
50%+ fewer tickets
A help desk transformed from reactive to proactive
Technical Validation

What the protective layer actually does

Not another infrastructure dashboard. Reveille monitors, alerts, self-heals, and reports on the capture application itself — module by module, all the way to the repository it feeds.

Continuous monitoring

Watch the whole deployment

Proactive detection

Know before users do

  • Detects application issues before end users are impacted
  • Automated alerts straight to IT
  • The protective layer, working ahead of the user
Module-by-module

See inside the system

  • Deep, per-module visibility to administer capture
  • The depth generic systems-management tools lacked
  • Application health, not just “server is up”
Bottlenecks & metrics

Insight that guides change

  • Surfaces system bottlenecks
  • Valuable application metrics
  • Especially useful during capture upgrades

What the change was worth

Proactive monitoring didn’t just calm the help desk — it freed people and hours, with hard numbers the insurer reported.

Coverage

One protective layer — across every major IDP & capture platform

This story ran on one capture platform, but the blind spot is the same everywhere: IDP fails quietly, between checks, at the handoffs into ECM. Reveille brings hundreds of prebuilt, capture-aware tests to the platforms enterprises actually run.

FAQ

Common questions

What did this global insurer’s environment look like before Reveille?
The insurer ran a global intelligent document processing and capture deployment producing approximately 4.8 million pages a year into an IBM FileNet P8 repository. The IT group was very reactive, with a help desk taking a large number of calls and little visibility into the business-critical document-capture system. The company already had several systems-management solutions, but they did not provide the deep, module-by-module visibility needed to administer the system. What IT wanted was a protective layer — automated alerts that would warn them before end users were impacted.
What does Reveille do across IDP and document capture here?
Reveille acts as a protective layer over the capture system: it continuously monitors the global IDP and capture deployment and the repository it feeds, detects application issues before end users are impacted, and sends automated alerts to IT. It provides deep, module-by-module visibility to administer the system, and surfaces system bottlenecks and valuable application metrics — insight that proved especially useful while the team implemented capture upgrades. In short, Reveille monitors, alerts, self-heals, and reports across the IDP and capture estate.
How did Reveille reduce trouble tickets and overhead?
By detecting issues proactively and alerting IT before end users felt them, Reveille reduced trouble tickets by more than 50% with automated monitoring. The shift from reactive firefighting to proactive operations let the insurer reallocate 2 full-time employees to higher-priority tasks and cut manual overhead by 70 hours per week.
The company already had systems-management tools — why add Reveille?
General-purpose systems-management solutions told the team that servers were up, but not whether the capture application was actually working. They lacked the deep, module-by-module visibility needed to administer intelligent document processing. Reveille is purpose-built, capture-aware observability: it sees inside the application — module by module — and detects the issues that affect end users, which generic infrastructure monitoring misses.
Which IDP and document-capture platforms does Reveille support?
Reveille provides Content Observability across the major intelligent document processing and capture platforms, including ABBYY FlexiCapture and ABBYY Vantage, Tungsten TotalAgility (formerly Kofax), OpenText Intelligent Capture, IBM Datacap, and UiPath Document Understanding — with hundreds of prebuilt, capture-aware monitoring tests, plus coverage of the downstream ECM repositories the capture pipeline feeds.

Document capture runs the business of insurance. Reveille makes sure it holds.
