Bajaj Allianz

HP Performance Center on SaaS meant that
Bajaj Allianz could ensure performance was
not degraded when the Oracle update was
implemented. By outsourcing the testing to
KPIT, Bajaj Allianz was able to complete the
project without having to invest in software
licenses, and without having to distract from
its own operations.
“The KPIT team helped us understand the
reports from Performance Center, and to show
us where queries in the database were causing
problems,” says Pal. “They were very good
and very helpful, and had excellent knowledge
of HP Performance Center. I appreciate their
commitment, and what they were able to do
with us in the performance testing within a
short period of time.”
When Bajaj Allianz could see there were no
more issues in the test environment, it went
ahead with the upgrade in its production
environment. Pal comments, “We completed
the upgrade, and now the system is running
very smoothly for our 4,000 users – we have
had no complaints.”
Performance doubled
Bajaj Allianz’s users are its insurance
agents, based at the company’s 1,500
ocesaroundIndia.Whileendcustomers
canvisittheocesorbuyalifeinsurance
policy online, in 90 percent of cases the
agent will visit a customer and take their
details,beforereturningtotheoceand
issuing the new policy using the Oracle
database system.
“You can get cheaper testing
tools, but HP provides much
higher quality.”
– Raj Kamal Pal, manager, Bajaj Allianz
With the previous Oracle 10g database,
this process could often take up to 15 minutes
– during which time the agent simply had to
wait for the system to respond before moving
on to the next screen. Following the upgrade
to11g,thistimehasnowbeeneectively
halved to only seven or eight minutes.
Detailed reports
“You can get cheaper testing tools,
but HP provides much higher quality,”
said Pal. “It generated reports that are
more detailed than any other tool, it can
ndissuesthatothertoolswouldmiss,
and it gave our development team better
information to help solve the issues than
any other tool could have achieved.
“HP Performance Center has better
compatibility with other tools, and gives
us more options for including add-ins which
can dig down right to the query level,”
says Pal. “It is also better than other tools
at identifying the objects of Oracle Forms.”
With the database upgrade project complete,
Bajaj Allianz is now planning to use
HP Performance Center for further software
tests within its life insurance business.
“We used HP Performance Center on SaaS
andfoundithighlyeectiveinourcase,
and we recommend it to be used by others
too,” concludes Pal. “The project was
completed on time, we were happy with
the report produced, and everything met
our requirements.”
