Improving enterprise system throughput by 12.5 times

throughput on the same hardware

2,000 → 25,000+ claims / server / day

The problem

High-volume medical claims processing was capped at around 2,000 claims per server per day. The processing path itself, not the hardware, was the ceiling on how quickly claims could clear.

What we did

Measure, isolate the true constraint, then redesign around it: the processing path was re-worked for high transaction volumes using message-driven architecture and search-optimised data access, with modernised CI/CD standardising build and release along the way.

The outcome

2,000 to 25,000+ claims per server per day, 12.5 times the capacity on the same hardware footprint. The win was not more infrastructure. It was finding the one bottleneck quietly capping the whole pipeline.
