The Bureau of Labor Insurance Creates a Robust Labor Protection and Service Network

Overview

Established 57 years ago, Taiwan's labor insurance service now covers a record-breaking 8.79 million people. To cope with increasingly complex business content and fast-growing data volumes, the BLI is changing the architecture of its IT systems. The business is moving from a closed mainframe environment to an open Unix platform. The five-year transition began in September 2005. With application data volumes reaching 6 terabyte and the data warehouse up to 8 terabyte, the BLI has progressively upgraded its database from Oracle8i to Oracle9i to Oracle 10g. It has also introduced the latest grid computing technology to enhance the overall usability, reliability, stability, and manageability of its systems.
