Case Study

Connexure XIL Platform

Modernizing a critical part of the integration ecosystem for the next generation of insurance technology.

Connexure

Our Client

Connexure needed to modernize a legacy communication platform used to exchange structured business messages between broker-facing and carrier-facing systems. Exchange Center supported critical workflows, but it relied on outdated technology, offered limited visibility into message flow, and made it difficult to onboard new partners or extend the platform efficiently.

The Challenge

The legacy Exchange Center had become both a business and technical bottleneck.

Connexure needed a platform that could replace the legacy solution and create a stronger base for future integrations without disrupting existing operations.

Limited visibility

Limited insight into message flow made troubleshooting slow and operationally painful.

Partner onboarding

Legacy integration patterns made onboarding new partners harder than it should have been and took week.

Platform scalability

Extending the platform for new message types and features was increasingly difficult.

Migration risk

The replacement needed to coexist with the active legacy environment during migration.

The Solution

XIL Platform

Clever Grapes worked with Connexure to design and deliver a next-generation communication layer responsible for routing, tracking, and managing message exchange across the Connexure ecosystem.

Modern REST APIs

Introduced standardized REST APIs and asynchronous communication instead of the older polling-heavy model.

Admin Portal

Built a centralized portal to improve visibility into message flow, delivery status, and failures.

Legacy Bridge

Delivered a bridge to the legacy environment so migration could happen gradually without service disruption.

Configurable Permissions

Added configurable permission management with a modern OAuth-based authorization model.

Business Outcomes

Modernized

Connexure gained a more scalable integration layer to replace a critical legacy communication model.

Visible

Operational visibility improved through clearer message-flow tracking, response status, and issue monitoring.

30+ Integrations

Partner onboarding was reduced from weeks to hours, enabling rapid future integrations.
