Overview:
DB2 pureXML(tm) enables companies to store XML data natively in DB2, either alone or alongside relational data.  This provides many benefits to insurance companies that are transmitting and processing XML data in their business today.  XML data comes into an insurance from many sources including industry standard messages such as ACORD, electronic forms (e-forms), or Service Oriented Architecture applications and web services.  Each of these use XML as a data structure yet many insurance applications spend a lot of personnel and processing time dissecting or converting the XML data.  With DB2 pureXML, the XML data can be stored, protected, queried, and analyzed within a database that is optimized for XML eliminating the complexity and effort of conversion. This site enables you to learn more about DB2 pureXML and how it can help insurance firms solve critical business problems.
