Proactive management
Focus on innovation
Introduction to our Solution
Over the past five years there has been a massive step change in perceptions of public cloud adoption in the insurance sector. Multiple firms are now entrenched in a hybrid cloud operating model or have plans in place to move to this model over the next 12-24 months.
This increases the workload burden on IT teams that are already overloaded. IT managers are now supporting a range of on-premise storage, compute and data protection platforms alongside their public cloud counterparts.
Headcount is not increasing to support the strategy; IT managers are forced to balance resources across multiple platforms. Often, neither the on-premise or the cloud infrastructure get the attention they require to ensure company systems remain fully secure and efficient.
Further compounding this, IT teams are also the driver of innovation; spending time on systems management holds back technical progression and inevitably makes the firm less competitive.
It’s becoming more challenging for companies to justify the investment in operational capability. Out tasking this is an ideal solution that frees IT teams to focus on business innovation.

- Protect your billable time – due to increased availability, access to expertise and skills, and constant tuning and improvement
- Manage data sprawl – our teams constantly evaluate the growth of your Core Data Records, what types of data are responsible for the growth and how often that data is accessed. We make recommendations on how to store your data, ensuring low priority data is kept on low-cost storage and deduplicated where possible.
- Fix first’ ethos – we won’t quibble over who’s responsible or who’s to blame. We’ll focus on fixing the problem. We’ll then discuss why it happened and how we make sure it doesn’t happen again.
- Innovation & faster growth – because your IT team can focus on special projects without worrying about maintaining infrastructure.
- Active-active patching – our systems let us conduct active-active patching on certain types of infrastructure. This means that systems don’t need to be taken offline at any point in the day or night, as load is transferred between nodes.
- Our premium support services are in line with ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library), a set of detailed practices for IT service management that focuses on aligning IT with the needs of business.
- You get your own, dedicated service delivery manager, a named individual who directly supports you and coordinates support resources throughout your contract.
