AJ Gallagher Partners With Sutherland to Unlocks Efficiencies With Zero-Cost Cloud Migration, Achieving 42% Reduction in Cloud TCO

Learn how AJ Gallagher, a global insurance firm, achieved a successful, risk-free migration through Sutherland's unique zero-cost pricing model, delivering measurable results.

The Challenge

Costs And Complexities A Hurdle To Migration

AJ Gallagher is one of the largest insurance brokerage, risk management, and consulting firms worldwide, with operations in 49 countries and over 34,000 staff.

To keep up with the demands of a sector as fast-paced and competitive as insurance, the company needed to modernize its infrastructure, systems, and operations. Cloud transformation was the obvious answer, but high migration and subscription costs – and complexities around the sunsetting of legacy architecture and their existing contractual obligations – acted as a roadblock to success.

Business processes spanning multiple systems, countries, parties, and technologies, as well as a lack of a defined strategy around building and maintaining test cases, were a further challenge for the business.

The Outcome

Accelerated Digital Transformation for Greater Cost Savings and Business Value

Sutherland’s unique zero cost cloud migration offering helped our client seamlessly move to the cloud. The successful migration also came without the cost bubble typically associated with cloud subscription or migration services, or penalties caused by delays in implementation.

First, our team of global experts carried out a comprehensive assessment across all aspects of the organization – financial, technical, operational, security, and licenses – to recommend the most effective and efficient migration path to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Through our tailored “as a service” model – a self-funded transformation proposition – and the ability to provide single-vendor infrastructure and application support, our client was able to significantly accelerate the pace of their digital transformation and harness the agility needed to adapt to future change.

Our solution also incorporated an end-to-end test plan, with automated test case validation and data management that eliminated errors and failures during test executions and minimized the need for human intervention. Execution time was significantly reduced as a result, with less effort required to build and maintain test cases.

Finally, we implemented CloudTestr, our proprietary AI-powered test automation platform. This further transformed the client’s operations by enabling seamless compliance with internal and external audits through real-time access to test activities and results. That’s digital performance unlocked and measurable results delivered!
