JLT och HCL Technologies i femårigt IT-infrastrukturavtal
Stockholm, 14 november, 2017 – IT-konsultföretaget HCL Technologies (HCL), har ingått ett femårigt avtal med Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group (JLT), en av världens ledande rådgivare och mäklare inom försäkringar och anställningsförmåner. Avtalet omfattar IT-infrastrukturtjänster, inklusive implementering av en helt automatiserad molnhanteringsplattform. Plattformen baseras på HCL’s DRYiCETM. Dessutom kommer HCL att fortsätta att tillhandahålla IT-supporttjänster.
HCL har varit JLT:s infrastrukturpartner sedan 2010, och har samordnat JLT:s IT-system och processer för de 10 000 anställda i fler än 40 länder. HCL:s kunskap kring denna komplexa teknik har bidragit till att JLT nu har skrivit på för att ytterligare modernisera sin verksamhet och lägga grunden för en global hybridplattform för sin molnsatsning. Som en del av detta kommer JLT att effektivisera sina datacentersatsningar med 50% genom att implementera avancerad flashlagring och cloudbaserad backup.
- Vi har jobbat ihop med HCL de senaste sju åren, vilket bland annat innebär att vi nu kan implementera ett IT-ramverk som är strömlinjeformat för vår globala verksamhet, säger Conor Whelan, Group CIO, Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group. Vi fortsätter nu att investera i modern, snabbrörlig och skalbar teknik så att vi kan effektivisera vår infrastruktur med hjälp av funktioner för automation. HCL hjälper oss att förbättra vår befintliga infrastruktur avsevärt så att vi kan erbjuda snabbare och mer kostnadseffektiva tjänster, korta ner time-to-market och erbjuda verkligt globala tjänster.
- Vi är glada att fått förtroende att hjälpa JLT att effektivisera genom att standardisera och strömlinjeforma verksamheten med hjälp av optimal data- och systemhantering. De moderna tjänster som vi inför hos JLT baseras på vår Mode 1-2-3-strategi, säger Sandeep Saxena, SVP – UK & Ireland, ITO, HCL Technologies. Vår unika förståelse för hur dagens företag fungerar kombinerat med vår kundfokuserade approach till IT-tjänster är faktorer som kommer att ligga till grund för JLT:s fortsatta framgångar.
