Fortune 500 Insurance Company Case Study: Improving Third-Party Visibility, Resiliency, Agility and Cost Efficiency Across a Complex Global Environment
A Fortune 500 global insurance company modernized its network by replacing a fragmented, hardware-heavy regional hub architecture with Alkira’s Network Infrastructure-as-a-Service, enabling a unified, cloud-delivered network fabric across 100+ countries. This transformation centralized governance and visibility for third-party connectivity, streamlined multi-cloud operations across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and significantly improved scalability, resiliency, and agility. By consolidating extranets and adopting an as-a-service model, the company accelerated partner onboarding and M&A integration from months to weeks while reducing operational complexity. The result was high-throughput global connectivity, consistent policy enforcement, and over $20 million in projected five-year cost savings driven by a smaller infrastructure footprint and more efficient operations.
