IT Provider Transition Enhances Security for London Insurance Broker
Helping to digitally transform London businesses
Challenge: Ensuring a Risk-Free IT Provider Transition
An award-winning London-based insurance broker, renowned for bespoke insurance and risk management solutions, recognised the need to upgrade their IT infrastructure. Having previously benefited from a custom document management system implemented by Cubit Technology, they sought to further enhance their IT environment. The primary challenge was to transition IT providers without disrupting ongoing business operations or introducing new risks.
Solution: Strategic IT Migration with Minimal Disruption
The broker initiated a tender process, evaluating presentations from various London IT companies. Cubit Technology was selected due to its relevant experience and a comprehensive IT migration plan that prioritised minimal risk.
Collaborating closely with the broker’s software developer and operations team, Cubit Technology devised a detailed plan to:
- Migrate servers from the incumbent’s network
- Transition email services to Microsoft 365
Over several weeks, meticulous planning ensured all contingencies were addressed. The migration was executed over a weekend to prevent business disruption:
- Friday Evening: Setup of virtualised servers and email migration to the new platform
- Sunday: Updating all PCs to align with the new infrastructure
By Monday morning, the office operated on the new network without any disruptions, with all software applications functioning as required.
Outcome: Enhanced Security and Responsive Support
The successful migration led to:
- Improved Network Security: Upgraded server infrastructure bolstered the broker’s security posture.
- Responsive IT Support: As part of Cubit Technology’s full-service solution, the broker received high-quality, responsive support, aligning with their commitment to customer-centric service.
If your business is considering changing IT providers, Cubit Technology offers expertise to ensure a smooth transition with minimal risk.
