    through productivity and cost optimization

  • 20-second faster processing

    per client case

1.Client Overview

The Global Insurance Provider (confidential client) has been operating since 1998 and is part of one of the world’s largest and most stable financial groups. The company specializes in travel insurance, assistance services, and claim management, operating 24/7 across more than 30 countries. Its services include travel insurance, roadside assistance, health insurance for foreigners, legal assistance, and cybersecurity support for clients in the digital environment.

  • Number of employees: approximately 400

  • Geographic scope: International (30+ countries)

  • Motto:

    “Everyone directs their own life; for security and peace of mind, they have us.”

2. Business Challenge

The company needed to move its key applications from an on-premises data center to Microsoft Azure. The end of its existing data center contract, coupled with growing efficiency and security demands, created an urgent need to modernize its infrastructure. Without migration, the company faced risks of operational inefficiency, rising maintenance costs, limited scalability, and non-compliance with global IT standards. Legacy environments also posed increased cybersecurity exposure and constrained the company’s ability to innovate or adopt DevOps and agile methodologies.

3. Objectives

  • Assess application readiness for cloud migration.

  • Design a secure, efficient Azure-based cloud architecture.

  • Reduce operational costs and improve scalability.

  • Align with global standards for security, performance, and compliance.

  • Enable agile development and innovation across international teams.

  • Improved scalability, resilience, and compliance alignment.

4. Solution Delivered

KPCS Consulting executed a comprehensive ‘Move Applications to Cloud – Assessment’ project covering analysis, design, and proof of concept. The engagement included four structured phases:
  • Phase 1

    Current State Analysis: Assessed the on-premises environment, workloads, and dependencies.

  • Phase 2

    Target Design: Designed the future Azure architecture, including security, networking, and cost models.

  • Phase 3

    Proof of Concept: Verified proposed architecture and migration steps in a test Azure environment.

  • Phase 4

    Final Report: Delivered a detailed migration plan, timeline, and cost estimate for full-scale implementation.

The project leveraged advanced Microsoft tools such as Azure Migrate and Data Migration Assistant for accurate workload assessment and migration readiness. KPCS collaborated with the client’s global architects to ensure alignment with corporate IT and security standards, while creating a clear, cost-transparent migration roadmap.
