HCL Technologies announced it has won a five–year IT infrastructure services deal from Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group (JLT), a provider of insurance and related services to firms.
HCL will be implementing a fully orchestrated and automated cloud management platform with advanced automation capabilities, supported through HCL’s DRYiCETM platform.
HCL has been JLT’s infrastructure services partner since 2010, working to streamline the group’s IT systems and processes, which support over 10,000 employees in more than 40 countries.
The renewed agreement adds scope for further modernization across its operating environment and lay the foundation for a global hybrid cloud platform.
Through this deal, JLT expects to reduce its data center footprint by more than 50 percent, by implementing an all-flash storage array and cloud-based backups.
Commenting on this partnership, Conor Whelan, Group CIO, Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group, said, “The roadmap that HCL has laid-out will deliver a significant improvement of the current infrastructure provisioning model to achieve a faster and more cost–effective service, supporting enhanced times-to-market for business and enabling JLT to give a truly global service to our customers.”
