Seamless IT Transition: How APi Chubb Accelerated Growth with Oracle Cloud

Client

The client is a global leader in fire safety and security solutions, committed to protecting people and assets across the world. Following its divestiture from a major manufacturing conglomerate and acquisition by APi Group, a smooth IT estate migration became essential. This ensured business continuity, data integrity, and the uninterrupted delivery of Chubb’s high-quality, technology-enabled services.

Market Trends

The insurance and security industries are rapidly embracing cloud technologies to enhance scalability, cost-efficiency, and data management. Nearly 90% of organizations in these sectors leverage the cloud for advanced analytics, AI-driven insights, real-time operational efficiencies.

For companies undergoing mergers, acquisitions, or divestitures, IT transformation is a critical priority. Many operate under Transition Service Agreements (TSAs), which impose strict deadlines for system migration. Delays or inefficiencies in this process can lead to operational disruptions, increased costs, and data integrity risks. To ensure a smooth transition, organizations must align their IT landscape quickly, migrating legacy systems, maintaining data consistency, and integrating multiple applications within tight timeframes.

Need for Change

Post-divestiture IT transformations often come with tight deadlines, complex system integrations, and the risk of data inconsistencies. The client faced several key challenges in ensuring a seamless transition:

• Strict TSA timeline constraints: The mandated timeline under the Transition Service Agreement left no room for delays, requiring precise coordination to prevent costly overruns.
• IT system synchronization issues: With multiple applications and legacy systems in play, ensuring real-time synchronization across platforms was a challenge, leading to risks of downtime and operational inefficiencies.
• Data replication complexities: Migrating and replicating vast amounts of data across different database platforms posed risks of data loss, corruption, and inconsistencies, which could impact business continuity.

LTM Solution

• Leveraged Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as a scalable, agile platform to support the migration.
