CCV provides flexible ownership solutions to independent insurance brokers and offers a wide range of general insurance products nationwide. It has successfully integrated over 60 acquisitions into the group, and continues to grow.

With regulatory compliance and security issues a major consideration, InTechnology’s private Cloud allows CCV to maintain control and manage its IT services with guaranteed service level agreements. Richard Norris, IT director, CCV said: “InTechnology advised us that it made good business sense to adopt Cloud services as we are a rapidly growing organisation and need our IT environment to grow at the same speed as our business.

“From a financial services perspective we need control over where our data sits – it absolutely needs to stay in the UK. Also, with concerns over security still being heavily debated around adoption of the public Cloud, the private Cloud makes it much easier to control the security and availability of our data.

“We’ve seen many benefits from the Cloud such as a significant reduction in our core data centre utilisation and the ability for us to grow our server estate in a much more flexible and dynamic model.

“The ability to provide resilient services across the estate is great, as is the knowledge that the back-end infrastructure is absolutely enterprise grade. Performance has been excellent and much better than we would have been able to provide ourselves.”

Natalie Duffield, sales and customer management director, InTechnology said: “A number of high profile, large corporations have recently suffered outages which have highlighted the important distinction between consumer-grade and business-grade Cloud services.

“In the future we are likely to see a shift from low-cost solutions to business-class solutions that are available 100% of the time.”
