Realizing the only way to move forward was to dramatically improve theway it did business and unlock the untapped human capital that laywithin, Suncorp made a strategic bet on storage to ignite itstransformation.
"We looked to NetApp not only as a technology partner to help us achieve greater business flexibility and efficiency, but to help us materially change the way we do work," said Jeff Smith, CEO, Suncorp Business Services. "We have a strong belief that the companies we partner with are companies that we aspire to be like. From the start, NetApp has been built on innovation and has always believed in pushing the boundaries of what is possible with a single goal in mind: customer success. That is where we wanted to be."
Working side by side with NetApp, Suncorp transformed its business by migrating 80% of its entire IT environment onto a sharedinfrastructure, creating a large virtualized private cloud. Coupledwith new agile methodologies and processes, this shared infrastructure provided the foundation that has delivered significant effects on the efficiency, flexibility, velocity and success of Suncorp's business while eliciting an entire culture of innovation that is changing the pace of business.
