Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group (
JLT) has a new five-year IT infrastructure services deal with longstanding partner HCL Technologies (HCL).
The global IT services company, JLT’s infrastructure services partner since 2010, will implement a fully orchestrated and automated cloud management platform with advanced automation capabilities as part of the new agreement. HCL, which has been streamlining the insurer’s systems and processes, will continue performing its IT service desk function.
“We’ve formed a close working partnership with HCL over the past seven years, which has enabled us to introduce this blueprint for global consistency across our IT operations,” said JLT group chief information officer Conor Whelan. “We are now further investing in modern, agile, and scalable technology to transform our infrastructure with automation capabilities.”
Whelan continued: “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.”
JLT, which employs more than 10,000 people, operates in 40 countries and offers risk management and employee benefit solutions.
