Case Study: Cigna achieves data center consolidation and $2M in annual savings with Align

Cigna saves $2 million and migrates 3,500 VMs with Align

After acquiring eviCore, Cigna faced the challenge of consolidating and migrating the company's digital infrastructure from multiple data centers into its own facilities. The project, managed by technology infrastructure provider Align, involved overcoming significant hurdles including supply chain delays, a complex architecture, and knowledge gaps from departed staff. The goal was to achieve a seamless migration while minimizing operational disruptions.

Align executed a meticulously planned solution, performing a comprehensive assessment and migrating 3,500 virtual machines across 33 distinct waves. The results were substantial, with Align helping Cigna reduce annual expenses by $2 million, minimize technical debt, and improve overall security and cloud readiness. This consolidation and modernization effort by Align provided Cigna with a more efficient, scalable, and robust IT infrastructure positioned for future growth.
