Case Study: Allianz Germany accelerates app deployment with Cloud Foundry

Allianz Delivers Apps Faster in Digital Transformation

Allianz Germany, a large insurance and financial services company, needed to become more agile and customer-centric as digital disruption changed how people research and buy insurance. To improve speed and relevance, Allianz turned to Cloud Foundry as part of its digital transformation, aiming to deliver apps faster and better meet customer needs.

With Cloud Foundry, Allianz set up “garages” or digital factories where small, focused teams used agile methods, daily standups, and pairing to work on one project at a time. The result was a major improvement in delivery speed: app deployment moved from taking two or three days to production to just minutes, and the initiative grew from four people to nearly 200. Cloud Foundry helped Allianz gain executive buy-in and accelerate digitalization across the business.
