Case Study: American Fidelity achieves 3-day-to-30-minute per-device data migrations with Code42 CrashPlan

Code42 CrashPlan cuts per-device migration time from three days to 30 minutes

American Fidelity Assurance Company, a large group insurance provider with more than 2,000 employees and 700+ mobile account managers, faced a costly, insecure laptop-refresh process. Migrating data during bi‑annual device swaps was manual and time‑consuming—taking days per machine—while handling sensitive PII/PHI under HIPAA and other compliance rules made password‑sharing and slow hotel‑wifi restores unacceptable.

The IT team deployed Code42 CrashPlan on a private cloud, keeping encryption keys on‑premises and giving centralized backup visibility. Migrations that once took days now complete in about 30 minutes, restores work from any network, and reporting and access controls reduced IT overtime and professionalized the process—delivering fast, secure, auditable endpoint protection.
