Case Study: IAG (Insurance Australia Group) transforms to real‑time customer data and cuts data‑center costs 30–50% with Dell Technologies PowerFlex

IT transformation drives business value through data innovation

IAG, the largest general insurance group in Australia and New Zealand, was held back by legacy infrastructure that kept data in back‑office, batch processes and limited customer‑facing, real‑time services. To modernize with a performant, scalable platform and low management overhead, IAG chose Dell Technologies’ Dell EMC PowerFlex software‑defined platform (with Dell EMC PowerEdge servers and Dell EMC PowerSwitch networking).

Dell Technologies deployed PowerFlex across IAG’s OpenStack and Kubernetes environments, consolidating about 15 data warehouses into one and enabling real‑time streaming, APIs and front‑office analytics. The solution delivered 100% uptime over three years, freed IT staff from routine storage management, and cut data‑center rack space and costs by an estimated 30–50%, letting IAG focus on higher‑value business initiatives.
