Case Study: Arek Oy achieves greater scalability and lower costs with Google Cloud and Looker

Arek Oy Modernizing Finnish pension management through the cloud

Arek Oy, a Finland-based provider of IT systems for pension insurance, needed a hybrid cloud approach that could improve scalability and agility while keeping data protected and compliant. To address these challenges, Arek Oy worked with Looker as part of its Google Cloud environment, alongside partners like Tietoevry and Accenture, to modernize core applications and support faster pension services.

Looker helped support Arek Oy’s cloud transformation by enabling better data visibility and decision-making within the broader Google Cloud solution, while the vendor ecosystem implemented Anthos-based migration and a new scalable DevOps approach. The results were significant: Arek Oy cut mainframe use by 50%, achieved 0.4-second response times for key code, and now manages more than 160,000 events per week with improved scalability, lower infrastructure costs, and faster service delivery.
