Case Study: QBE Insurance Group achieves end-to-end development environment deployment in under two hours with IBM UrbanCode Deploy

Deploying integrated, end-to-end development environments in less than two hours through automation

QBE Insurance Group, a global insurer operating across 31 countries, needed a scalable way to speed up infrastructure builds and application delivery for its development teams. Its manual, multi-team process for creating environments was slow, resource-intensive, and often took more than two months. QBE turned to IBM and IBM UrbanCode Deploy with UrbanCode Blueprint Designer to modernize and centralize deployment across geographies.

IBM implemented an automated, self-service deployment platform that let QBE developers rapidly provision and tear down end-to-end environments through a single portal. The results were significant: deployment time dropped from two months to under two hours for key systems, helping QBE save resources, reduce costs, and support more concurrent development. IBM’s solution also helped QBE advance its broader shift toward cloud and infrastructure-as-code.
