Case Study: Austbrokers Holdings Ltd achieves flexible, scalable ICT infrastructure with Interactive Pty Ltd

Flexible, scalable managed ICT infrastructure supports a growing, agile business

Austbrokers Holdings Limited, a major Australian insurance intermediary network, faced the challenge of needing a flexible and scalable ICT infrastructure to support its rapid growth and unique owner-driver business model. Their existing setup lacked the agility required, prompting CIO Theo Stevens to seek an external partner. The company chose vendor Interactive Pty Ltd to provide a managed infrastructure service, moving away from an in-house data center.

Interactive implemented a scalable, fully redundant hosted platform using Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) from a Sydney data center, with a real-time disaster recovery system in Melbourne. This solution provided Austbrokers with the capacity to easily scale operations and ensured continuous system availability. The partnership with Interactive freed Austbrokers' internal IT team to focus on business-specific projects and user support, providing a solid foundation for future expansion.
