Case Study: Hymans Robertson achieves scalable, cost-saving IT and improved collaboration with Microsoft Azure

Microsoft technology boosts efficiency at Hymans Robertson

Hymans Robertson, a leading UK pension consultancy, needed to control hosting costs tied to fixed-term contracts and improve communications for consultants who frequently travel between offices and client sites. The firm sought a flexible, cost-effective IT approach to support its interactive retirement-planning platform and dispersed workforce.

By adopting Microsoft Azure to scale capacity on demand, Hymans Robertson reduced potential capital expenditure on on‑premises data centres, while Skype for Business (and a migrated PBX) unified communications across the company. Combined with Surface Pro 3 devices and Office 365 collaboration tools, these changes streamlined operations, cut costs, sped up service delivery and reinforced the firm’s market-leading position.
