Case Study: Allianz achieves faster time-to-market and lower costs with OpenText Deployment Automation

Allianz improves time to market at a lower cost with Micro Focus

Allianz, a global insurer whose AMOS shared-services team supports over 60 applications, faced rising costs and slowing time-to-market for its main retail application. Deploying three daily releases required manual Oracle and WebSphere work by highly paid DBAs and programmers—who spent up to half their time on deployments—creating a costly bottleneck the business could not sustain.

Allianz implemented Micro Focus Deployment Automation after a rapid POC, replacing manual steps with a single-click deployment that allowed release managers to run releases instead of DBAs and developers. The change cut deployment resource needs, lowered costs, accelerated time-to-market, freed technical staff to focus on higher-value work, and will be rolled out to additional applications.
