Case Study: Lockton Company achieves faster disaster recovery and lower maintenance with Veeam

Insurance Broking Firm Deploys Veeam to Support IT Transformation and Greater Customer Assurance

Lockton Companies, a large insurance brokerage firm, faced industry pressure to transform its IT operations and needed a modern availability solution to support its shift to a 100% virtualized environment. A legacy backup system was inadequate, taking days to perform restores and posing a significant business risk. The firm required a cost-effective solution from a vendor like Veeam to ensure data protection and guarantee rapid recovery times for its customers.

Lockton implemented the Veeam Availability Suite, which was simple to install and manage. The Veeam solution drastically reduced system restore times from days to just a few hours and cut maintenance overhead by 75%. This reliability allowed Lockton to offer customers a guarantee of its IT recovery capabilities, boosting trust. The swift deployment across seven sites in three months further demonstrated Veeam's effectiveness, freeing IT staff to focus on revenue-generating initiatives.
