Case Study: Sompo Japan Insurance achieves 30% backup cost reduction and stronger data protection with Veeam

Sompo Japan reduces data backup costs by 30% and protects vital operational data with Veeam

Sompo Japan Insurance, a Fortune Global 500 insurer with over 22,000 employees, relied on a mission‑critical contract management system that must be available 24/7 to process premiums, claims and payouts. To reduce high private‑cloud infrastructure costs, improve scalability and avoid any business disruption during a move to Microsoft Azure, the company sought a cloud‑ready data protection solution.

Sompo Japan chose Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure and, with partner Hitachi, migrated 800 VMs, automated backups for 100% of the environment via API integrations, and tiered data to Azure Blob Storage for long‑term retention. The deployment delivered faster, verified recoveries, multi‑cloud flexibility and stronger ransomware protection, and is projected to cut backup TCO by about 30% over nine years—freeing resources for IT innovation.
