Case Study: Harel Insurance & Finance achieves agile, secure infrastructure and faster time-to-market with VMware

Harel Insurance promotes culture of innovation

Harel Insurance & Finance, Israel’s largest insurance group (about 20% of the general market and 45% of health insurance, with 5,000 employees), faced the challenge of staying #1 in a concentrated, fast-changing market. Leadership set a digital-transformation goal to speed time to market, automate manual processes, improve monitoring and scalability, and enable omni-channel customer experiences without compromising existing channels.

Harel deployed VMware NSX Data Center, vRealize Automation and vRealize Network Insight to deliver micro-segmentation, network virtualization and infrastructure-as-code, allowing servers and services to be provisioned in minutes and environments to be stood up in days. The result is a more secure, agile and efficient IT platform with less maintenance, faster development cycles, a culture of innovation (examples include WhatsApp-based short-term car insurance), and the ability to rapidly scale and deliver new customer services.
