Challenges

Following its acquisition of a Dutch insurance broker, the private equity firm BlackFin needed to separate the broker’s IT landscape from the former parent organisation quickly, while preserving business continuity. Early planning highlighted several key risks, including dependencies on ageing infrastructure and multiple legacy systems resulting from prior integrations. The carve-out program required dedicated support for the technical delivery of the separation.

Approach

  • We participated into the separation strategy and cloud target architecture, establishing a fast and low-risk path to independence
  • We designed and implemented the cybersecurity framework and selected the server, workspace and network providers required for the new independent company
  • We migrated the full infrastructure estate from the global parent environment to a standalone cloud platform
  • We ensured continuity across core insurance applications by applying deep expertise in leading Dutch insurance solutions
  • We supported securing delivery through hands-on program support, including planning, RAID management, and workstream coordination

Results

IT carve out completed: 

  • 1 month ahead of schedule
  • 20% under projected budget
  • With modern, scalable cloud foundation, aligned to the future target architecture and ready for long-term transformation
