Optimizing IT Infrastructure with Observability for a Leading Insurance Company

ZENfra partnered with a leading insurance company to enhance its IT infrastructure by addressing key challenges, such as limited infrastructure visibility and inefficient incident management. Our observability solution, combined with contract management, asset lifecycle management, and AI/ML-powered insights, helped reduce operational expenses by 25%, resulting in annual savings of around $1.5 million. Additionally, the company mitigated potential losses exceeding $3 million annually from downtime, compliance issues, and inefficiencies. This comprehensive strategy not only resolved immediate challenges but also positioned the company for sustained growth and success.

Challenges Faced by the Insurance Company 

The company faced significant hurdles that impacted its operations, compliance, and financial efficiency:

  • Observability & Control: The lack of IT infrastructure visibility and gaps in asset tracking led to inefficiencies, manual errors, mismanagement, and increased operational risks.
  • Incident Management & Downtime: Inefficient troubleshooting and limited anomaly detection prolonged outages, affecting business continuity.
  • Data & Decision-Making Gaps: Fragmented data from multiple sources limited actionable insights, resource optimization, and capacity planning.
  • Compliance Risks: Ensuring regulatory compliance was challenging due to inadequate monitoring tools and manual processes.
  • Inefficient Contract Oversight: Without centralized contract management, the company struggled with missed renewal deadlines and suboptimal vendor agreements.

It ensures an up-to-date IT asset inventory, eliminates manual record-keeping, and centralizes the asset repository, enhancing reporting with a well-structured framework.
