The situation
A PE firm introduced Resourcive to a newly placed CIO at a national insurance company in 2022, with a clear goal: get out of the data center business entirely. Legacy on-prem infrastructure plus an expensive MSP relationship were both standing in the way of a zero-footprint target.
Why this was hard without help
Moving off on-prem infrastructure while maintaining uptime, security, and disaster recovery posture is not a simple lift-and-shift, especially when the existing MSP relationship was itself part of the cost problem. The business also needed the resulting environment to support faster acquisition integration going forward, not just solve today's cost problem.
What Resourcive brought
A single-provider private cloud and DRaaS solution replacing both the legacy on-prem environment and the expensive MSP relationship at once. The new architecture eliminated hardware-failure downtime risk entirely and freed the internal team to focus on the application layer and multi-cloud planning instead of infrastructure maintenance.
"We are completely out of the data center business, and integration time for our next acquisition dropped from six-plus months to days."
