The Challenge

Liberty Mutual has numerous vendor repositories, such as Documentum, Sharepoint, CMOD, and Alfresco. They also have an initiative to completely retire Documentum. Leadership at Liberty Mutual forecasted significant cost savings and security improvements by moving their content to the cloud. They chose Amazon Web Services (AWS) Nebula, which claims companies moving to their cloud solution will save a minimum of 30% of current infrastructure spend.

The Solution

After extensive research, Liberty Mutual chose Simflofy to ensure they could move to the cloud quickly in order to remain competitive against newer businesses that do not have legacy systems and began their businesses with cloud-based services. With 60+ out-of-the-box connectors, Liberty Mutual is able to take on just about any migration project using Simflofy.

Results

Global Risk Solutions (GRS) was the first business unit to use Simflofy for its migration efforts. After a successful partnership over several years, Global Retail Markets (GRM) began using Simflofy for migration projects in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America. Today, both GRS and GRM continue to use Simflofy to migrate off legacy systems, such as Documentum and Sharepoint. Combined, upwards of two billion documents have been migrated to date. Some examples of content being migrated include bill images, policies, and claims. MS Word documents, PDFs, JPGs, video files, and audio files.

Liberty Mutual is continuing to gain even greater control over archival, distribution, access, and integration of all of the content in their company. Their end-user community can access their information with complete transparency.

Leveraging Simflofy’s Platform and Premier Support, LibertyMutual is able to get over hurdles more quickly, saving the company implementation time and costs. With additional savings on infrastructure spend (computing and storage costs), as well as reducing employee overtime, Liberty Mutual is able to reinvest its savings into new development initiatives rather than ongoing maintenance costs.

With Simflofy’s release of Version 3, Liberty Mutual will have improved performance and they are beginning to explore new ways to benefit from Simflofy in areas, such as Federation,eDiscovery, and Records Management.
