00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:19.920
Swiss Life Germany is part of
the Zurich-based Swiss Life Group,

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.320
as a leading provider of financial
and insurance services in Germany.

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:28.440
Our history dates back to 1866 in Germany.

00:00:28.520 --> 00:00:33.560
So we have more than 160 years of
experience in the German financial market.

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:35.280
Our mission at Swiss Life Germany

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:38.960
is to help our customers
live a self-determined life,

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:44.720
by providing expert financial advice
and optimal insurance solutions.

00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:48.400
Our longstanding experience, combined
with our forward-thinking approach,

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:50.480
positions us as a trusted partner

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.760
for financial planning
and security for Germans.

00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.480
Our current strategy, Swiss Life 27,
is focusing on several areas.

00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:02.000
We want to leverage and optimize
our public cloud infrastructure

00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:05.280
to increase the agility,
scalability, and flexibility

00:01:05.320 --> 00:01:07.160
of our public cloud infrastructure.

00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:12.600
With that, we are aiming to provide
a unified and efficient infrastructure

00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.360
to support our growth ambitions
in the financial advisory service business.

00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:18.560
We are optimizing our data architecture,

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.880
and making data
more accessible and efficient,

00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.600
supporting better decision-making
and enabling innovative services.

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:29.560
We're evaluating and implementing cognitive
services across various applications,

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:32.680
including customer interactions
and assisted programming.

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:41.000
Moving our IT infrastructure
to AWS Cloud Services

00:01:41.080 --> 00:01:44.000
has been a great
game changer for Swiss Life,

00:01:44.080 --> 00:01:47.600
enabling greater
efficiency, automation, and scalability.

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.480
We have significantly
reduced our manual work

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.560
by redesigning our processes and
implementing cloud-native automation.

00:01:56.600 --> 00:01:59.960
Improved security frameworks
and real-time compliance monitoring

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.640
helped us a lot
to meet the regulatory requirements.

00:02:02.720 --> 00:02:06.240
With AWS and Deloitte
as strategic partners,

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.240
we have built resilient,
future-proof IT foundations

00:02:09.320 --> 00:02:12.200
that support business growth
as well as innovation.

00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.520
This migration was more
than just an IT shift.

00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:20.000
It was a business transformation
that enabled Swiss Life to be more agile,

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.360
more secure, more resilient,
and even more competitive.

00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:27.280
This project was a major
digital transformation initiative

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:28.480
from Swiss Life Germany.

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:33.160
The project involved a complete
overhaul of the IT operations management,

00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:37.880
moving towards full automation
and minimal manual administration,

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:39.560
using infrastructure as code.

00:02:39.640 --> 00:02:42.960
It also emphasized the adoption
of cloud-native technologies,

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.520
with specially developed
self-service modules,

00:02:45.600 --> 00:02:50.000
which enabled the direct use of
AWS services with a minimum effort.

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.720
We began working with Swiss Life
with the main objective

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.480
of supporting the strategic decision
to migrate to the AWS cloud.

00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.920
Swiss Life chose AWS as a cloud vendor

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.680
for their ability to meet the security
and resilience requirements

00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:07.200
of a platform operating in
a heavily regulated industry, such as FSI.

00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.320
We started by reviewing the business case,

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.000
defining the target operating model,

00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:12.720
and designing an enterprise platform

00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.280
that fully meets
the security and regulatory needs.

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.960
This then led us to support them
through the agile delivery of the project,

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:20.680
setting up the migration factories

00:03:20.760 --> 00:03:24.840
and making them one of the first insurance
companies to fully migrate to the cloud.

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.920
The key objectives
this project has delivered.

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.840
First, we moved our
legacy systems to the cloud,

00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:39.760
creating more flexibility
and fostering innovation.

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.320
We boosted efficiency by automation,

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.360
especially cloud optimization,

00:03:44.440 --> 00:03:46.560
saving money and speeding up processes.

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:48.600
We made scaling easier

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.960
by adjusting resources quickly
to the concrete business needs.

00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.480
And finally, we improved
security and compliance

00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.360
with strong cybersecurity measures
and real-time monitoring.

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.440
This achievement positions
Swiss Life as a trailblazer

00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.080
and one of the first insurance companies
that transitioned to the cloud.

00:04:06.160 --> 00:04:08.560
We have proven that
an FSI company like ours

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:11.320
is capable of embracing
cutting-edge technologies

00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.760
while maintaining security, compliance,
and operational excellence.
