Harcourt Life - Financial Services | Spector

Harcourt Life

Harcourt Life is an assurance company, formerly part of a large financial institution. The company focuses on acquiring portfolios of international bond businesses, and it is able to operate internationally through its sister companies.

The Challenge

Harcourt had to obtain and fit out a brand new office. They had no technological infrastructure yet and called Spector to begin building it from the ground up.  The new infrastructure had to accommodate their existing complex legacy IT systems and working alongside their third party vendors was identified as key to a successful project.

They advised that part of their business would be to acquire other books of business and therefore increase their staff numbers. To facilitate this they needed a stable, expandable and future proofed infrastructure.

Results

Harcourt has been growing and acquiring multiple companies since the initial project and the transition has always been smooth. The environment has remained stable and secure throughout. 

We now perform a Disaster Recovery test for a full day every year with the customers and at least one internal test per quarter. The company has been through and successfully completed multiple IT audits without any issues. 

That's enough theory, let's talk!
