Developing a successful cloud strategy framework for CSS

The CSS Group insures over 1.6 million people and is one of the leading Swiss health, accident, and property insurers. It is the market leader in basic insurance.

The Challenge

Due to ongoing development projects and for strategic reasons, the IT department of health insurance company CSS (CSS IT) was looking to use public cloud services and build up the relevant skills. It, therefore, knew that it would need to develop its cloud strategy in order to pull off a rather sizeable cloud transformation. Eraneos was on call to step in and give a helping hand.

The interaction of CSS internal decision-makers and consultants from Eraneos ensured cloud adoption was further sharpened and defined company-wide.

The approach

As part of the cloud strategy development, Eraneos experts supported CSS with a proven cloud strategy framework, including the best practices for cloud transformations and broad industry experience in the finance and insurance sectors.

Based on this framework, we secured the foundations and structures for comprehensive, effective, and sustainable strategy development. This meant that CSS IT employees were able to optimally focus on introducing, discussing, and defining the content elements of the cloud strategy.

This tried-and-tested approach also made it possible to find a targeted and efficient solution for the different dimensions of the department’s cloud strategy.

The CSS Group insures over 1.6 million people and is one of the leading Swiss health, accident, and property insurers. It is the market leader in basic insurance. With 100 agencies and around 2,700 employees, CSS is close to its customers throughout Switzerland. The company inspires its customers and employees thanks to modern technologies, IT services, and innovation.

The result

In developing a cloud strategy, Eraneos supported CSS with its tried-and-tested cloud strategy framework, best practices for cloud transformations, and broad industry experience in the finance and insurance sectors. Based on this framework, we were able to ensure the foundations and structures for a comprehensive, targeted and sustainable strategy development.
 
By preparing, moderating, and following up on the workshops and the resulting documents, we also provided support with an experienced team of cloud strategy and cloud technology experts. CSS IT’s cloud strategy now enables it to develop IT services consistently and sustainably.

Let’s create sustainable change together.
