Saxon Insurance migrates cloud.

Introduction

Saxon Insurance is a leading insurance firm, the industry’s first exclusive online service site to rate
quote, submit claims and purchase auto insurance. The client has been providing smart insurance policies for the last 50 years in the Cayman Islands.

The client successfully migrated to the cloud with the help of Axiom’s team, enhancing performance
and efficiency to remotely manage its application.

Customer Requirements

• The client wanted to exit the datacenter and move to cloud but was worried about the possible downtime.
