Computacenter Case Study: Willis

Overview Willis is one of the world's leading risk management and insurance intermediaries. Willis needed to ensure that business services are minimally impacted by a disaster or emergency. Before Willis could commit to its new approach to disaster recovery, it needed to evaluate the proposed data replication technology and its impact on the company's existing IT infrastructure. To ensure it could carry out a comprehensive proof of concept exercise in a short timeframe, Willis opted to use Computacenter's multi-vendor testing facility, The Solutions Centre.
