--Alight's new cloud-based foundation creates a connected
ecosystem that drives innovation, enhances availability and
security, and improves performance, all within a streamlined
infrastructure
--The transition is expected to achieve $75 million annualized
savings
Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading cloud-based and human
capital technology services provider, announced the successful
completion of its cloud migration program, including the full
decommissioning of its Lincolnshire Data Center to an AWS
environment.
This milestone marks the culmination of Alight’s cloud
transformation initiative, resulting in a simplified and more
efficient Alight Worklife® platform and is expected to achieve $75
million in annualized savings.
Alight Worklife was designed to meet the needs of the modern
workforce, cutting down on complexity by integrating health, wealth
and leaves benefits into one platform. With the completion of the
cloud migration program, the platform now operates on an improved
infrastructure with greater efficiency and amplifies many of its
advantages including speed to innovation, quicker implementation
and greater automation. These key attributes strengthen the power
of Alight Worklife and empower employees to make more informed
benefits decisions and give employers a competitive edge in their
benefits strategy.
Key results from the cloud migration
program include:
Platform simplification: Including a 40% reduction in the
number of servers and a 60% reduction in middleware systems.
Additionally, there was a 95% reduction in operating systems with a
migration of nearly 300 applications and the sunsetting of more
than 190 applications.
Enhanced performance: Including a 43% faster average
response time across Health Enrollment pages and a 30% faster
average load time for the Alight Worklife homepage.
Improved availability and security: Including an 85%
increase in the adoption of security controls and the enhanced
availability of more than 130 applications across three AWS
locations.
“By completing our cloud migration during the first half of
2024, we are well positioned to deliver enhanced performance and
increased capacity across the Alight Worklife platform,” said Greg
Goff, President, Alight Solutions. “These investments are driving
an all-important enhanced user experience which is critical in
advancing how we serve our clients and their people.”
