LIMA, Peru, March 15, 2022 – Kyndryl, the world's largest IT infrastructure services provider, and RIMAC Seguros, a leading insurance company in Peru with 1.8 million customers, today announced a 3-year agreement to accelerate the company’s digital transformation with the migration of its mission-critical IT systems and business applications to Microsoft Azure.
The insurance industry in Peru is facing increased demand for digital services, which has accelerated the need for more agile and resilient, cloud-based operations.

The company will be able to deliver superior customer experiences through faster response times, enhanced security and improved business continuity and resiliency. Kyndryl will lead the migration of RIMAC’s contingency data center to the cloud and implement a resiliency orchestration strategy to improve the management and recovery of data.
“RIMAC Seguros is committed to the well-being of Peruvians and our organizational culture revolves around it. An essential ingredient is to provide the best experience to our clients and employees and having a powerful and flexible technological platform is key. We are convinced that the cloud is a fundamental factor”, said Gilmar Zevallos, IT Operations Manager of RIMAC.
