Overview

Stripe Global Services are post-placement technology specialists who offer unique technology to insureds, reinsurers, brokers and carriers for premium and claim management.

STRIPE® is a web-based allocation and distribution platform for all post-bind transactions that streamlines processes, reduces cost, and improves cash flow. It provides a single point of access to transform and transmit data using ACORD standards, Bureau messaging, interactive e-mails and 24/7 web access.

They were having flexibility issues with third-party hosting, so aOracle Cloud Migration was suggested by DSP, a solution which would provide Stripe with greater security and a modernised, flexible infrastructure.

The Challenge

Stripe faced several challenges with third-party hosting. The main concerns were as follows:

  • Building value into re-platforming
  • Ensuring security isn't compromised
  • Minimal disruption to service

Third-party hosting didn’t have the flexibility of resource provisioning that could be achieved through Public Cloud. In order to scale or burst a procurement exercise would have been necessary, which would have taken too long. The other challenge was around using a shared platform and the commercial/technical constraints that it presented.

The Solution

An Oracle Cloud Migration was suggested by DSP, a solution which would provide Stripe with greater security through a mixture of IaaS and PaaS platforms, and physical data centre accreditations.

In order to meet the client's requirements of moving to Oracle Cloud quickly and with minimal downtime, we enabled testing and support phases of the migration followed by a number of techniques around database refresh clones.

After that the migration was simple and we were able to help Stripe transition straight into support through our continuous MSP programme.

The Result

  • Flexible infrastructure in Oracle Cloud; easy transition
  • Resources saved through MSP offerings; benefits from day 1
  • Layers of security built into new infrastructure and PaaS platforms meant more security
  • Minimised downtime

Moving to Oracle Cloud-enabled performant, Enterprise-class infrastructure with the flexibility of Public Cloud. The MSP wrapper also offered by DSP allowed Stripe to refocus on their core business, rather than spending resources fixing IT issues. 

 

Added Value

Simplification

Migrating to Oracle Cloud has improved and simplified Stripe's infrastructure, enabling lower TCO and quicker time to value through its inbuilt automation. As well as being able to keep the flexibility of public cloud at the same time.


Security

Stripe's successful migration to Oracle Cloud provides increased security, with built-in continuous protection and automated security. This reduces the overall risk and human error, leaving Stripe confident that their security will not be compromised. 

Ongoing Support

Stripe's estate is optimised in the long-term with DSPs wrap-around service, which provides proactive monitoring, regular health checks and performance reviews. This means they can focus on other priority areas of the business, assured in the knowledge their infrastructure is safe with us.
