Helping EMPLOYERS Continue to Evolve Through Innovative, Customer-Focused Solutions
EMPLOYERS has been providing small businesses workers’ compensation insurance coverage for more than a century, expanding from serving only small businesses in Nevada when it was founded in 1913, to operating in 46 states and the District of Columbia. As the company expanded, it needed to overhaul its technology systems in order to compete with emerging fintech startups and support customers in new markets. EMPLOYERS worked with Consulting to establish systems of record based on the legacy technology and surrounding them with modern, more flexible and easier to update applications, delivered on OpenShift.
Working with Red Hat Consulting, EMPLOYERS developers created new applications on Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading enterprise Kubernetes platform, running on Amazon Web Services (AWS). With its open hybrid cloud infrastructure based on Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, EMPLOYERS’ cloud-native applications are now deployed on the same consistent foundation as its on-premises infrastructure. EMPLOYERS also uses Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform as its common platform to automate both its AWS environments and on-premises datacenter, enabling its operations team to automate many historically time-consuming, manual and repeatable business processes, such as policy price change submissions and focus instead on adding value.
