Case Study:
Technology Talent Partnership With a Leading U.S. Insurance Provider
Industry: Insurance
Region: North America
Company Size: 30,000 employees, one of the largest insurers in the U.S.
Key Results Achieved
Mission-critical hires delivered across core IT and infrastructure functions
Top 2 Strategic supplier out of over 100 competing vendors, earning “Vendor of the Year”
First slate of qualified candidates delivered within 24 hours after months of no success with other vendors
The Challenge
What began as a single difficult-to-fill middleware role turned, over time, into a broad need for quality technical talent across infrastructure, data, security, middleware, and enterprise systems, all under tight timelines and high standards.
- Previous vendors failed to deliver for three months while the project sat unfilled.
- The client was evaluating dozens (100+) of staffing vendors but needed a partner capable of delivering speed, deep technical sourcing, and reliability.
- The scope included everything: data warehouse, middleware migration (DB2 → Oracle / SQL Server), middleware deployments (JBOSS), network and security, plus enterprise-level production support and compliance (PCI, e-commerce security).
- Their IT environment was sensitive, high-stakes, and required people who could get up to speed fast — not surface-level contractors.
Our Solution
GTT responded with a deeply integrated, high-touch technical talent delivery model:
- Built a dedicated pool of highly specialized consultants (not general staffing) with deep domain knowledge — middleware, DB2/Oracle/SQL migrations, network, security, data warehousing, and enterprise systems.
- Delivered three fully vetted candidates within 24 hours — even when previous vendors had failed for months.
- Provided a full-scope resource strategy, including everything from contract, contract-to-hire, to permanent placements — offering flexibility that fits long-term planning and budget cycles.
- Supported end-to-end enterprise modernization: database migrations, middleware rollouts, data-warehouse build outs, cybersecurity & compliance, and ongoing production support for critical systems.
The Results
- 200+ critical IT & infrastructure hires supporting multiple strategic systems and business lines.
- Top-tier vendor standing — named “Vendor of the Year,” and positioned as one of only two preferred partners among 100+ vendors.
- Successful enterprise modernization: major database migrations, middleware deployments, data-warehouse build-outs, and enterprise-scale systems delivered.
- Enhanced security and compliance: enterprise-wide vulnerability testing and secure build-outs reduced fraud and identity-theft incidents significantly.
- Reduced sourcing load and faster fulfillment: from unfilled roles over 3 months to fully staffed positions in 24 hours, accelerating time-to-hire and project momentum.
“GTT has delivered high quality resources at competitive rates. I have been impressed repeatedly on how they can offer 2 or 3 candidates who are top notch in difficult to source skills, resulting in improved start dates for projects and less start-up training.”
