The stated goal for Nationwide Inc., the Fortune 100 insurance services provider, is to “help protect families, businesses and futures.” Based on news released this month, Nationwide’s own business future will be in the cloud.
On Thursday, Amazon Web Services Inc. announced that Nationwide had selected AWS as its preferred cloud provider and will move more than 850 business and customer-facing applications to the cloud platform.
“Our journey with this started almost two years ago,” said Guru Vasudeva (pictured), senior vice president and chief technology officer at Nationwide. “We were looking for a partner who was leading edge in terms of cloud capabilities, as well as in creating new services. It’s not just about migrating the applications, but also modernizing them.”
