The work included datacentre design and build, procurement, and commissioning of business applications.

“The engagement was very much a partnership from the start with Figure8 always working with the best interests of nib. With the scale and timeframe of the assignment, the requirements were constantly emerging; the Figure 8 team were calm and pragmatic with the change and additional tasks added to the engagement.

“During this project nib also worked closely with other Figure8 partners and staff with the separation of core systems from TOWER insurance. All of the Figure8 partners and staff exposed to us during these two projects are of very high calibre in all aspects.

“Figure8 were certainly a core part of our success in standing up our new business.”
