Alight Completes Cloud Migration Transformation, Delivering Enhanced Performance and Significant Cost Savings

--Alight's new cloud-based foundation creates a connected ecosystem that drives innovation, enhances availability and security, and improves performance, all within a streamlined infrastructure

--The transition is expected to achieve $75 million annualized savings

Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading cloud-based and human capital technology services provider, announced the successful completion of its cloud migration program, including the full decommissioning of its Lincolnshire Data Center to an AWS environment.

This milestone marks the culmination of Alight’s cloud transformation initiative, resulting in a simplified and more efficient Alight Worklife® platform and is expected to achieve $75 million in annualized savings.

Alight Worklife was designed to meet the needs of the modern workforce, cutting down on complexity by integrating health, wealth and leaves benefits into one platform. With the completion of the cloud migration program, the platform now operates on an improved infrastructure with greater efficiency and amplifies many of its advantages including speed to innovation, quicker implementation and greater automation. These key attributes strengthen the power of Alight Worklife and empower employees to make more informed benefits decisions and give employers a competitive edge in their benefits strategy.

Key results from the cloud migration program include:

Platform simplification: Including a 40% reduction in the number of servers and a 60% reduction in middleware systems. Additionally, there was a 95% reduction in operating systems with a migration of nearly 300 applications and the sunsetting of more than 190 applications.

Enhanced performance: Including a 43% faster average response time across Health Enrollment pages and a 30% faster average load time for the Alight Worklife homepage.

Improved availability and security: Including an 85% increase in the adoption of security controls and the enhanced availability of more than 130 applications across three AWS locations.

“By completing our cloud migration during the first half of 2024, we are well positioned to deliver enhanced performance and increased capacity across the Alight Worklife platform,” said Greg Goff, President, Alight Solutions. “These investments are driving an all-important enhanced user experience which is critical in advancing how we serve our clients and their people.”
