Join this on-the-record customer conversation with Key Benefit Administrators to hear how they weighed their options and chose a private cloud path.

Hear from Matt Schwark, VP of Information Technology, Key Benefit Administrators, and AJ Kuftic, Expedient’s Field CTO, as they walk through the choices, tradeoffs, and outcomes behind a one-night production migration.

What we’ll cover:

- The business drivers that forced a cloud decision: a corporate headquarters move, aging on-prem infrastructure, and the need for agility.
- The evaluation process: a frank comparison of private cloud, hyperscale, and co-location for a VMware shop.
- How the team used the migration as a live disaster recovery test to find and fix architectural gaps.
- The story of the "one-night" production cutover and how the delivery teams worked together to solve challenges.
- Post-migration outcomes: improved staff "quality of life," eliminating infrastructure firefighting, and creating time for strategic projects like automation, integrations, and AI.

Why attend:

- Hear a real-world story from a regulated healthcare organization that successfully navigated a complex migration.
- Understand the practical tradeoffs between private cloud and hyperscale for legacy VMware environments.
- Learn how a partner can act as a "force multiplier" for your team, de-risking the migration process.
- Get actionable takeaways you can apply to your own cloud, DR, and modernization planning.

Who should attend:

- CIOs, CTOs, IT Directors
- Infrastructure & Cloud Architects
- Engineering & Ops Leaders
- Anyone planning a data center exit, cloud migration, or DR initiative, especially in regulated industries.
