Did You Know?
Caspian One helped a global reinsurance provider retrofit and restructure their engineering and DevOps teams, ensuring compliance with IR35 regulations while keeping critical cloud and data visualization projects on track - despite internal restructuring and shifting priorities.
This story represents Caspian One’s ability to navigate complex regulatory landscapes while ensuring the stability and efficiency of critical technology functions. By restructuring and optimising DevOps and engineering teams, we provided seamless compliance with IR35 regulations without disrupting cloud and data initiatives.
Our expertise in Azure DevOps, cloud engineering, and automation allowed the client to maintain momentum across key workstreams while adapting to shifting internal priorities. This engagement underscores our role as a strategic partner, enabling resilience, regulatory compliance, and continuous innovation in high-impact financial services.
The Challenge
A leading catastrophe insurance and reinsurance firm was managing multiple critical workstreams, including Azure DevOps, Cloud Engineering, and Data Visualization. However, they faced significant operational hurdles - including IR35 compliance concerns, internal team reductions, and changing business priorities.
Without a clear strategy to keep their DevOps and engineering functions running smoothly, they risked project delays, operational inefficiencies, and regulatory non-compliance. They needed a specialist partner to adapt their existing teams, maintain compliance, and continue delivering high-impact technology solutions.
Our Approach
Caspian One worked closely with the firm to retrofit their incumbent DevOps and engineering teams, ensuring compliance with IR35 regulations while maintaining continuity across their cloud, data, and infrastructure initiatives.
Rather than disrupting ongoing projects, we structured a seamless transition that allowed the firm’s technology teams to continue delivering on their objectives without unnecessary oversight. Our expertise in Azure DevOps and Cloud Engineering enabled us to:
Reconfigure existing teams to operate outside of IR35 while ensuring minimal disruption to project timelines
Maintain momentum across multiple workstreams, from cloud infrastructure to data visualization and database restoration processes
Implement new functionalities within Azure DevOps pipelines, optimising performance and automation
Establish a flexible engagement model, allowing for quick adjustments in response to changing internal priorities
The Outcome
Through our tailored managed services approach, Caspian One successfully:
Kept critical DevOps and cloud engineering projects on track, despite internal restructuring
Ensured compliance with IR35 regulations, mitigating legal and financial risks
Minimised the need for direct oversight, allowing the firm’s leadership to focus on strategic goals
Maintained stability across infrastructure workstreams, ensuring business continuity and operational efficiency
By working as a trusted partner, Caspian One provided strategic agility, allowing the firm to navigate internal changes, regulatory pressures, and shifting priorities without compromising on project success.
What This Meant for the Client:
For the reinsurance firm, this engagement was about more than just technical delivery - it was about ensuring resilience in their technology infrastructure.
By securing expert DevOps and engineering support, they:
Protected critical technology operations from disruption
Achieved regulatory compliance without sacrificing efficiency
