Objective: 
When health insurer BKK MOBIL OIL moved into 
new headquarters, it needed a state-of-the-art 
network infrastructure to enable it to deliver the most 
efficient service to its members.   
Approach:
BKK MOBIL OIL implemented a network 
• 
infrastructure from HP ProCurve, in conjunction with 
a new Avaya VoIP telephony solution. 
This unified communications solution is built on 
• 
HP ProCurve 5412zl switches and HP ProCurve 
5406zl access switches with Power over Ethernet 
(PoE). 
All switches are managed centrally and remotely 
• 
using HP ProCurve Manager Plus (PCM+). 
IT improvements: 
 Previous 10 Megabit (Mb) links to the desktop have 
been increased to a minimum of 100 Mb and in 
some cases 1 Gigabit (Gb), all with PoE capability.
A single, highly integrated management platform 
reduces complexity. 
HP ProCurve Adaptive Network features such as 
Virus throttling and increased security.   
 
Business outcomes: 
Employee productivity has increased.
HP ProCurve Lifetime Warranty
 and unified 
communications reduce costs.
Increased efficiency provides better support for 
BKK MOBIL OIL’s one million plus members.
Mobil Oil’s health insurance fund BKK MOBIL OIL   
was founded in 1952 and served several thousand 
members until 1999 when changes in German 
legislation opened company health insurance 
schemes to external membership. BKK MOBIL OIL 
now has over one million members who live or work 
in the ten regions where Mobil Oil originally had 
offices.
Today, BKK MOBIL OIL employs 1,300 staff who 
are based at its headquarters in Hamburg and in 
offices at Celle and Heusenstamm (near Hannover 
and Frankfurt). To service this huge membership, 
staff in their service centres need reliable access to 
the latest IT systems and the Customer Relationship 
Management (CRM) system. In addition, with access 
to confidential customer information, security is 
paramount.
Unified communications
To match the demands of its business growth,  
BKK MOBIL OIL recently moved its headquarters to 
new offices in Hamburg. It took advantage of the 
move to completely update its network infrastructure 
with unified communications by featuring a  
“The HP ProCurve Open Network Ecosystem (ONE) alliance has enabled 
us to easily deploy cost-effective unified communications. HP ProCurve has 
provided us with a robust and secure infrastructure to host this leading 
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solution from Avaya, based on  
open-standards and backed by the HP ProCurve Lifetime Warranty.”
