Client background & business context

Challenges
After multiple organizational and IT changes, our partner was facing difficulties in bringing all their subsidiaries to HQ standards from a technological point of view.
Due to the low flexibility caused by a lack of cloud adoption, and the large backlog of required changes, they decided that the most cost-effective solution is to find a technological partner to manage their day-to-day IT operations. Specifically, they required an end-to-end service for monitoring their platforms, on-call services for their Azure/Bluemix, Exchange, and SharePoint environments, and 2nd and 3rd level operations and support.

- Client health of the entire environment with a compliance of 99% over 5 years
