Business challenges

Our client had a complicated multi-vendor outsourcing model for its applications, IT infrastructure, and corporate service desk support. This caused performance visibility issues, slowed resolution times at a higher cost, and led to datacenter and on-premises maintenance backlogs. Our client sought to improve its supplier management by consolidating vendors and working toward more robust, secure, and scalable corporate systems to keep its franchises growing.

1

Reduce costs associated with an inefficient multi-vendor sourcing model.

2

Improve datacenter and on-premises maintenance at a lower cost.

3

Reduce technical debt to grow current brands and enable the acquisition and integration of new brands.

4

Increase transparency related to the key metrics, SLAs, and KPIs for application and infrastructure services.
