A technology leader with a 130-year-old history of working with manufacturing, utilities, infrastructure, and transportation, our client is driving the transformation of industries towards a more sustainable future and focuses on delivering new services and solutions that match their customers’ needs. 

They needed an experienced and committed technology partner to support them with the migration and modernization of their dated solutions in order to enable new products, services, revenue streams, and scalability to deliver more value to their customers.

Among the technical challenges, the client faced the need to modernize their:

1. legacy IT landscape that was composed of classic network drives and a Lotus Note-based email.
2. complex multi-farm scenario, including SharePoint Online and on-premise.
