Cloud First

Computacenter give Volkswagen Financial Services (VWFS) a fast start.

VWFS uses relocation of their Digital Unit as the driver for digitalisation - with their cloud enabled by Computacenter.

Objective

At the new location, the hardware infrastructure was to be reduced to a minimum following the principle "cloud first". The existing hardware was not to be relocated. In the workstation environment, Microsoft Office 365 was to be used as the core application. The migration was carried out within a very limited timeframe.

Solution

Computacenter was able to win the contract against other bidders and implemented the specifications of the Digital Unit within 6 weeks. With the installed WLAN infrastructure from Cisco Meraki as well as Office 365 and Azure from Microsoft, the agile team of scrum masters, software developers and managers was able to start quickly.

Outcome

In addition to the procurement and delivery of the hardware, Computacenter configured and implemented a flexible, cloud-based workstation environment for the Digital Unit. This enabled a creative new start in a new environment in Berlin and also considerably reduced the administration effort for the IT environment.
