Infrastructure Separation & Migration for UK based Charities
Overview.
The client is a consortium of major charities in the United Kingdom and is committed to helping, encouraging and inspiring the needy. They provide support, run funding programs and participate in research work to improve people's lives.Coforge carried out end-to-endinfrastructure migration in record time and delivered excellent results to client which resulted in timely exit from data center and saving the cost of running on premises stack.
All charities had common infrastructure and users used to face the impact in case of any unwanted incident. The client was heavily dependent on IT in terms of fund-raising events, volunteering databases and providing quality service to its end-users / beneficiaries. With the legacy IT infrastructure, the client began to face critical issues such as:
A sub-optimal shared services function
Poor user experience
Inability to leverage newer platforms and technologies
Consumption based delivery of IT services
The client wanted to have independent infrastructure setup for all the three charities and bring transformation for the Technology Debt.
Solution.
With a view to help the client with a robust IT infrastructure and optimizing their operations, Coforge has undertaken a seamless transformation of the client's infrastructure and delivered more value in record time. Based on project requirements, the Coforge’s team assessed the existing ready-to-use infrastructure and proposed an appropriate client solution to deliver scalability and reliability & reduce Technology Debt through its cloud capabilities and expertise.
Not only did we help the client get rid of its aging and end-of-life infrastructure, but we also completely exited the Datacenter and moved the entire set up to the cloud. Post design approval from the client, the Coforge’s team deployed a solution to support 5,700 end-users spread across three different Charities in the UK, London. The cloud environment was segregated for three charities post migration with no dependencies on each other with pay as you go model. Our value-add approach in providing a cost-effective and efficient solution was in-line with the industry best practices.
