Mission objectives

Modernize an aging IT infrastructure to guarantee group-wide performance, security and scalability.
Migrate over 800 servers and 100 applications to AWS as part of a single-cloud strategy driven by the IT department.
Reduce the time-to-market of business projects by adopting an agile methodology and progressive execution in sprint mode.
Deploy automated cloud supervision and ensure operational continuity via a dual hybrid run (on-premise / cloud).

The support process

Launch of a business plan in July 2020, recruitment of cloud profiles and choice of a single-cloud strategy with AWS, supported by a group framework contract.

Deployment of a sprint-based approach in Agile mode, with technical workshops to prepare each wave of Lift & Shift migration (servers, SQL and Oracle databases on EC2, BYOL to optimize costs).

Implementation of a new automated cloud supervision and management of a hybrid environment with a dual run on on-premise and AWS infrastructures.

Customer benefits

Guaranteed service continuity: the gradual migration had no significant impact on staff or end customers.
Increased agility and time-to-market: the new cloud infrastructure enables faster deployment of IT and business projects.
Enhanced visibility and control: automated cloud supervision for better control of hybrid environments.
Trusted partnership: comprehensive support provided by DEEP France (formerly Digora), a single point of contact throughout the transformation project.
