Case studies

One of the largest independent energy trading companies in the world realised that they could achieve major savings through more efficient management of their IT infrastructure.

Based on our extensive technology capabilities across a range of industry sectors, the customer asked Xchanging to deliver a solution. Our consultancy team assessed the requirement and scoped the impact we could achieve through architectural change. Based on this analysis, we consolidated the customer’s application servers into a smaller number of carefully selected key data centres and standardised the desktop across their organisation. With these changes and a WAN optimisation initiative, we delivered significant efficiencies:

• We reduced data on WAN links by 75% 
• We gave the business visibility of its network capacity
• We improved application performance
• We cut the support overhead
• We improved data backup and security
