Real-life ROI is a series outlining how we achieved 300% and more return on investment on data center consolidation projects.
Properly following a consolidation and decommissioning plan is vital. A proper plan ensures relevant data is not lost, legal and regulatory compliance is met, timelines are met, and money is saved.
Often, IT departments can be spread too thin and aren’t able to focus on special projects. That’s where we come in, we’re your IT advisor so your IT teams can focus on revenue-generating projects and normal day-to-day operations. We provide a detailed approach to help your organization complete a consolidation within your specified timeframe, meeting regulations and requirements, limiting downtime, and providing cost savings.
The Client
A healthcare client acquired eight additional data centers and needed to consolidate them into their two existing core data centers.
Consolidating eight data centers into two core centers is one thing but taking infrastructure from another organization and fitting it into its existing infrastructure is another thing. The complexity of this project required outside help to meet their goals and we were happy to answer the call.
The Results
Throughout the project, we were able to provide our client with the following:
- Identified inefficiencies and found new ways to rein in IT costs
- There was minimal disruption to normal business
- Upgraded networking hardware that resulted in increased system performance, ensuring the entire facility ran at peak efficiency.
- Created a well-designed IT blueprint that will allow their overall efficiency and productivity moving forward.
ROI
As a result, this project was successful because of our five-step process and expertise. Our five-step process includes: Initiation, Discovery, Planning, Execution, and Closeout.
Total ROI 433% (For every $1 spent, our client received $4.33 in return)
The project timeline of 6-months was met, 1-month ahead of schedule.
