BRIEF DESCRIPTION
A company in the healthcare sector wanted to simplify, streamline, optimize and future-proof its entire IT infrastructure. In particular, it wanted to stop operating its own hardware servers and outsource server operation in such a way that virtual machines are operated in a data center with appropriate performance and security guarantees. To this end, a holistic concept of the future infrastructure and the process for a failure-free transition was developed, which in particular sets out the relocation and operating costs in detail and makes them comparable with the overall actual costs.

SUCCESSES
- The overall operating costs were precisely calculated and compared with the new operating costs, taking shadow costs into account
- The operating costs of the new infrastructure are significantly lower and an early ROI for the relocation costs can be forecast
- The customer is very satisfied with the clarity achieved

RESPOSIBILITY
- Overall responsibility for the concept project

GENERAL CONDITIONS
- In addition to direct costs for the operation of own server hardware, incalculable costs for failures, replacements and performance problems cause concern
- Due to cost pressure from partial public funding, an overall concept is required for presentation to financial backers and the board of directors
