Excerpts...
With an organization as established and diverse as Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE), the IT department found it was managing as many vendors as solutions. When the new CIO asked the IT team to rationalize the infrastructure, they focused on simplification and consolidation while providing a platform that was robust enough to continue to meet the stringent requirements of the business. John Key, CCE Principal Collaboration Technologies, says:
“If you looked at our legacy e-mail platform, we had more than 50 servers. Managing that type of situation required a lot of overhead. There were patches, upgrades, support, and services for all of those 50 different environments. It was costly and there was no way for our IT department to focus on value-added opportunities.”
In its assessment of whether to upgrade its current platform or transform the company to a hosted model, it considered a number of different options. CCE desired a partnership where it could use its enterprise software on premises with integrated software services in the cloud, and turned to Microsoft to execute upon its objectives. Sezer says:
“The business value comes from expanding the use of our communication collaboration technologies that we’ve built with Microsoft. Our ability to communicate strategies and the changes that we are introducing and getting our employees engaged in is tremendous. In a five-month timeframe, we migrated roughly 30,000 people to a hosted solution, without impacting their business or interrupting their day-to-day operations."
