IBM Cloud infrastructure provides on-demand
scalability, rapid disaster recovery response capabilities, and
enhanced security
FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FLT), a leading global
provider of fuel cards and workforce payment solutions, today
announced the successful migration of its Comdata business to
IBM’s state-of-the-art cloud-based processing environment. The
flexibility and advanced capabilities of this new infrastructure
will allow FLEETCOR to rapidly accommodate growth while maximizing
performance for customers and partners.
Processing over 2 billion transactions across 53 countries in
2016, FLEETCOR has leveraged IBM’s Cloud Managed Services for z
Systems to streamline global IT operations with added security and
reliability, while reducing operating costs. The broader
implementation with IBM started in 2016, allowing FLEETCOR to
better accommodate business and operational fluctuations, minimize
risk, enhance disaster recovery, consolidate technology
infrastructure and simplify network architecture.
“Through this seamless migration with IBM, we’ve gained a
flexible, cloud-based IT infrastructure that helps us reliably
scale our transaction processing capabilities to meet the future
needs of our customers and partners,” said Waddaah Keirbeck, Global
Chief Technology Officer of FLEETCOR Technologies. “As our business
continues to grow, our technology infrastructure is already in
place.”
“Our extensive experience delivering skilled teams and
technologies to leading companies in the payments industry was a
natural fit for FLEETCOR and its need to migrate technology
operations to the cloud,” said Philip Guido, IBM General Manager
for IBM Global Technology Services North America. “Businesses are
increasingly relying on cloud-based technologies to adapt to
fast-moving changes in their industries. With IBM at the core of
its IT operations, FLEETCOR is helping its customers face
tomorrow’s challenges more than ever.”
In recognition of the company’s success, FLEETCOR was recently
named to the FORTUNE 1000, joining a prestigious list of the
country’s largest companies, as well as the FORBES Global 2000, a
comprehensive annual ranking of the world's largest public
companies.
