Migrating to the cloud cut infrastructure costs
by approximately 20 percent
Accenture (NYSE: ACN) is helping Rive Gauche accelerate digital
transformation by moving its IT infrastructure to Microsoft Azure
cloud. The transition is creating a modern and flexible environment
that enables increased responsiveness, security and scalability,
while reducing Rive Gauche’s IT infrastructure expenses by
approximately 20 percent.
Accenture worked with the company to create a cloud strategy and
then collaborated with Microsoft to migrate Rive Gauche’s
infrastructure to Microsoft Azure, as well as develop a target
architecture for SAP S/4HANA®. This will help create a stable
infrastructure and allows for flexible use of computing
resources.
"Migrating IT and business processes to SAP S/4HANA on Microsoft
Azure solves one of the biggest challenges faced by major
retailers: increasing the response rate to changing market trends,
while optimizing IT infrastructure expenses,” said Michael Schmidt,
CIO, Rive Gauche. “Accenture and Microsoft’s comprehensive
approach to the project, deep knowledge, rich experience, and high
level of competence allow us to fully trust the final result — a
fast, flexible, and cost-effective IT platform that will grow and
scale with our company into the future."
Accenture integrated Rive Gauche's existing IT infrastructure
and provisioned a centralized backup and monitoring system,
providing continuous operational platform support. The cloud
platform will enable Rive Gauche to accelerate innovation by
leveraging Agile methodologies powered by DevOps and technologies
such as artificial intelligence and analytics.
Ilya Koshkin, project lead, Accenture Russia said, “Rive Gauche
is a powerful example of how applying new technologies can unlock
business value. We hope our work with Rive Gauche and the success
of using public cloud for mission-critical systems will inspire
other large organizations in Russia to accelerate their
transformation.”
Arseny Tarasov, Digital Transformation lead at Microsoft Russia,
added, “This project demonstrates the increasing level of trust in
global cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure. Business leaders and
IT department heads see both the economic and efficiency benefits
related to the speed of solution deployment, the availability of a
wide range of services, and the increased security and reliability
that public cloud can offer. As with previous key technological
trends, companies that are the first to master such innovations
will be able to gain a significant competitive advantage in the
market.”
