Financial Services

Global investment bank

The challenge

Thousands of Dell EMC and IBM Power systems across three continents were hitting end of service life, and the OEM renewal quote landed 18% above the prior year — for less coverage.

The solution

We consolidated 14 OEM contracts into a single multi-vendor data center maintenance agreement with unified SLAs, dedicated spares stocking at each region, and one escalation path for every platform.

The challenge

Clinical systems ran on storage arrays the OEM had declared end of support, and a forced hardware refresh would have collided with an EHR migration already underway.

The solution

Our EOSL lifecycle extension program kept the existing arrays under full parts-and-engineer coverage, letting the network refresh on the EHR project timeline instead of the vendor’s.

The challenge

A stable SAP ECC 6.0 estate faced the 2027 mainstream maintenance deadline, and SAP’s extended maintenance premium would have consumed the budget earmarked for plant-floor modernization.

The solution

We transitioned the estate to third-party SAP support with named engineers, custom-code coverage, and regulatory tax/legal updates — no forced S/4HANA timeline.

The challenge

Broadcom’s subscription conversion multiplied the cost of a large perpetual vSphere estate overnight, threatening gross margins on the company’s core platform.

The solution

We placed the perpetual licenses under third-party VMware support and paired it with a cloud repatriation assessment, pulling steady-state workloads back onto owned infrastructure.

The challenge

An Oracle audit letter arrived mid-budget-cycle, with initial findings claiming seven figures in back-licensing across Database and Java SE deployments the IT team could not fully inventory.

The solution

Our license & compliance team took over the audit — building the effective license position, rebutting findings, and negotiating settlement before moving eligible systems to third-party Oracle support.

The challenge

Warehouse and routing systems depended on aging HPE and Cisco gear at 40+ distribution sites, where a single OEM contract lapse meant days of downtime waiting for parts.

The solution

A single multi-vendor hardware maintenance contract covered every site with forward-stocked spares and field engineers, replacing a patchwork of per-site OEM and reseller agreements.

"The renewal quote said replace everything. Instead we cut the support bill by more than half, kept our four-hour SLA, and refreshed on our own schedule two years later."
IT Director, Fortune 500 manufacturer

Savings vs OEM

Every engagement is benchmarked against the OEM renewal quote it replaced — the savings figure is the delta, not a projection.

SLA performance

We track response and resolution against contracted SLAs monthly, and clients see the same dashboard we do.

Lifecycle extension

Success means hardware and software retire when the business case says so — measured in refresh capital deferred.
