The Challenge

Damart was faced with a technical debt that needed a permanent and scalable solution. Delayed functionality upgrades had resulted was a less-than-optimal IT performance, and this was affecting their business.

The client was looking for a complete solution with an implementation partner to manage the migration project.

Eviden collaborated with Google to propose a move to the Google Cloud VMware Engine. This would be the first step before apps modernization, and the entire presales phase lasted for 18 months. Technical workshops helped deconstruct the existing IT infrastructure and design a comprehensive, secure, and scalable solution.

In line with Eviden’s workshop findings and detailed analysis, Damart was confident to migrate to Google Cloud VMware Engine and Bare Metal with an Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager layer.
