The requirement

Driving infrastructure migration success by managing costs and minimizing risks.

The client, in the automotive financial services sector, is undergoing a long-term infrastructure migration to align with the parent group’s central IT system. With the group-wide shift toward cloud-based solutions and consolidated data centers, investing in new local infrastructure was no longer viable.

Previously, the local IT team operated independently, managing their own hardware and support with minimal issues. However, headquarters pushed for centralized control to improve cost efficiency, compliance, and risk management. This prompted the need for a gradual transition plan that balanced operational continuity with strategic integration.

The solution

Flexible support for EOSL equipment

The solution involved gradually transitioning from on-premise systems to cloud-based solutions and hosting within the global data center. Evernex partnered with the client to support this shift, providing flexible infrastructure services that enabled better scalability, cost control, and improved compliance and risk management.

The solution provided:

  • Third-party maintenance: Ensured reliable, cost-effective support for existing IT hardware beyond OEM warranty periods, maintaining uptime during the migration phase.
  • Hardware lifecycle extension services: Prolonged the operational life of critical IT assets, reducing the need for immediate hardware investments and supporting the client’s gradual transition plan.
  • Spare parts availability: Guaranteed rapid availability of certified spare parts globally, minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity.

The outcome

Reduced IT support and replacement costs during cloud migration

The automotive financial services customer partnered with Evernex to support a multi-year migration to the parent group’s central IT core—without costly investment in new infrastructure.

Evernex provided third-party maintenance, hardware lifecycle extension, and spare parts logistics, allowing the client to maintain existing systems while gradually transitioning to cloud services and centralized hosting. This solution delivered cost savings, operational continuity, and greater flexibility, enabling the sector to meet current needs while aligning with long-term IT and compliance goals.
