IT Infrastructure Case Study: Auxis Helps Carve-Out Beat Aggressive Separation Deadline from Global Healthcare Corporation

25 Year Anniversary

CLIENT PROFILE

Our South Florida-based client provides a world-class Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) solution. Its product suite helps improve quality and safety throughout product lifecycles for more than 1,100 organizations in 60 countries. Since 1986, its business has grown to about 300 employees and 17 offices worldwide. Previously part of a leading global healthcare corporation, the client was recently acquired by a global private equity investment firm that specializes in partnering with technology businesses.

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Accounts Receivable Outsourcing

To cancel the pricey Temporary Separation Agreement (TSA) that had the seller continuing to operate IT for up to 9 months during the transition, the client was incentivized to quickly separate into a standalone organization. However, carving out its IT infrastructure and standing up IT operations represented a key challenge, with no IT team or leadership included as part of the divestiture to offer support.

 IT Infrastructure Case Study: Challenges

With no IT infrastructure staff or even a CIO to lead the organization, the client didn’t have a vision of what it needed to separate from the selling company, as well as the costs and changes involved.

The client lacked the expertise to design, select, and implement an entirely new IT infrastructure platform , including end-user workstation imaging, productivity software (Messaging, Document Collaboration), voice services, business application and server migrations, security services, and IT governance and controls.

The TSA period was short , based on the complexity and dependencies of the existing IT platform.

Policies and procedures used to govern IT at the giant-sized, complex healthcare corporation didn’t translate to the smaller carve-out company. The client needed to design and implement new policies and procedures that could deliver the speed and agility it required while also supporting its new modern technologies.

Collaborating with a significantly larger, bureaucratic selling company can prove challenging during a carve-out . This deal was no exception: leading to friction, delays, and difficulty obtaining accurate information promptly. The seller also attempted to change direction after a migration approach was approved, causing additional delays while it was convinced the original proposal was correct

In addition to the 300 employees and contractors included in the divestiture, the client was hiring new staff and forming a new corporate culture at the same time it was building a technology footprint – triggering some delays and misunderstandings.

The small Project Management Office (PMO) spearheading the carve-out opted to run each departmental divestiture as a unique workstream instead of a unified program. This approach created some conflicts over competing priorities as it scrambled to simultaneously carve out key areas like Finance, HR, IT, Marketing, and Commercial Sales.

SOLUTION & APPROACH

cloud-42

A longtime partner of the private equity investment firm acquiring the client’s business, Auxis was tapped to lead the separation and buildout of the new standalone company’s core IT infrastructure services and supporting processes.

After a comprehensive discovery and planning process that included a full inventory, the Auxis team used its 24+ years of extensive IT expertise to design a new infrastructure platform and network redesign, separation, and migration strategy.

While the selling corporation kept its infrastructure on-premises, the separating company had already undergone an AWS cloud implementation that predominantly hosted its LIMS solution for clients. Moving the new company servers to the existing, modernized cloud platform - while strengthening the architecture and security - was the right strategy for the carve-out.

Auxis also proposed hiring a temporary CIO-as-a-service as a critical first step . Filling this role not only put a strong leader in place to manage the IT function but created awareness and communication with other workstreams operated by the carve-out SMO (Separation Management Office) to avoid misunderstandings.

To meet the client’s aggressive TSA deadline, Auxis implemented daily standups and action planning that ensured agility and quick change adaptation from its teams. The project included a project manager and solutions architect to deliver the expected results, as well as additional resources and overtime to compress the delivery schedule - especially during the end-of-year holiday season.

Auxis divided the carve-out transition plan into five tracks, securing licensing for all office applications, operating systems, and cloud services:

Track 1: End-User Computing and Mobility

Track 1: Checkpoint 1

Design, creation, and deployment of desktop images and technologies.

Track 1: Checkpoint 2

Consolidation and migration of all business and desktop applications.

Track 1: Checkpoint 3

Implementation of MS-Intune with Autopilot, enabling global end-users to run the brand-new workstation image on their desktops and mobile devices with automated software deployments and updates.

Track 2: Microsoft 365 Migration

Track 2: Checkpoint 1

Implementing a new Microsoft 365 tenant, allowing end-users to run a suite of cloud-based Microsoft products that includes email, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams.

Track 2: Checkpoint 2

Selection, design, and migration of voice services to Microsoft Teams.

Track 3: Networking

Track 3: Checkpoint 1

Design, planning, and migration of a segregated LAN/WAN network.

Track 3: Checkpoint 2

New network and telecom circuits connecting global locations across the U.S., France, Germany, U.K., Netherlands, and China to the cloud platform.

Track 3: Checkpoint 3

Implementation of an end-user VPN solution.

Track 4: Server Migration

Track 4: Checkpoint 1

Creation of a hybrid server infrastructure. That included migration of hundreds of AWS EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances from the seller’s on-premise VMWare environment.

Track 5: Security Tools Implementation

Without any security technologies to migrate from the seller’s environment, Auxis recommended the implementation of multiple solutions designed to protect users and infrastructure, including:

Track 5: Checkpoint 1

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) to add a layer of protection to the sign-in process.

Track 5: Checkpoint 2

Email security using Proofpoint technologies.

Track 5: Checkpoint 3

Microsoft Defender for Cloud to detect vulnerabilities in servers and workstations.

Track 5: Checkpoint 4

Microsoft Defender URL Content Filtering to protect against advanced web-based threats and data theft while on and off the corporate network.

Track 5: Checkpoint 5

Microsoft Defender antivirus monitoring for nearly 700 computers, servers, and mobile devices.

Track 5: Checkpoint 6

Knowbe4 Security Awareness Training for end-users.

To accelerate completion of the IT carve-out, Auxis made sure all pieces were in place to start the migration as soon as the acquisition closed. The client now operates successfully as a standalone entity, working on its own IT domain and cloud tenant with Auxis as its end-user and infrastructure management provider.

Key results include:

IT infrastructure case study: IT TSA Termination

Early IT TSA Termination

Auxis helped the client save millions by completing the IT carve-out on-time within six months . With successful standalone operations, the client was able to stop paying for the IT TSA about three months before it expired.

IT infrastructure case study: End-User Migration

Seamless End-User Migration

With a proven migration strategy, Auxis enabled zero disruptions to the client’s 268 employees and 120 subcontractors during the transition. That includes the imaging of employee computers worldwide and provisioning of AWS workspaces for contractors, as well as migration of 400 mailboxes, 23 SharePoint sites (and their libraries), and OneDrive for 388 users to the new Microsoft 365 tenant.

IT infrastructure case study: Modern IT Cloud Infrastructure

Maximizing the Value of a Modern IT Cloud Infrastructure

The Auxis team designed and implemented a robust cloud migration and infrastructure strategy – delivering accelerated and achievable results aligned with the new company’s business goals. With its server infrastructure running smoothly, the client has been able to reap cloud benefits like cost efficiencies, increased speed to market, enhanced agility, and 24/7 redundancy.

IT infrastructure case study: Divestiture of Other Department

Easing the Divestiture of Other Department

With every department ultimately dependent on reliable IT operations, completing the IT carve-out quickly and successfully supports the separation of other business functions.

IT infrastructure case study: Corporate Network

Corporate Network Built with Redundancy in Mind

Auxis designed the new network to eliminate single points of failure, ensuring better stability and uptime during events that would otherwise take it offline . For instance, the design includes global telecom circuits and redundant end-user VPN platforms and office firewalls.

IT infrastructure case study: IT infrastructure controls and procedures

World-Class IT Policies, Procedures, and Governance Practice

With the seller’s IT practices mostly inapplicable, the Auxis team used its deep industry and IT experience to create and implement best-in-class, structured IT processes and governance practices for the new company. Auxis defined and implemented IT infrastructure controls and procedures. It also implemented monthly operational reporting , using analytics to help the client create visibility, measure performance, and address issues before they impact the business.

IT infrastructure case study: IT Partnership

Continued Partnership

Pleased with the success of the IT carve out, the client decided to outsource day-to-day IT management and operations to Auxis Managed Services at the end of the migration. That includes 24/7 service desk support for end-users, End-Point Management and Support, 24/7 cloud and on-premises infrastructure network management, security, and Microsoft 365 services.

The client also tapped Auxis to support another carve-out phase, defining HR processes and procedures for onboarding and offboarding employees.

Real-time it infrastructure information system.

Our client is a comprehensive IT management company specializing in documenting and visually managing all enterprise assets, critical infrastructure and interconnectivity between systems, networks, users, locations and services. Their comprehensive Configuration Management System consolidates an organization’s IT/Telecom network assets and connectivity in one repository. Their services provide the insights necessary to maintain critical operations and create a more complete visual picture of an enterprise IT network environment.

The client had an existing application for organizing the site and infrastructure architectural design along with related information for their client companies. However, they required several improvements in order to maintain a quality service for their growing number of clients. One issue they faced was that their application was not accessible on all mobile devices. The interface was cumbersome and not user-friendly, which created several system hiccups and delays. The collected information needed to be stored back to the database in the form of a PDF for further action. In addition, they needed new administrative features to manage data and user profile information.

Real-time IT Infrastructure Information System

AllianceTek was great -- I'm not a software developer, so a lot of times they had to translate our desired functionality into SF-speak, but they did it quite well. The support was extraordinary, and they took pains to make sure that our product worked well. Very thankful to them and our client representative.

The client sought the assistance of AllianceTek, a software and IT solutions company that specializes in developing custom solutions that meet the unique needs of a business. AllianceTek carefully studied the challenges of the company and listened to their issues and requirements. One requirement was for AllianceTek to redesign the application without altering the existing code or logic. AllianceTek transformed the existing web-based application into a responsive design application and implemented a new design without changing the existing logic or code. The redesigned application has a number of new features that increase control, usability, scalability and business intelligence. It enables users to generate mapping, flooring and architectural layout design, along with related information, in a PDF format that the system automatically archives after a period of time. Users can also share this information through social networks. In addition, a new customized dashboard allows much easier use of the application on all devices, anywhere and anytime, while a scheduler form and internal scheduler feature help manage jobs and historical data related to the jobs with the facility to look up relevant information.

Implementation

AllianceTek’s offshore and onshore teams collaborated to develop the redesign using HTML5 and jQuery, giving users the ability to view and access the application on Windows, Blackberry, Android and tablets. The custom designed dashboard and interface was placed in both tabular and grid view with an expandable and collapsible function that can feature all the desired information on a single page. This provided a new, customized user-friendly interface that facilitates users with ease to upload archived data information. The administrative functions allow users to view, delete, schedule, regenerate and share all generated PDFs, edit and update profile information related to the user and manage a specific job’s schedule.

AllianceTek’s custom solution allowed the client to achieve their vision and reach their objectives by leveraging technology that fit their business structure and improved processes. We delivered a real-time information system that generates various layout designs in PDF. The system is easy to use and can be accessed from any location. As a result, the client’s Business Intelligence became more flexible and scalable, allowing them to make better, more informed decisions with reliable information. AllianceTek met the requirement of evolving the previous system’s design using the client’s existing logic to provide a full, user-friendly interface with an intuitive layout and modules that are easy to navigate.

Modernize IT for next-gen banking CX

Cloud connection of banking icons with hand holding cellphone in background

The challenge

In a bid to reduce both capital and operational expenses, a U.S. financial services provider wanted to upgrade its outdated legacy contact center. The bank wanted to add next-generation digital capabilities and significantly enhance customer experience (CX) across its 400 branches. The bank approached Cognizant for guidance on modernizing its contact center’s IT infrastructure to enable multiple digital channels and evolve into a bank of the future.

Our approach

After a thorough analysis of the bank’s existing contact center, we shared our point of view on cloud solutions and recommended AWS Connect as one of the options best-suited to the bank’s needs. We developed a detailed proof of concept modeled to the client requirements that demonstrated the effectiveness of an AWS-powered contact center platform. We shared our point of view on cloud solutions, recommended AWS Connect and developed a solid proof of concept (POC). 

Cognizant’s solution enables an omnichannel experience for customers through consistent self-service options, proactive self-service support and seamless transitions across channels while also preserving content. It maximizes automation to enhance agent productivity. The modernized contact center platform also includes Cognizant Intelligent Interactions, Amazon Lex and voice biometrics.

Cognizant worked with the bank to develop a clear IT and cloud migration strategy closely aligned with its overall business goals. This included creating an IT operating model, evaluating cloud platforms and tools, reviewing third-party best-in-class products and developing a POC. Cognizant also used deployment accelerators such as speech enablement, virtual workstations and a few other aspects to speed-up implementation timeline.

It infrastructure modernisation case study..

17th July 2018

We don’t disclose our clients details online because it encourages our competitors to make annoying sales calls! We’ll be happy to provide you with client references when the time is right.

Our client is a Small Business that supplies bathroom fittings to both Commercial and Residential Customers across the UK. They operate a local walk-in service from their store that is located on the Essex/East London border and a mail order delivery service for nationwide customers.

The challenges., the client’s hardware was outdated and becoming unreliable..

Our client’s IT Infrastructure was badly outdated and in urgent need of a refresh. Their existing server hardware was nearly 10 years old and it was becoming unstable and unreliable.  In addition, the server was running an outdated Small Business Server operating system that is no longer supported by Microsoft. This presented a huge security risk to the client because security updates and patches for the operating system were no longer available.

All of the existing desktop PCs in the office were suffering from slow performance because of their age. In addition, the Operating Systems on the PCs are close to end-of-life, presenting another Security risk to the client.

IT Infrastructure Upgrade Case Study

Poor Wireless Network Connectivity was also causing major problems.

The client was using a Wireless Access Point that was designed for home use, and not for use in a commercial environment.

This was causing severe wireless connectivity issues between the staff in the office and the stock room, slowing down the sales order process, affecting productivity and profitability.

Our Solution.

1. make the transition from an on-premise server to office 365..

Following a site survey and a detailed report presented to the client, Ohso technical designed and implemented the following transition from an on-premise server to Office 365 Business Premium:

  • Migrate all client data to SharePoint Online – The clients existing electronic documents and files were successfully migrated from their dated server to SharePoint Online, a highly efficient document management solution that is part of Office 365 Business Premium subscription.
  • Migrate all client Email accounts to Exchange Online – The clients entire Email configuration was successfully migrated from their existing Small Business server to Exchange Online, Microsoft’s cloud-based Email hosting service that is also part of the Office 365 Business Premium subscription. The migration to Exchange Online included all of the staff email inboxes, calendar’s, task lists and signatures.
  • Implement a new Office 365 Backup and recovery solution – We replaced the clients on-premise backup solution with a Cloud-based Automated Office 365 Backup service that backs up the clients Exchange, calendar and contact data, in addition to all the client’s data that is hosted on SharePoint Online.

Dell IT Infrastructure Upgrade Case Study

2. Replace the existing Computers with new PCs.

  • Update the existing desktop machines to the latest Dell OptiPlex 3060 PCs – We replaced all of the clients outdated computers with new generation Dell OptiPlex Small Form Factor PCs. These PCs are powerful, cost-effective and take up little space in the office. We also provided the client with 24” monitors and setup dual monitor stands for every employee.
  • Migrate Sage Accounts – The client uses a locally installed version of Sage 50 accounts for quotations and invoicing. We successfully migrated the local version of Sage Line 50 to Sage Business Cloud Accounting and now all the staff can access the accounts software from their internet browser.
  • Decommission the Server – Once the transition from the client’s on-premise server to Office 365 was completed, we decommissioned the server, ready for recycling.
  • Recycling – Once the client’s hardware was replaced, we arranged for all of the old hardware to be professionally recycled and all hard drives to be crushed by our WEEE compliant IT Recycling partner.

Ubiquiti WAP Upgrade Case Study

3. Replace the home Wireless Access Point with a Commercial WAP solution.

  • Install a new Ubiquiti Wireless Access Point – We replaced our clients existing Wireless Access Point with a Ubiquiti UniFi Wireless access point. Designed for use in a commercial environment, these access points are up to 5 times faster than a standard 802.11n access point that you’ll find in many offices.

This Access Point gives our client maximum wireless performance and coverage throughout their premises.  In addition, the Ubiquiti access point can be managed remotely by our helpdesk team. This allows us to monitor traffic on the network and keep the access point up to date with the latest updates and patches.

The Outcome.

With the help of Ohso Technical, the client now has a modern IT infrastructure that has been future-proofed by migrating all of the Company’s data and emails from their on-premise server to the cloud-based Office 365 platform.

The Company Director is happy because they have saved thousands of pounds in hardware costs. The initial costs associated with purchasing a new on-premise server and licencing has been replaced with an affordable ‘per user’ monthly fee for Office 365 Business Premium.

We have assured our clients Business Continuity by replacing their outdated on-premise backup solution with a dedicated ‘GDPR compliant’ online automated backup service for Office 365.

The staff are happy because their antiquated PCs have been replaced with new generation computers that are much faster and far more reliable, which means that everyone is more productive and far less stressed!

Thanks to the new Ubiquiti hardware, Wireless Internet connectivity throughout the building is lightning fast and far more reliable.

Lastly, the accounts department can now Access Sage via the Cloud, allowing them to work from home, or from any PC in the office.
