Challenge

Digital Transformation and Legacy Infrastructure Consolidation
To kickstart their digital transformation journey and overcome the challenges posed by their complex IT and security architecture, the company sought insights and expertise from industry experts like Mike Jewell and Mike Puccio. They aimed to transition from a legacy infrastructure, comprising numerous applications acquired over decades of growth, to a more agile environment that could better serve their subscribers and technician workforce.
The company grappled with the complexities of maintaining multiple legacy applications across a global enterprise. As their operations expanded, managing the outdated infrastructure became increasingly impractical. They recognized the need for a more streamlined approach to strengthen their market position and regain lost ground.
The burden of relying on a legacy subscriber activation platform further complicated matters. Onboarding new technologies required extensive administrative oversight, while the existing threat protection system left vulnerabilities in the company's architecture. Addressing these limitations became imperative to drive their digital transformation forward.
To tackle these challenges, the company acknowledged the importance of a robust hardware platform and a gradual consolidation of security and subscriber instant activation onto a unified, cloud-based solution. This strategic shift would empower them to support their digital transformation goals effectively and pave the way for a more efficient and scalable infrastructure.
