CLIENT’S CHALLENGE
When a large, influential financial services company was implementing Platform as a Service (PaaS), they realized that their operating model needed a significant amount of automation to improve operations in both the existing and new environments.
Support for the existing platform was mostly manual; the new strategy needed to move the organization from simply fulfillment to effectively maintaining and managing PaaS solutions.
