IT Transformation
IT Infrastructure
Transform your IT infrastructure to support agile business needs
Legacy IT infrastructure has long been known for its cumbersome integrations, forklift upgrades, lethargic response times and ongoing high maintenance costs.
With the pace of digital expediting operations, businesses must shift to viable IT architecture and infrastructure services that offer scale-out flexibility and real-time insight agility, at a low operating cost — or risk losing out to the competition.
Each and every business has unique IT infrastructure requirements tailored to people, processes and technology. As such, when transforming IT infrastructure, businesses need a carefully considered strategy that will meet business needs today and tomorrow.
Optimise your IT infrastructure strategy and reduce costs
Responsible for extracting maximum value from data, Infrastructure underpins business operations. When business IT Infrastructure is managed in silos, not only does this result in an inept ability to achieve holistic insight and visibility across departments, but it slows the transformation of business processes completely, while simultaneously mounting costs.
IT Infrastructure transformation supports driving down operating costs, while increasing business agility. Key considerations for transformation include:
- Re-evaluating high-cost applications: Identifying the cost per user for maintaining legacy applications on dedicated Infrastructure.
- Identifying security risks: Identifying the risks associated with owning Infrastructure, in place of subscription-based models.
- Analysing data centre footprints: Deploying scalable, high-performing Infrastructure that grows in tandem with your business.
However, without a solid IT architecture, businesses may miss the boat to capitalise ahead of competitors.
IT transformation highlights the true cost of a business’ Infrastructure footprint, which can then be used to build initiatives that target cost reduction and risk management.

Delivering Infrastructure ROI today, and tomorrow
An Australian-owned financial institution engaged CDRU to conduct a major digital transformation program. The aim of the transformation was to enable the business to provide digital banking offerings, in line with competitor offerings.
The challenge:
To alleviate the pressures on existing Infrastructure, optimising it for the new digital banking offerings to come.
The solution:
By freeing the existing Infrastructure from “run” activities and diverting focus towards the digital transformation initiatives, CDRU was able to identify key pain-points of the existing system.
CDRU delivered the IT Infrastructure transformation through:
- Reducing the cost of maintaining the existing Infrastructure.
- Scaling the Infrastructure with cloud adoption.
- Increasing services levels in maintaining the existing Infrastructure.
- Reducing risk associated with managing legacy Infrastructure.
- Avoiding capital expenditure for refreshing Infrastructure.
- Reclaiming storage space and costs associated with on-premise data centres.
- Maintaining current serviceability to staff and branch offices by providing onsite service calls as required.
The outcome:
CDRU sourced a suitable Infrastructure system that addressed and alleviated all the challenges experienced by the financial institution, to deploy their new digital banking offering.
As part of the procurement process, CDRU ensured that the new Infrastructure was delivered at an optimal cost and more importantly had low ongoing maintenance costs. Successfully managing the daily run activities also ensure that deployment of the new Infrastructure took place quicker than anticipated, exceeding expectations on all fronts.
