Innovation Consultancy Builds Its First Consolidated Datacentre With Help From Dell, Reducing Total Cost of Ownership by 25 Per Cent

Altran is a leading innovation consultancy. Due to several mergers and acquisitions, the company's IT systems were complex and disparate, which made systems management difficult. IT team wanted to standardise these systems by installing common software solutions across Altran's 150 companies. The company worked with Dell to design and build a new data-centre to reduce complexity and simplify IT management. Running on Dell PowerEdge Servers, the new Data-centre forms the foundation for deploying common systems across the company, including an intranet, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and email applications.
