Global Power + Renewable Energy Giant Reduces On-Prem Costs

The Challenge

One of the world’s largest names in power and renewable energy required the resources, talent, and planning assistance needed to shift its applications out of on-premises data centers and into a cloud environment. The transition required decommissioning old servers, introducing stronger security protocols, and running an awareness campaign to help current customers understand the scope of the company’s new cloud offerings.

These requirements spanned several connected areas: preparing client-site infrastructure, coordinating application integration, working across network and security teams, optimizing customer-facing digital resources, and managing risk in virtual and cloud-adjacent environments. The client needed coordinated expertise to support the migration and help its business units adopt the new environment.

The Solution

Aditi deployed a Remote Access Manager, a Technical Project Manager, a Cloud Engineer and Analyst, and a Senior IT Risk Leader with project-management competencies to assist the client with the migration and support project completion. Each role addressed a distinct but connected part of the transition.

• Remote Access Manager: During decommissioning, this individual oversaw and allocated the resources needed to build client-site infrastructure. The role included planning and implementing strategies for application integration and related components, requiring an understanding of the legal and technical requirements for the environment to function.
• Technical Project Manager: This role worked alongside multiple functional teams, including Information Security—which managed Access Control Lists (ACLs) between the cloud and internal infrastructure—as well as Network Engineering and Operations, application owners, QA testing, and DevOps. In addition to supporting team productivity, the individual helped establish internal processes for continuous monitoring, troubleshooting, and maintenance of critical machinery and IT infrastructure.
• Cloud Engineer and Analyst: This role assessed customer-facing resources and provided solutions to optimize the computing environment, including what customers could accomplish, access, and submit digitally.
• Senior IT Risk Leader: This role worked with advanced virtualization in corporate computing and supported Aditi’s and the client’s project managers in mitigating security risks. It also helped determine risk thresholds for the company’s virtual and cloud-adjacent environments, considering security risks present in the industry at the time.
