The challenge

Holistic modernisation and consolidation of the system and support landscape

As part of the collaboration with Standard Life, the technical infrastructure was optimised by migrating Micro Focus Quality Centre, including reinstallation, data migration, and project cleanup, to ensure system stability and future viability.

Furthermore, several maintenance contracts were consolidated to reduce administrative complexity, increase transparency, and create long-term planning certainty. The aim was to strategically simplify the IT and support landscape and minimise risks.

Objective

Create a clear database

Creating a future-proof system basis

The structured migration to the current version of Quality Centre restored manufacturer support and established a modern, high-performance platform.

Ensure data integrity and operational security

A stable and low-risk transition was ensured with comprehensive backups, snapshots and the targeted review and clean-up of existing projects.

Consolidate system and project landscape

Projects that were no longer required were archived and active projects were migrated in a structured manner, thereby significantly improving the transparency and maintainability of the environment.

Simplify contract structures and increase transparency

By merging several maintenance contracts into one central contract, the administrative complexity was reduced and a standardised control framework was created.

Optimise costs and ensure price stability

The consolidation enabled savings in the double-digit percentage range and created reliable budget and planning security thanks to a multi-year term.

Ensure sustainable expandability

Both the modernised system platform and the consolidated maintenance contract offer the opportunity to integrate future requirements and new products in a structured and efficient manner.
