Typical Client Results

April 24th, 2009

Typical results are faster time to market, better adaptability and reduced costs.

Organizations we worked with were able to:

  • Restart and finish an IT infrastructure refresh program, which was dying a slow death. The result of the new IT infrastructure increased the bottom line by US$20 million in an organization with 8000 workplaces.
  • Implement a completely new centralized IT infrastructure for 1000 users throughout the country to support new business initiatives. The project included the migration of all file server and email data from Novell to Microsoft, which was executed in a record five months and 10% below budget.
  • Create a mirror active datacenter using server and storage virtualization within six months to meet a final deadline for disaster tolerance compliance.
  • Solve ailing performance issues with the organization’s main enterprise applications. Besides having an improved on-line performance, the better performing systems now allowed for extended business hours as the nightly batch window was reduced by three hours.

“Peter designed a disaster-resilient, completely virtualized, twin data center for KPMG NL that was implemented in just six months. His pragmatic creativity and to-the-point approach, combined with a cheerful personality, worked out great.”

“You can count on Peter as an experienced and reliable colleague, partner, or expert counsel. We collaborated in making the Ernst & Young organization arrive at major IT decisions concerning leading-edge technologies. This not only enabled the business, always our focus, but over the years generated millions of dollars of savings due to choosing cost-effective solutions (even when these did not seem so initially). Peter was a wise counsel and always did the hard work required to make informed decisions. He earned the respect of the global organization and led our IT knowledge infrastructure group.”
