Suma Soft Modernizes IT Operations for a Global Retail Giant

Client's Background

A globally recognized retail leader operating a sophisticated, multi-channel business model, encompassing a vast network of physical stores complemented by a dynamic and high-volume online platform. The business processes millions of daily transactions and serves a diverse customer base worldwide. They are deeply committed to prioritizing uninterrupted customer service for continued success and growth.

Challenges

  • Complex IT Landscape:

    Managing a highly complex IT environment with interconnected applications, servers, networks, and cloud services presents significant operational challenges.

  • Ensuring Uninterrupted Customer Service:

    Maintaining consistent and reliable service across physical and online platforms is crucial, but given the scale and complexity of operations, this can be difficult.

  • Optimization of IT Operations:

    Continuous optimization of IT operations to ensure efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness is a constant endeavor.

  • Handling High Transaction Volume:

    Processing millions of transactions daily requires a highly resilient and performant IT infrastructure.

Project Requirements

  • Real-time IT Ecosystem Visibility:

    The project required a solution that provided real-time insights into the entire IT ecosystem to enable prompt issue detection and resolution. Real-time visibility aimed to reduce the time IT staff spent on manual infrastructure monitoring by 45%, which previously hindered effective management and quick response to incidents.

  • Integrated IT Operations Management:

    Siloed tools and manual processes created inefficiencies across an incident, problem, and change management. The project required a unified platform to integrate these functions and automate at least 60% of workflows for streamlined IT operations.

  • Change and Configuration Management:

    Frequent service outages caused by untracked changes and configuration drift negatively impacted customer satisfaction. To prevent outages and ensure service stability, the project required a solution to reduce the number of servers with configuration deviations by 35%.

  • IT Management:

    Reactive IT management practices failed to address potential problems before they escalated. The project required a shift to a proactive IT management approach, enabling the identification and resolution of critical IT incidents, with a resolution time by 50% before they impact services.

The Suma Soft Approach

Suma Soft partnered with the client to implement ServiceNow ITOM, customizing the solution to centralize operations, improve visibility, and enable proactive management of IT services. After thoroughly evaluating the client’s IT infrastructure and operational workflows, a customized roadmap was developed using ServiceNow ITOM’s advanced features to address inefficiencies and vulnerabilities.
