UTI AMC

Vision

Laying the foundations for the future of IT

In an increasingly competitive business landscape, UTI AMC needed to create new and innovative financial products while continuing to deliver best-in-class services to their customers. The need to revamp their legacy infrastructure became a key business imperative, as their innovation-led growth strategy relied on the capabilities a modern environment would provide.

Another significant concern was the management and security of the future, modernized IT landscape. They needed a partner who could provide a high-quality, transparent and flexible managed services model, providing visibility, governance and operational efficiency.

To ensure that this would drive increased efficiency, managing costs was key. The asset management market is extremely competitive and UTI AMC needed to ensure that pivoting to an innovation-led growth strategy, delivered through modernized IT infrastructure could be done while optimizing operational costs. Clearly, a predictable, yet cost-effective solution to reduce capex and significantly improve system performance was needed.

Transformation

Leveraging a history of delivery

UTI AMC partnered with us to take advantage of our expertise in managing complex and mission-critical multicloud environments, delivering similar solutions to India’s largest organizations, and our expertise in cloud transformation, large data center migrations and agile platform-delivered managed services. Equally critical was the ability to demonstrate tangible cost optimization while enhancing visibility, governance and performance of their IT estate.

Improved infrastructure agility through cloud transformation

Working together, they deployed a managed multicloud environment to drive enhanced productivity. Their business-critical, customer-facing applications are hosted on AWS, with our team providing management capabilities. At the same time, they’ve reduced the cost and complexities of conventional DR practices through our VMware-based public cloud platform, SimpliCloud. This met their requirements for a high-performance solution while ensuring greater resiliency and agility and delivering significant cost efficiencies through the reduction of upfront costs and capex.

Transforming the legacy landscape through a secure data center, multi-cloud and Managed Services

At the same time as they moved key applications to the cloud, they opted to use our Mumbai 5 Data Center to colocate their legacy infrastructure, giving them proximity to multiple cloud services. This enabled them to migrate their legacy infrastructure and applications quickly and efficiently to the cloud.

Protecting against an evolving threat landscape through our platform-delivered security services

They also chose to utilize our endpoint security suite across the IaaS landscape, comprising network, security, server, compute, storage, OS and DB. The High Security Module services delivered through our global security platforms provide another layer of security while their multi-layered security architecture helps manage and mitigate a growing threat landscape.

Seamless services integration across the enterprise

We delivered an enterprise-grade service management platform that now forms the core for IT services across the entire client organization. This optimizes the tracking of issues and tickets across the different teams, resulting in greatly improved resolution rates, complementing the visibility and insight provided by the service management platform.
