challenge

Digita has operations in several different business areas, and many of these businesses develop and offer cloud services in addition to the basic infrastructure.

The challenge was that Digita's cloud environments were not managed holistically, but had formed islands between which better coherence was needed. There was also a need to create a shared understanding of these environments and their functionality across business units and to strengthen internal competencies across business boundaries.

Digita was looking for a strategic cloud partner that could provide end-to-end cloud management, security development and business synchronisation in a multi-vendor environment.

solution

The development of cloud environments was an obvious solution due to the technical requirements of the services provided by Digita. Cloud2 was a natural choice as Digita's cloud partner, as Cloud2 has been Digita's cloud partner since 2019. The existing good relationship and effective collaboration provided a solid foundation for building a strategic cloud ecosystem and infrastructure.

In 2021, Cloud2 set out to strengthen the cloud expertise of Digita's own organisation and act as a versatile cloud services partner. The management of Digita's cloud environment started by building a continuously maintained cloud management model using Cloud2's Governance as a Service. As part of this service, a cloud governance team was formed to lead and manage cloud development for Digitala to resolve the communication of disparate business functions. Automated Landing Zones were created on the public clouds used by Digita, on top of which business cloud services and applications were migrated. With Cloud2's Managed Cloud service, Digita's cloud environment was taken under Cloud2's 24/7 monitoring and management.

Cloud2 complements Digita's own cloud expertise, especially its architecture and infrastructure expertise, and also works agilely and independently with Digita's other partners to ensure optimal systems build.

In autumn 2022, Digita also implemented Cloud2 Spotter, a cloud management tool developed by Cloud2 that provides a clear view of the status, costs, security and CO2 emissions of Digita's multicloud environment. Offering a real-time cloud view, Spotter easily scales with Digita's growing cloud environment.
