Case Study: Centene Corporation achieves nationwide IT asset consolidation and cost reductions by migrating 1,300 devices with Align

Align Drives IT Asset Consolidation Efforts Across Six Data Centers in Nation-Wide Migration

Centene Corporation, a multinational healthcare enterprise, needed to migrate about 1,300 devices between six nationwide data centers and decommission three primary facilities. Centene engaged Align to manage the migration, consolidation and decommissioning, while contending with weekly device and schedule changes, rollback planning, data-center logistics and COVID-related resource constraints.

Align conducted physical current-state assessments and inventories, classified devices as Migrate/Repurpose/Decommission, performed continual site revalidation and labeling, and executed a comprehensive migration and relocation program. In less than six months Align migrated 1,300 devices, decommissioned three facilities, completed the work on time and on budget, helped Centene avoid significant extension fees, reduced future operational run rate, and mitigated technology operational risk.
