Case Study: Met Office achieves cloud agility and scalability with Computacenter

Adapting the supply chain from traditional physical infrastructure to cloud-based services

The Met Office, a UK-based national weather and climate service, faced the challenge of modernizing its IT infrastructure. It needed to scale to handle vast data volumes, respond faster to market demands, and maintain its critical legacy systems and global scientific research. To address this, the Met Office partnered with Computacenter to transition from traditional physical infrastructure to cloud-based services.

Computacenter provided vendor-independent consultancy, a compliant route to market for cloud services, and developed a cloud migration strategy. The solution shifted the partnership from hardware procurement to a service-oriented model focused on driving value from the cloud. This enabled the Met Office to boost business agility, accelerate innovation, and improve productivity while Computacenter continues to support their ongoing transformation, including a recent mainframe upgrade.
