Case Study: Multinational Holding Company achieves 60% server reduction and consolidates 72 locations into 7 with Device42

Multinational Holding Company - Customer Case Study

A multinational manufacturing conglomerate formed by recent acquisitions operated 70+ locations across the US and EU with seven different ERP systems, poor or missing documentation, and highly siloed IT teams. The decentralized environment included roughly 900 current and legacy servers, little network connectivity between regions, and firewall constraints that prevented straightforward cross-border discovery and integration.

Device42 was deployed with data collectors in both the US and EU to perform a 60‑day enterprise asset discovery and application dependency mapping exercise entirely remotely. The resulting Consolidation and Migration Plan enabled workload migration to the public cloud, retirement of technical debt, and consolidation of sites—cutting servers by about 60%, reducing locations from 72 to 7, and lowering server and IT headcount costs while dramatically improving visibility into the IT estate.
