Case Study: Pimkie achieves €300,000 in savings with Google Cloud and CGI

Pimkie Moves fashion forward by migrating two data centers, 300 VMs, and 150 apps with Google Cloud and CGI

Pimkie, the French fashion retailer, needed to modernize an outdated IT environment and shut down two on-premises data centers while keeping operations running. Looker helped support the cloud migration effort, using Google Cloud services and partner CGI to assess the infrastructure and plan a lift-and-modernize approach for more than 300 VMs and 150 applications.

Looker and its partners implemented the migration on Google Cloud, modernized key workloads, and ensured business applications stayed connected and secure. The project finished in 12 months and delivered €300,000 in savings, about 70% less than the cost of maintaining the data centers, while also improving scalability, agility, and security.
