Case Study: a Europe-based global manufacturer cuts mainframe TCO by 20%+ with HCLTech’s Mainframe as a Service

Europe-based global manufacturer cuts mainframe TCO by 20%+ with HCL

A Europe-based global manufacturer faced challenges managing its complex mainframe environment, which supported critical global operations but had become difficult to maintain. To improve efficiency and reduce costs, the company partnered with HCL, which implemented a Mainframe as a Service (MFaaS) model.

HCL's solution involved creating a standardized, shared MFaaS environment with new-generation equipment and an IT service catalog. This approach simplified operations and optimized mainframe capacity. The engagement delivered a over 20% reduction in total cost of ownership, a 10% smaller infrastructure footprint, and 15% fewer human-error incidents, all with zero transition risk for the customer.
