Case Study: Viewpointe cuts costs by 25% with IBM SoftLayer cloud infrastructure

SoftLayer hybrid infrastructure helps a financial services leader cut costs by 25 percent

Viewpointe, a managed service and payments provider for regulated industries, sought to reduce IT costs and boost efficiency by consolidating its internal and client-facing operations onto a single, high-performance cloud hosting infrastructure. Seeking greater agility and flexible, scalable technology, the company turned to IBM and its SoftLayer cloud platform to address this challenge.

IBM implemented a hybrid SoftLayer cloud environment for Viewpointe, migrating workloads for development, quality assurance, its corporate website, accounting, email, and demos. The solution provided a mix of bare metal and virtual servers for flexible configuration. As a result, Viewpointe reduced its costs by 25 percent and accelerated deployment times by 99.7 percent, from one week down to just 30 minutes. This new infrastructure from IBM also empowered Viewpointe to improve IT agility and extend its service portfolio globally.
