Case Study: Valassis achieves major data center transformation and cost savings with Logicalis

Logicalis teams with Valassis on a total data center transformation including a major in-sourcing migration

Valassis, a leading global media and marketing services organization, faced significant challenges due to its proliferating and inefficient data center infrastructure resulting from mergers and acquisitions. To rein in costs and risks, they partnered with Logicalis for a comprehensive data center transformation, which included a major in-sourcing migration of a critical acquired data center from a third-party provider.

Logicalis provided a full-service solution, conducting a complete evaluation of Valassis's IT needs, expanding their primary data center, and managing the complex, business-critical migration of data and applications. The project was treated as a disaster recovery exercise and executed over a 72-hour weekend. The result was a successful, centralized data center that is secure, reliable, and efficient. Logicalis helped Valassis achieve annualized cost savings of approximately $4.5 million.
