Case Study: HCL Infosystems achieves lower costs, improved uptime and seamless scalability with Microsoft Azure

HCL Infosystems take the Azure route

HCL Infosystems, a leading IT services, distribution and digital solutions company in India and the Asia Pacific region, faced an aging on‑premise infrastructure that delivered inconsistent application performance, lacked disaster recovery, and was costly to rebuild or scale. With growing mobile and market demands, the company needed a cost‑effective, scalable, and resilient platform that could be rapidly provisioned and upgraded.

After evaluating major cloud providers, HCL chose Microsoft Azure for its performance, management simplicity and partnership support, and executed a phased migration beginning with non‑critical systems plus active stakeholder communication. Post‑migration HCL gained standardized performance, built‑in backup and DR, pay‑as‑you‑go cost efficiency, improved uptime, scalable bursting capacity, faster time to market and lower total cost of ownership.
