Case Study: Leading Canadian Utility achieves IT optimization and cloud migration with Persistent Systems and Software AG Alfabet

Transforming IT Operations for a Canadian Utility Giant with Software AG’s Alfabet

Persistent Systems worked with a leading Canadian utility serving nearly a million electricity and natural gas customers. The utility was challenged by a complex on-premises, database-centric IT environment that limited strategic planning, hid dependencies, and made it difficult to optimize IT costs and prioritize what to move to the cloud.

Persistent Systems implemented Software AG’s Alfabet portfolio management and enterprise architecture solution using the Alfabet Accelerator, migrating data to the cloud and providing configuration, best practices, and knowledge transfer. The result is a more transparent and governable IT landscape, with targets to reduce applications from 450+ to 400, migrate 20% of applications to the cloud within three years, and manage 600+ technologies and components to improve decision-making, cut maintenance costs, and reduce risk.
