Case Study: a leading UK digital fashion retailer achieves reduced operational risk and credible disaster recovery with Sopra Steria’s IBM zCloud solution

Leading UK Digital Fashion Retailer delivers first true credible DR solution with Sopra Steria

A leading UK digital fashion retailer faced the challenge of replacing its on-premise mainframe to reduce operational risk and increase resilience without causing disruptive outages. To future-proof its IT infrastructure and ensure assured disaster recovery, the customer selected an IBM zCloud solution and partnered with Sopra Steria for the transition.

Sopra Steria designed the network approach and configuration for the zCloud solution, enabling a secure bulk data transfer and implementing mainframe changes to improve resilience. The high-risk project was delivered early and within budget, resulting in the customer's first true credible disaster recovery solution. Sopra Steria's work significantly reduced operational risk, provided flexibility for varying processing demands, and ensured no adverse impact on system performance post-migration.
