Case Study: Cummins reduces IT support costs by 58% with Sutherland's outcome-based cloud migration

Cummins cuts IT support costs by 58% with Sutherland Global Services

Cummins faced significant operational and financial challenges due to its aging on-premise data center infrastructure. The environment was costly to maintain and lacked agility, with the company confronting a $10.4 million annual data center contract renewal and the risk of $7 million in Oracle support reinstatement fees. To address this, Cummins partnered with Sutherland Global Services for a cloud migration solution using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

Sutherland implemented a comprehensive outcome-based cloud migration strategy for Cummins. This included a zero-cost migration model to shift expenses from CapEx to OpEx, the migration and modernization of over 90 applications to OCI, and the deployment of the full Oracle Cloud Security suite. As a result, Cummins achieved a 58% reduction in IT support costs and realized $6 million in annualized savings, while also avoiding the $7 million in reinstatement fees. Sutherland's solution provided Cummins with enhanced operational agility, scalability, and a future-ready IT landscape.
