Case Study: Hays achieves seamless global cloud migration with Version 1

Hays migrates 1,700 VMs to multi-cloud with Version 1

Hays, a global leader in recruitment, faced the challenge of migrating its critical infrastructure and applications from closing datacenters by a fixed 2025 deadline. The mission-critical systems, including a large European PeopleSoft payroll deployment, required a move to the cloud to ensure business continuity, future-proof operations, and meet the urgent timeline. To address this, Hays partnered with Version 1 for their expertise in hyperscale cloud adoption and PeopleSoft migration.

Version 1 executed a multi-cloud migration to AWS, Azure, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, moving over 1,700 VMs and 585TB of data with no downtime or data loss. The solution included strategic planning, vendor negotiation, and the adoption of their ASPIRE managed service. The results ensured business continuity, operational resilience, and cost optimization. Hays achieved a modern, scalable cloud environment that supports their global workforce seamlessly.
