Challenge

International petro-chemical manufacturing company carved out resulting from a $2.5 billion purchase by a global investment firm. The new entity needed to be self-standing from an IT perspective. The new organization consisted of 26 locations in 13 countries on 5 continents.
Resulting from the sale, the new business was paying more than $2 million per month as part of a Transition Services Agreement (TSA) to the Seller.

The investment firm needed to move away from the parent company’s TSA support quickly. The challenge was the new company did not have IT infrastructure or an application environment to support the new entity. The Informatik Group (IG) was contracted to quickly architect and
implement a separation strategy with zero business disruption to data center operations. In concert with this challenge, a project management approach was needed to ensure this initiative would be successful.

Approach

The company turned to the IG who provided an expert project manager with extensive data center migration experience. Informatik Group’s project manager led a team of technical IT resources, working with additional external resources involved in the project.
