European Manufacturer Modernizes Supply Chain and Operations
A leading European industrial manufacturing company specialized in ball bearings, seals, and lubrication systems modernized their technology infrastructure to boost operational efficiency and sustainability. Leveraging DXC Technology's expertise, the company migrated key business assets to a flexible, multicloud environment, predominantly on Microsoft Azure. Security operations were consolidated and modernized using Microsoft Sentinel, resulting in central governance, tighter security, and rapid vulnerability response. The firm also transitioned mission-critical SAP systems from ECC to SAP S/4HANA in the cloud, enabling automated testing, improved master data governance, and enhanced business analytics. Microsoft Office 365 E5 was implemented for secure collaboration among 40,000+ users. These changes support aggressive sustainability goals by improving operational flexibility and reducing carbon emissions. DXC's long-standing relationship with the manufacturer enabled smooth project delivery under tight deadlines. Automated processes, enhanced collaboration, user empowerment, and streamlined business decision-making are now central to the company’s operations. The modernization initiative not only improved business agility but also strengthened security resilience against new and emerging threats.
