In today’s high-velocity digital landscape, a robust IT foundation fortified by multi-cloud strategies has become an indispensable asset for various enterprises. This setup provides resilient and scalable technology services and operations. A shining model of this successful adoption is the German automotive behemoth, Volkswagen Group.
Volkswagen Group IT Cloud (GITC) has been instrumental in managing the company’s IT modernization initiatives. In a significant step towards digital transformation, Volkswagen entered into collaboration with Google Cloud. The principal objective was to move their infrastructure and operations towards a microservices architecture supported by multi-clouds. This strategic partnership signifies an important stride in the realm of IT modernization, leveraged by innovation and shared expertise.
The cogency and effectiveness of this alliance can be best expressed through their joint development of the ‘landing zone.’ This unique innovation is a cloud foundation that offers distinct advantages. It bolsters Volkswagen’s multi-cloud application strategies with its inherent capabilities like interoperability, flexibility, security, and robustness.
Renowned for its stringent adherence to quality processes, Volkswagen, as a process-driven organization, required a unified approach to IT. Harnessing the power of multi-cloud strategies provided them with an ideal solution. It streamlined work operations, mitigated potential risks, and enriched user experiences by maintaining consistency and reducing complexities.
Notably, T-Systems played a pivotal role in actualizing this partnership. Drawing from its thorough understanding of Google Cloud and Agile methodologies, T-Systems steered the collaboration with Volkswagen in the right direction. They were instrumental in creating a proof of concept (POC), ensuring the skillset transfer, and keeping the project on track despite challenges.
A key highlight of this collaboration was the implementation of the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) as the heart of application deployment, scaling, and management. GKE provided an intuitive, developer-friendly environment without compromising on security and governance standards. Alongside GKE, Cloud Firestore was brought onboard for flexible, scalable, and reliable database management, offering a seamless multi-cloud experience.
The positive results of Volkswagen’s collaboration with Google Cloud and T-Systems are truly admirable. Transitioning to a fully automated microservice-based architecture, they created a self-service portal for users. This initiative modernized their IT infrastructure, elevated their operational robustness and flexibility, and drove business productivity and efficiency.
In the bid for IT modernization, Volkswagen Group, Google Cloud, and T-Systems have demonstrated a successful model of collaboration to tackle digital transformation challenges. Their collective effort and ingenuity have contributed to setting new industry standards in adopting multi-cloud strategies. They have unleashed the true potential of digital disruption, opening up several vistas of opportunities for businesses worldwide.
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can’t wait to work in many more projects together!
