Datacenter Assessment for a Leading Health and Wellness Company

One of the largest global nutrition companies with a presence in more than 90 countries.

The company’s products are designed to assist consumers in weight management, targeted nutrition, energy and fitness, and skin care. The company employs more than 7,000 people and has worldwide revenues in excess of 4 Billion dollars.

ACS was contracted by “The Company” to perform an assessment of a recently acquired data center facility. ACS was one of several partners engaged in various aspects of a project to migrate out of an outsourced Data Center to an internally managed new Data Center facility.

The client determined that working with multiple partners that did not have enterprise Data Center expertise would be detrimental to the overall success of the project. Due to ACS’s work on the project gap analysis, ACS was awarded a significantly more involved role in the project. “The Company” immediately realized that by working with ACS, they would receive more value and greater technical reach without increasing the project’s budget and that by consolidating vendors, they would be leveraging a deeper knowledgebase and technical resource pool.

By leveraging ACS, “The Company” was able to completely transform their Data Center operations expanding to a global solution with zero down time. Without increasing their Information Technology spending, the client now has access to highly skilled project manager, system architects, and implementation engineers. The client’s budget benefits from better discounts due to ACS manufacture partner agreements and certifications. Instead of just having a Data Center facility, “The Customer” has global presence and a disaster recovery facility as well.
