Even the most resilient organisations struggle to adapt in uncertain times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-economic-uncertainty-brings-unforeseen-it-challenges-nbsp\">Economic uncertainty brings unforeseen IT challenges&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A global manufacturer identified an urgent need to increase its mainframe computing power to deliver sustainable performance amid unplanned production requirements and improve its business continuity capacity. However, economic uncertainty caused budget constraints and created a barrier, along with the impending expense of new IBM hardware.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Confronted with OEM production backorders and extended lead times, the company\u2019s procurement team sought a solution to meet their needs while minimising IT spending. They identified Service Express as a potential partner because of its inventory of IBM mainframe hardware, technical expertise and third-party maintenance (TPM) services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cost-effective-hardware-solution-addresses-capacity-demands-nbsp\">Cost-effective hardware solution addresses capacity demands&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After understanding the company\u2019s hardware goals, Service Express identified, configured, delivered and installed an IBM Z system that provided an additional 10,000 MIPs capacity. Rather than undergoing a costly hardware refresh, the company opted for the previous generation of equipment, resulting in over $1 million in CapEx savings. Additionally, leveraging TPM support saved the company over $300,000 in OpEx annually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Service Express helped sustain performance during a period of disruption, uncertainty and pressure to cut costs. Now, the manufacturer can seamlessly scale its computing power to address unexpected fluctuations in production cycles with trusted infrastructure and reliable support from Service Express.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amid economic uncertainty, a global manufacturer reduced IT costs and met business needs with Service Express\u2019 data centre solutions.
