Cloud SmartShift - IT Transformation with Arvato Systems

Ready For the Cloud?

Many roads lead to the cloud. But which is the right one? Using the ‘SmartShift’ approach, Arvato Systems leads companies on the path from business idea, to IT strategy, to implementation of an IT transformation.

Bring your company into the future – achieve your IT transformation during active operation

With the SmartShift approach, the transformation takes place step by step and factors in all levels based on your requirements – PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS. Many IT managers delay cloud transformation because they believe that the risk of carrying out a comprehensive transition is too high and because it is difficult to determine in advance whether or not it will be possible to achieve the desired results. The smart transformation process takes place step by step, thereby ensuring a low-risk transition. You as the client determine the speed of your individual transformation.

"SmartShift" approach by Arvato Systems

This is how the path from a classically operated IT infrastructure to a partially automated environment to a fully automated software-defined data center works.

IT transformations always constitute complex projects. Our goal is to make this transition an achievable objective by dividing it into manageable units and by concentrating on the most important aspects. VMWare gives us the flexibility to proactively control the status, performance, and capacity of IT services in a range of cloud environments.
