ZugEstates AG and Hotelbusiness Zug AG Focus on Business Development
The IT infrastructures of the publicly listed ZugEstates AG and its subsidiary Hotelbusiness Zug AG had become outdated. Instead of investing large sums into IT, both organisations decided to completely outsource their IT infrastructure and allocate their internal resources to strengthen their digital capabilities.
Thanks to Metagon, we now have a stable, modern, and forward-looking IT platform that allows us to invest sustainably in digitalisation and move our business forward.
Challenge
Due to the different IT infrastructure requirements of the two companies, a partner needed to be found through two parallel tenders. At the same time, the client's preference was for both migrations to be carried out within one project with the same partner for efficiency reasons.
Solution
This was a complex task, considering that ZugEstates follows a "Cloud First" approach with mobile workstations, while Hotelbusiness Zug favours a traditional solution hosted in the provider’s data centre. The only common factor was the two WAN lines at the shared location.
Together with the provider, the two transformations were planned in separate workstreams within the same project. This approach helped prevent duplication of efforts through a unified project organisation and coordination, allowing synergies to be leveraged.
Results
The parallelisation of the two transformations was challenging for all parties involved, but the successful migration, despite limited resources, was only made possible thanks to this approach. Both companies were able to start using their new outsourced infrastructures and services within nine months of the project’s start. The internal IT now focuses on digitalising and further developing the business.
