KPIT Technologies: Self Transformation, Digitally

Solution Requirement

As any other company striving to serve its customers better, KPIT Technologies has been undergoing a digital transformation of its own. As companies adopt digital technologies, a considerable transformation is required in the underlying IT infrastructure to support digital initiatives.

Solution Deployment

This is mainly because of the substantial difference between architecture of digital applications and traditionally monolithic applications. Digital applications are approaching a certain complexity with digital platforms driving micro services architecture which scale dynamically. These apps also execute memory computing in real time, work on structured and unstructured data sources simultaneously, and provide real time search capabilities.

Additionally, they connect with different data sources like IT, OT, IoT technologies, and work on hybrid cloud architecture. With a combination of unified computing system and a policy-based architecture, it successfully simplified and accelerated its application delivery. KPIT adopted the software-centric architecture that tightly integrates compute, storage, networking and virtualization resources, and is called a hyper-convergence infra.

Solution Benefits

Post this implementation, KPIT experienced improving agility, increase flexibility, and a reduced capex/opex. With the automation, the application infrastructure deployment was accelerated.
By automating multiple automated tasks, the overall efficiency increased and the IT administration efforts has been reduced by 40 percent. Additionally, self service capabilities and workflows have increased customer satisfaction, and reduced overall provisioning as well as decommissioning
time frame.
