Cognizant Helps ACCO Move to Cloud

Cognizant has enabled ACCO Brands Corp. to cloud-enable its IT infrastructure for improved business agility, performance and reduced costs.
 
By migrating mission-critical workloads in enterprise SAP systems from an on-premise data center to the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and implementing a pay-per-use Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) model, ACCO Brands has improved the flexibility, availability and scalability of its IT environment, reducing risk and enabling it to quickly respond to changing business requirements.
 
Cognizant, a strategic partner to Microsoft and SAP, has worked with ACCO Brands for more than 10 years in a number of areas. Leveraging its experience with the ACCO IT infrastructure and its Cognizant Cloud Steps Transformation Framework, Cognizant designed and successfully executed an accelerated cloud migration and implementation for ACCO Brands with no business disruption. Hosting SAP applications on Azure and simultaneously upgrading underlying technologies lowers capital and operating expenses and provides a foundation for the digital enablement of the enterprise, including using advanced analytics for greater business insight.
