E.ON is deepening its collaboration with Microsoft and Wipro Limited as part of a multi-year agreement. By the end of 2023, E.ON will move all IT applications from its own data centers to Microsoft Azure.
Wipro will be responsible for migrating the applications. The aim is to make IT processes more flexible, to increase operational efficiency, and to accelerate the development of new solutions and services for customers and employees.
Transferring to Microsoft Azure
Currently, E.ON operates five data centers in Germany and the UK. All applications hosted here will be transferred to Microsoft Azure, thus eliminating costs for the operation and modernization of these data centers.
In addition to more efficiency, more flexible processes, and cost savings, E.ON is also taking another important step towards CO2 neutrality with cloud transformation. This is because all of Microsoft's data centers are already operated in a climate-neutral manner.
Cloud transformation
Tomorrow's energy world requires innovative and sustainable solutions
“Cloud transformation is a key element of our journey to a digital, sustainable energy future and an essential part of our Cloud First strategy,” emphasizes Sebastian Weber, CTO of E.ON.
“Tomorrow's energy world requires innovative and sustainable solutions. Microsoft's agile cloud platform, Wipro's cloud expertise and our experience in automation and artificial intelligence are contributing significantly to making E.ON even more sustainable and digital.”
Working with E.ON
“We are pleased to be working with E.ON to jointly drive the company's digital transformation,” said Marianne Janik, CEO of Microsoft Germany.
“People and businesses across Europe will benefit from the development of new solutions for a sustainable, digital energy world.”
Strategic implementation partner
“Wipro is excited to support E.ON on their digital transformation journey as a strategic implementation partner using Wipro FullStride Cloud Services to transform applications to Microsoft Azure,” said Michael Seiger, Country Head and MD, Germany, Wipro Limited.
“E.ON is driving the green energy transition with innovative technologies using cloud, data and AI. Collaborations like this will help accelerate both the energy and digital transformation agenda even further.”
