Sydney - 19 Jun 2017: IBM (NYSE: IBM ) announced
today that Acrow, one of Australia’s leading suppliers of
scaffolding and formwork for the construction industry,
has selected IBM and IT Easy, to implement a total
infrastructure refresh built around IBM Cloud, mobile,
and network technology.
Acrow is responsible for the foundations of some of
Australia’s most iconic and ambitious construction
projects, from the MCG to the Brisbane Airport Link. The
IBM Cloud will provide the levels of scale, agility, and
cost-efficiency needed to stay on top of increasingly
complex and competitive construction requirements. The
IT transformation will also deliver visible benefits to user
experience, support levels, and performance within a 2-
month timeframe.
The solution will see IBM Cloud and IT Easy rapidly
replace Acrow’s aged hosted environment with IBM
Cloud including pre-integration with VMware software
on IBM’s bare-metal servers. Acrow selected IBM Cloud
based on a combination of the platform’s superior
performance, IBM’s global partnerships with key platform
providers VMware and Oracle, and the speed and quality
of customer service provided by IT Easy in engineering
the solution.
Along with the move to IBM Cloud, IT Easy will refresh
Acrow’s mobility strategy with a new device fleet,
recontracted voice plans, and the intuitive device
management capabilities of MaaS360, IBM’s mobile
device management platform. The solution will be
supported by a range of IT Easy “as-a-service” offerings
including backup, disaster recovery, and desktop
management.
“No construction business can afford to wait years
before seeing the dividends of their technology
investment,” said Joe Cerritelli, General Manager –
Human Resources and Safety. “IT Easy and IBM’s
quality of care and expertise during the bidding and
planning phase gave us the confidence that we could
significantly reduce our IT costs and boost our
infrastructural agility in just months, quickly laying the
necessary groundwork for even greater growth Australia-
wide”. The speed and efficiency that both businesses
brought to the table proved especially refreshing for our
leadership and IT personnel alike.”
“This solution delivers not just substantial cost savings,
but also places Acrow in a strong position from which to
streamline its sales and delivery processes Australia-
wide,” said Gavin Evans, Managing Director IT Easy. “We
believe that IBM Cloud, coupled with our mobility
refresh and improved WAN-based network infrastructure,
will give Acrow the seamless connectivity and
performance that it needs to stay ahead of the
construction game as demand continues to intensify.”
IBM Cloud forms the cornerstone of Acrow’s IT
transformation, providing both raw performance and
seamless compatibility with familiar operating
environments from VMware and Oracle, IBM Cloud
infrastructure combined with unique cognitive and
analytics capabilities allows companies ranging from
startups to corporations to innovate with speed, scale
and efficiency.
“Digital transformation relies on close collaboration
between numerous technology providers and systems to
succeed, and it’s been a privilege to work with IT Easy
and our other business partners to engineer such a
comprehensive step-up for one of Australia’s most well-
respected construction companies.” said Anthone
Withers, Head of SaaS, IBM Australia and New Zealand.
