Building a future-ready IT landscape

Aecon’s goal was clear: to create a robust, scalable, and cost-effective IT environment that would streamline operations, enhance disaster recovery readiness, and reduce overall infrastructure and maintenance costs. This project was not just about technology but about enabling Aecon to maintain its leadership in the infrastructure sector while ensuring superior client satisfaction through operational efficiency.

Overcoming complexity with precision

Aecon’s existing IT systems presented significant hurdles. The migration required the seamless transfer of SAP and non-SAP workloads, the automation of infrastructure provisioning, and upgrades to outdated systems to mitigate operational risks. Adding to the complexity was the need to establish secure, scalable authentication through AWS Directory Service and SSO.

The deployment of the AWS Landing Zone Accelerator allowed Aecon to adopt cloud-native solutions seamlessly, ensuring scalability and long-term viability. Each phase of the migration was executed with precision, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption to operations.

Virtusa approached these challenges with ingenuity and determination.

By leveraging its accelerators and collaborating closely with Aecon’s teams, Virtusa designed a comprehensive migration roadmap that addressed each challenge head-on.
