Virtusa Digital Transformation Initiatives

About the Customer

Virtusa Corporation is a global business consulting and IT outsourcing company that combines innovation, technology leadership and industry solutions to transform the customer experience 

Scope and Challenges

“We wanted to make it easier for our employees to find the documents and people they needed whether they were at home, at a client’s office, or on a business trip. We also wanted to reduce our IT footprint so that our IT staff could spend more time providing additional value to the business instead of running server farms.”-said Shehan Warusavithana: Vice President of Technology at Virtusa. 

Outcome and Implications

Virtusa worked closely with Microsoft Services Consulting to establish hybrid inbound and outbound search capabilities. Employees have single sign-on access to SharePoint Online through their Active Directory credentials, and user permission roles dictate which documents are available to whom. The company also extended its search capabilities so that employees can find personal and project-related documents stored in Microsoft OneDrive for Business.

Quotes

We expect a huge improvement in collaboration and partnership with clients to result from the increased transparency of project information. "-said Shehan Warusavithana: Vice President of Technology at Virtusa.
