Business Value Delivered from Managed Support Services

Infoblox benefited from major cost savings, better performance with a greater payload, and faster, cost-effective and lower maintenance programs. After working with Jade Global, Infoblox was able to reduce its overall IT costs for support and development by 30%. Jade Global’s system of a single web service calling also reduced licensing costs. Within one year, Infoblox saved approximately $700k! By year two, the ongoing reduction in support improved employee productivity by 10%. The new stabilized support Jade Global provided allowed Infoblox to transform its EBS footprint, ultimately migrating its systems to the Cloud.

With the new scalable and customizable architecture, Infoblox was able to achieve its technology upgrade initiatives. For example, the company moved a retiring web application to an existing IT investment. Another one of Infoblox’s most accomplished technology initiatives was migrating all customer data from a legacy CRM system to Salesforce. Finally, Jade Global’s integration support services enabled Infoblox to reach another strategic initiative of moving from a webMethods integration server to Dell Boomi.
