Last position:
Senior IT Project Manager at REWE Group
Datacenter audit and subsequent transformation program
- Initial situation: Following a critical outage, the datacenter was considered the cause. A traditional audit was to be put out to tender.
- My diagnosis: The technical architecture was not the core problem. The key issues were the incident, diagnosis, and recovery processes, as well as a lack of transparency regarding costs and dependencies.
- Impact: The audit was implemented pragmatically in-house. The results and budget foundations became the basis for a multi-year international transformation program. I was then retained as the preferred candidate for a central transformation stream.
