59. Azure Infrastructure:
“Azure has enabled us to harmonise
our IT solutions across the company to
a common, unified platform providing a
consistent delivery across the business
units.”
• “build new” for the core platform
• migration of existing services to honour
the legacy applications already in use.
• Refactoring of services to PaaS
Modern Workplace:
“We have a better user experience,
productivity and faster response times by
bringing the apps closer to desktops with
our new centralized Citrix cloud on
Azure.”
Focused on the user needs to evolve the
workplace along with core services to reduce
latency and increase productivity for 800 users.
Centralized login, look and feel with shared
data access.

“We had such great feedback from the UK
team on the service that Six Degrees was
providing… it was clear that this was a solution
that should be implemented across Europe –
they were the technology partner we needed
and wanted.”
A trusted partner helping customer realize
incremental benefits. Continuous cost
management dashboard as part of
standard support to optimize spending.
Customer:

Gas Petroleum (LPG) and energy solutions across the UK
