Home Customer success Digital transformation for international expansion
Frank Recruitment Group is an award-winning, multi-brand specialist global recruitment firm with over 1000 employees.
Frank Recruitment Group was experiencing rapid YoY growth on a global scale whilst still operating with an internal data centre, shared storage and an ageing on-premise infrastructure. As a result the company’s IT department was finding it increasingly difficult to scale.
Focusing on growing its business while enabling employees’ success and motivation through “exceptional office facilities, top-level training, fast-track career progression, and ongoing professional development” is a major strategy for Frank Recruitment.
Global CIO Mark Hill knew that the organisation’s current systems and environment needed updating to improve agility and create a flexible working environment across all offices. Inevitably that meant aligning the business to a Digital First strategy moving away from on-premise technology and migrating to the cloud.
Having decided on Microsoft Azure as its cloud platform of choice, Frank Recruitment’s initial requirement was to find a suitable partner to support them with the migration. In Acora they found a partner who could not only design and build the technology solution and migrate them to Azure, but could provide ongoing support of their cloud environment, freeing up time for the internal IT team to focus on more strategic initiatives.
The Frank IT team soon recognised that Acora had strong experience at moving legacy systems and workloads from a traditional platform in to Azure leveraging IaaS and PaaS and at the same time take into consideration compliance, governance and legal requirements for archiving and securing data.
Acora set out with the main objective to transform the company’s datacentre environment
The first step was to engage Acora’s cloud architects to define a global service design for the new Azure platform. The service design engagement output was a comprehensive design document, developed from information collated during service design workshops and knowledge gathering meetings. Acora worked with Frank Recruitment’s internalstakeholders to finalise the Azure design and migration approach ready to execute the transition project.
Following the sign-off of the target Azure architecture, Acora’s Project Management team started planning and initiating the Azure Migration project involving Frank’s offices across Europe, US and Australia. The project took 6 months to complete and was delivered within the time and budget parameters set by Frank Recruitment.
Acora now provide ongoing 24/7 management and support of Frank Recruitment’s Azure environment. A dedicated support team looks after Frank Recruitment’s systems, services and applications, making sure they are constantly monitored and protected and are available to support the growing needs of the organisation.
Through Acora we found a partner who could not only design and build our cloud platform in Azure, but also provide ongoing support of our environment. We now have a fully scalable, modern IT platform which enables us to focus on achieving further international expansion.Mark Hill, Global CIO, Frank Recruitment Group
