The Carphone Warehouse is Europe's leading independent retailer of mobile phones and services, with over 2,400 stores in 9 countries. Carphone Warehouse was faced with a big challenge - executing on a global vision to create an internal 'ERP for IT'. One critical component was determining an accurate baseline of their entire IT estate. With prior acquisitions and limited centralized control, Carphone Warehouse had limited configuration inventory. A manual audit was out of the question due to time, expense and inadequate data.
Join Steve Phelan, Enterprise Architect for The Carphone Warehouse and Kelly Wenzel, Chief Marketing Officer for Tideway in this case study podcast to hear how Tideway provided Carphone Warehouse with an automated, accurate inventory of their estate that gave them the actionable intelligence needed to drive key IT initiatives like compliance, consolidation, license optimization, standardization and virtualization.
