Transformation at Scale

After a spreadsheet-driven laptop refresh for 12,000 staff took nearly two years, a global financial markets infrastructure provider brought in ManagementStudio for its next VDI migration of 8,000 devices. Three years on, it runs every major IT programme the business delivers: nearly 20,000 users across active projects and 108,937 applications tracked in a single, auditable source of truth.

Enterprise-wide Transformation

One of the world’s leading asset managers turned to ManagementStudio to power its enterprise-wide IT transformation – from a 26,000-user Windows 11 migration to device lifecycle management, M&A onboarding, and licence rationalisation. The result: $3.4M+ in cost savings, unified Power BI reporting, and a single platform replacing spreadsheets across every workstream.

Automating compliance processes

Regulated financial institutions face a non-negotiable obligation: ensuring privileged access rights are held only by those with verified business need. Yet quarterly recertification often remains a manual, multi-week slog. See how ManagementStudio transformed this into a structured, largely automated workflow — delivering time savings and lasting compliance confidence.

Divestment on Deadline

When Hitachi Energy separated from ABB in one of the industry’s largest IT carve-outs, ManagementStudio powered the migration of 33,000 users across 70 countries against a hard TSA deadline – avoiding contractual penalties and keeping the divestment on schedule. The same platform was then reused to upgrade 40,000+ devices to Windows 11, proving its value stretched well beyond the initial carve-out.
