Story
Imperial Brands grew workload migration faster than the local tools around it. From the United Kingdom, consumer staples teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Migration squads were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Azure DevOps put datacenter exit planning on Microsoft Azure. Microsoft Azure is a public cloud platform for infrastructure, data, AI, and application services used by enterprises to host and modernize workloads. Imperial Brands keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so migration squads do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier datacenter exit planning. Workload migration is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join migration squads without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
