挑战

In 2012, Vertu became independent and separated from parent company Nokia. As a result, Vertu needed to build a brand new architecture, migrate and implement new applications and set up their own IT department. They needed to ensure they could continue manufacturing mobile phones, support existing customer devices using Nokia's software, and continue providing a superior service to their customers. To find a solution, they embarked on a 45-day discovery exercise to examine their current applications estate and determine a path to build out a new IT infrastructure that would support the vision of full visibility of their devices from cradle to grave and a have complete view of all customer interactions with the brand. They enlisted the help of WHISHWORKS Consulting to help them develop an innovative and cost-effective solution.

解决方案

Vertu, in collaboration with WHISHWORKS, identified and built the application roadmaps. First, Vertu needed a way to integrate all of their existing applications so they could have a 360 view of their customers. Second, they needed to replace the manufacturing system, product data management and engineering systems so they could operate effectively once they separated from Nokia. Finally, they needed temporary access to the legacy business systems and data at Nokia so they could continue to operate during the complex migration. One important aspect of the integration was to maintain agility as all the knowledge and requirements for integration were not fully known or fully understood at the outset. MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform was chosen as the innovation partner. MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform was successfully implemented at Vertu by October 2012 providing a sound integration framework for all the subsequent application development and migration activities.
