Client Overview
GTPL Hathway Ltd. is one of India’s largest Multi-System Operators (MSO) and Broadband Service Providers, serving millions of subscribers across a vast geographic region. With a rapidly expanding customer base and growing IT infrastructure needs, GTPL recognized the urgent requirement to evolve from their legacy on-premise systems to a more agile and scalable cloud environment.
Their existing IT infrastructure, while functional, began to strain under increased operational demand, creating bottlenecks and hindering service efficiency.
⚠️ Key Business Challenges
GTPL faced a range of challenges with their traditional, on-premise setup:
📉 Limited Scalability & Redundancy
Infrastructure lacked the flexibility to scale quickly with growing demand.📬 Inefficient Email Management
Legacy email systems offered limited archiving, poor spam filtering, and were hard to maintain.🕒 Slow Provisioning
IT resource deployment was time-consuming and required manual configuration.🔒 Security & Compliance Gaps
Legacy firewalls and antivirus solutions were no longer adequate for emerging threats and compliance frameworks.⚠️ High Downtime Risk During Migration
Any major shift, especially involving core systems and email, carried the risk of operational disruption.
