General Info
The client operated a traditional, on-premises IT model across multiple countries — with regional virtualization environments, physical servers, and siloed systems. Maintaining these resources was costly, complex, and difficult to scale.
When global operations shifted toward remote work, the limitations of this legacy infrastructure became clear: inconsistent access, unreliable performance, and limited visibility across regions.
Zakini led a full-scale cloud transformation initiative — decommissioning on-premises virtualization environments and migrating infrastructure and workloads to Microsoft Azure.
This transition unified systems, simplified management, and gave the enterprise a secure, scalable, and hybrid-ready foundation to support future growth.

To future-proof operations and support remote collaboration across 30+ countries, the client engaged Zakini to design and implement a secure, cloud-first strategy. The initiative replaced outdated datacenter infrastructure with Azure-based services and standardized collaboration tools for thousands of users worldwide.
02
Challenge
The client needed to:
Decommission aging virtualization infrastructure to eliminate costly maintenance and redundancy.
Migrate on-prem workloads and applications to Azure Cloud with minimal disruption.
Unify global collaboration and identity management across multiple regions.
Ensure compliance and data protection throughout the transition.
Enable remote and hybrid work for international teams.
