Ericsson and HCLTech: Powering cloud transformation at speed and scale
summary
Ericsson and HCLTech move more than 90% of enterprise workloads to AWS in about two years, targeting 80% originally and prioritizing speed over full infrastructure optimization. A factory migration breaks work into ~50–60 move groups with one high‑risk SAP move—migrated a single 180‑country SAP instance over one weekend—planned for six months and executed with 300 people coordinated across time zones. Commercial contracts let HCLTech and AWS bet on efficiency gains, and post‑migration delivers cloud‑native platforms, CI/CD pipelines and a generative‑AI coding buddy built in weeks.
