EMC underwent an IT transformation to move from a legacy IT model to a more agile cloud-based model. Key aspects of the transformation included virtualizing infrastructure, transitioning to a software-defined data center, building private and hybrid clouds, and establishing an IT-as-a-service model. This allowed EMC IT to reduce costs, improve provisioning times from months to hours, and increase capabilities spent from 20% to 40%. The transformation helped align IT with business needs and establish a new consumption-based funding model.
