Making mobility more sustainable, innovative, efficient and safe

With operations in 7 countries, 2.5 million customer accounts, 300 million transactions managed per year, and 150,000 fines issued on behalf of competent bodies, the scale of what AMS does is vast. It needed the computing power to enable continuously improving smart technology and engineering solutions.

“We needed a new corporate IT platform, and as we are in the mobility business, sustainability had to be at its core,” Francisco Toro explains. Abertis Group is committed to the Agenda 2030 of the United Nations and play a part in several of the Sustainable Development Goals related to infrastructure, economic growth and health.

From the road to the cloud

“We loved that Fujitsu came to us with a purely cloud solution,” Francisco Toro continues. “Fujitsu showed us how a move to Microsoft Azure would help us get away from the old-fashioned world of the data center, with its huge footprint, power consumption and associated CO2 emissions.”

Adopting cloud computing is often stated as a critical corporate ambition but building out a high performing cloud platform is challenging and complex. Fujitsu’s expertise enabled AMS to get up and running on Azure fast and move workloads with minimal risk. AWS now has a dedicated Microsoft Azure environment for cross services. The business has also begun using Microsoft 365 as a productivity tool.
