Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

As part of its modernization and transition to 'Net Zero', the energy giant executed a massive migration, closing its mega-data centers and moving 90% of workloads to Azure. This eliminated physical infrastructure overhead and enabled the rapid deployment of AI tools for carbon tracking and wind farm optimization.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"A definitive 'all-in' cloud strategy. Closing the Canary Wharf data center was a symbolic and operational milestone. It reduced the company's own carbon footprint (IT energy usage) and shifted spend from maintaining legacy servers to developing new energy transition capabilities."

Maintaining massive private data centers was costly, inflexible, and energy-inefficient. The legacy infrastructure slowed down the deployment of new digital tools needed to pivot the business from oil/gas to renewables.

psychology The Solution

The company migrated thousands of applications to Azure. They utilized Azure's carbon-aware computing tools. The move facilitated the creation of a 'digital twin' of their energy production systems to optimize for lower emissions.
