Business Situation
ABN AMRO is an enterprising, multi-national bank based in the Netherlands, serving clients in the retail, private and corporate banking sectors.
Having recently completed its Microsoft 365 platform migration, ABN AMRO wanted to make sure it was making the most of its investment and empowering its employees with all of the latest digital workplace tools and features. The bank recognized that to do this, it needed a clear, continuous view of what's new or what updates to embrace on the Microsoft 365 platform – an effort that could become a burden on its resources. ABN AMRO turned to Avanade to help provide end-to-end support with expert configuration and intelligent monitoring.
“We are very satisfied with the cooperation over the past year and a half. We are looking forward to a new period in which we say goodbye to the traditional outsourcing of IT support and will work towards a true DevOps partnership for our Microsoft 365 products and services.”
