Evolving markets and a volatile global landscape continue to change the way clients view and subscribe to asset management. As one of India’s leading asset management companies, UTI needed to modernize and migrate their legacy, on-premises infrastructure to a secure, managed hybrid cloud environment.
The modernized infrastructure gives the company greater agility, faster time to market and higher availability and security through cost-effective deployment and operating models. It also enables on-demand scaling, reducing capex and costly infrastructure upgrades, leveraging a flexible pay-per-use model.
Laying the foundations for the future of IT
In an increasingly competitive business landscape, UTI AMC needed to create new and innovative financial products while continuing to deliver best-in-class services to their customers. The need to revamp their legacy infrastructure became a business imperative, as their innovation-led growth strategy relied on the capabilities a modern environment would provide.
Another significant concern was the management and security of the future, modernized IT landscape. They needed a partner who could provide a high-quality, transparent and flexible managed services model, providing visibility, governance and operational efficiency.
To ensure that this would drive increased efficiency, managing costs was key. The asset management market is extremely competitive and UTI AMC needed to ensure that pivoting to an innovation-led growth strategy, delivered through modernized IT infrastructure, could be done while optimizing operational costs. UTI AMC needed a predictable, cost-effective solution that would reduce capex and significantly improve system performance.

As part of our continued growth, we needed to digitally transform our IT landscape to meet our customer needs in a dynamically evolving market. After thorough evaluations, we realized that NTT DATA was the perfect partner for us to deliver these outcomes.
”Leveraging a history of delivery
UTI AMC partnered with us to take advantage of our expertise in managing complex and business-critical multicloud environments, delivering similar solutions to India’s largest organizations, and our expertise in cloud transformation, large data center migrations and agile platform-delivered managed services. Equally critical was the ability to demonstrate tangible cost optimization while enhancing the visibility, governance and performance of their IT estate.
Improved infrastructure agility through cloud transformation
Working together, they deployed a managed multicloud environment to drive enhanced productivity. Their business-critical, customer-facing applications are hosted on Amazon Web Services, with our team providing management capabilities.
At the same time, they reduced the cost and complexity of conventional disaster-recovery practices through our VMware-based public-cloud platform, SimpliCloud. This gave them the high-performance solution they required, with greater resiliency and agility as well as significant cost efficiencies from reduced upfront costs and capex.
Transforming the legacy landscape through a secure data center, multicloud and managed services
At the same time as they moved key applications to the cloud, they opted to use our Mumbai 5 Data Center to colocate their legacy infrastructure, giving them proximity to multiple cloud services. This enabled them to migrate their legacy infrastructure and applications quickly and efficiently to the cloud.
Protecting against an evolving threat landscape through our platform-delivered security services
They also chose to use our endpoint security suite across their infrastructure-as-a-service landscape, covering network, security, server, compute, storage, operating system and database environments. Delivered through our global security platforms, our High Security Module services provide an additional layer of protection, while their multilayered security architecture helps them manage and mitigate an evolving threat landscape.
Seamless services integration across the enterprise
We delivered an enterprise-grade service management platform that now forms the core for IT services across the entire client organization. This optimizes the tracking of issues and tickets across the different teams, resulting in greatly improved resolution rates, complementing the visibility and insight provided by the service management platform.
