Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced that Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC), one of Canada’s leading lottery organizations, has selected HPE GreenLake to drive its digital modernization efforts, create standardization, save costs and improve performance to front line staff applications.
WCLC manages and operates lottery and gaming-related activities on behalf of the governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.
According to HPE, the lottery was working with dated IT infrastructure and a lean team to address the needs of the business. To become more agile, reduce capital IT costs and redeploy IT staff to critical initiatives, WCLC chose HPE GreenLake to modernize its corporate IT needs – from running day-to-day business, to managing HR resources, finance teams, and customer information.
With HPE GreenLake, WCLC was also able to simplify procurement processes; reducing the time, complexity and resourcing involved.
“HPE GreenLake’s operational model was a real differentiator for us,” said Nicholas Douville, Director of Infrastructure and Operations of WCLC. “The ability to pay only for what we use, and to be flexible and add computing needs quickly for future changes to – and introductions of – applications is critical to Western Canada Lottery Corporation’s success. HPE GreenLake helps us create consistency and standardization for our infrastructure and helps streamline our budgets for it.”
Keith White, SVP and General Manager of HPE GreenLake, stated: “We are very excited to be partnering with Western Canada Lottery Corporation to help accelerate the modernization and transformation of its infrastructure.
“Western Canada Lottery Corporation is a perfect example of how companies are increasingly wanting to manage their data on the platform of their choice, bringing the cloud experience to where it’s needed, all within an as-a-service model.”
