Deconstruct the Win
Based in Australia, BHP Billiton is a large natural resources mining company that has several global operations. They are making a $2.6 billion investment to set up a greenfield organization in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, in order to extract potash. However, Saskatoon is a mid-sized city with a population of 250,000, and BHP Billiton faced the challenge of needing to grow their office quickly within a limited resource pool. They wanted an ITaaS model for their business unit, with the flexibility to grow and provision environments as new apps come online. They had two key business issues: the need to transition from infrastructure hosted by the Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) to their own infrastructure, and the need for transformation, or a long-term roadmap and plan for delivering IT as a service (ITaaS).
