Hutchison Drei (Three) Austria: Enterprise Infrastructure Transparency

Establishing Enterprise Transparency, Accountability, and Operational Resilience at Scale

Executive Impact.

Enterprise infrastructure environment covering 2,500+ servers

Enterprise-wide automation strategy implemented

End-to-end patch management redesigned

Infrastructure discovery automated through BMC Discovery

Enterprise automation established using LEON by automate-it.cc

Security and vulnerability management embedded into operational processes

Hundreds of business and technology stakeholders affected

Multiple mandate extensions across more than eight years

Outcome.

More than 2,500 servers governed through automated processes

Enterprise-scale infrastructure transparency established

Patch management moved from periodic projects to continuous operations

Manual planning and coordination effort materially reduced

Compliance, security, and operational resilience strengthened

Real-time visibility into infrastructure health and vulnerabilities established

Accountability linked more closely to service ownership

Sustainable operating capability established across business and IT

Executive Summary.

A large-scale infrastructure environment relied on highly manual maintenance processes involving hundreds of participants, fragmented ownership, and limited operational transparency.

Executive leadership redesigned governance, automated critical processes, and established an operating model capable of managing patching, vulnerability exposure, and infrastructure status at scale.

The initiative changed both the technical process and the organizational understanding of ownership and operational responsibility.

Situation.

More than 2,500 enterprise servers

CMDB maintained manually and frequently outdated

Large-scale patch cycles conducted only several times per year

Hundreds of business and IT stakeholders involved

Significant coordination effort required for each cycle

Limited transparency regarding infrastructure status

Growing vulnerability exposure and operational risk

Challenge.

The technology required for automation was available. The more difficult issue was organizational.

Greater transparency made ownership, status, vulnerabilities, and decision responsibilities visible across hundreds of stakeholders. Automation therefore required changes to long-established behaviors, roles, and accountability models.

Some stakeholders initially viewed transparency as a threat because it made unresolved responsibility harder to avoid.

Leadership Contribution.

Designed the transformation strategy for infrastructure governance

Introduced automated infrastructure discovery through BMC Discovery

Implemented enterprise automation capabilities using LEON

Replaced manual patch cycles with continuous end-to-end operating processes

Introduced self-service planning for business stakeholders

Linked accountability more closely to service ownership

Built organizational support through proof-of-concept-driven engagement

Aligned infrastructure, security, operations, and executive leadership

Embedded vulnerability management into operational governance

Established executive reporting for infrastructure health and risk

Converted periodic maintenance activity into a continuously managed operating capability

Key Takeaway.

Operational resilience improves when transparency, accountability, and automation become part of the operating model.

The program created a sustained enterprise capability rather than another isolated technology process.

Automation created resilience because transparency, accountability, and operational responsibility became part of the operating model.
