development work, adding up to 200 – 300
work days per year,” said Scocco.
“Additionally, management is much easier
for the two people in IT operations who
manage the platform. They each save two or
three hours per day. In addition to improving
our delivery speed, saving our staff time
helps us reduce costs.”

Coopservice plans to continue its OpenShift
journey by expanding support and

integration of the platform. The company
is planning to create a new role for a
service manager who will use OpenShift
Container Platform to monitor key
performance indicators (KPIs) and improve
service delivery.
In addition, the company is evaluating
using OpenShift Container Platform on
Microsoft Azure to expand its use of cloud
computing. “At the moment, we just
use Azure as a resource if we need more
computing power for a special project, but
we are rapidly evolving to a hybrid cloud
architecture,” said Scocco.
Coopservice is also working with Red Hat
on developing a new digital platform
architecture. “We have about 18,000
employees across Italy who we want to help
work smarter with our company, so we’re
working with Red Hat to develop a blueprint
for a digital platform,” said Scocco.
“We have a strategic plan for the next
three to five years for IT to act as a digital
business partner, working side by side with
our business teams. Red Hat has the right
technology and the right vision to support
these efforts, which makes the company the
right partner for us.” n
