Iberdrola and DXC Unveil Successful Completion of Major IT Modernization Project

Successful Modernization of Iberdrola's IT Systems with DXC

In a groundbreaking endeavor, Iberdrola, the prominent global energy leader headquartered in Bilbao, Spain, has partnered with DXC Technology, a Fortune 500 IT services provider. This collaboration has culminated in the successful execution of a multi-year project aimed at modernizing critical systems within Iberdrola's operational framework. This initiative is recognized as one of the most extensive and complex IT modernization projects undertaken in the Spanish energy sector.

The heart of this transformation involved migrating an astounding 180 terabytes of data and over 30 million lines of code from outdated mainframe systems to the Azure cloud environment. The benefits of this migration are substantial, as it not only increased automation but also led to a more responsive customer service model. Additionally, the project significantly reduced operational costs while providing new opportunities for integrating artificial intelligence technologies.

According to Sergio Merchán, Iberdrola's Global CIO, “The modernization of our core systems marks a pivotal milestone in Iberdrola’s digital strategy. It prepares us to confront emerging business challenges, allows us to maintain our global leadership, and enables rapid adaptation to significant changes in the energy sector.” He further emphasized that the collaboration with DXC has equipped them with a modern, efficient, and scalable technology platform that can evolve in tandem with upcoming industry demands.

A Platform for Growth and Innovation

Led by DXC, the transformation of Iberdrola has employed advanced automation technologies. This approach not only facilitated ongoing updates and enhancements to their applications but also ensured that daily operations were uninterrupted. The cloud-based platform has improved process efficiencies and allows Iberdrola to effortlessly replicate its successful model in other countries while adhering to local regulations—an essential capability in the highly regulated energy sector.

Alfonso García Muriel, President of DXC Technology Spain and Portugal, stated, “For Iberdrola, we have successfully modernized the company’s technology to foster innovation while ensuring smooth business continuity. Our goal was to transform technology into a growth engine for Iberdrola, empowering them to be more agile, efficient, and future-ready.” He highlighted the importance of their customer-centric approach, industry expertise, and strong collaboration with Iberdrola in achieving this goal.

The modernization initiative also underscores Iberdrola’s commitment to innovation and environmental sustainability. By reducing energy consumption and optimizing resource use, this project aligns with critical pillars of the global energy transition. DXC’s comprehensive IT engineering skills, industry experience, and proven execution track record are pivotal in supporting global enterprises to modernize core systems and infrastructure for leadership in an AI-driven world.
