Iberdrola and DXC Successfully Complete Major Technology Modernization Project

DXC helps Iberdrola migrate core business systems to the cloud in one of Spanish energy sector’s largest IT transformation projects

Iberdrola, a global energy leader headquartered in Bilbao, Spain, has partnered with DXC, a leading Fortune 500 global IT services provider, to successfully complete a multi-year project to modernize its most critical systems.

By working with DXC to migrate its core business systems to the cloud, Iberdrola has transformed its operations to thrive in an increasingly dynamic energy market, where agility, efficiency, and innovation are essential to sustaining its leadership.

The project was one of the largest and most complex IT modernization projects ever in the Spanish energy sector and involved moving 180 terabytes of data and over 30 million lines of code from a legacy mainframe environment to the Azure cloud.

The transformation has enabled greater automation, more responsive customer service, while reducing costs, and providing opportunities to integrate AI technologies and services.

“The modernization of our core systems has been a crucial milestone in Iberdrola’s digitalization strategy. It allows us to face new business challenges, maintain our global leadership, and quickly adapt to major changes ahead,” said Sergio Merchán, Global CIO of Iberdrola. “Thanks to DXC, we now have a more modern, efficient, and scalable technology platform ready to evolve with us.”
