Parkar

Overview

Our client, a global professional certification body operating in over 160 countries, provides trusted programs and services that advance professional standards for millions of members worldwide. With its reputation built on reliability and integrity, the organization depends on its digital platforms to deliver exams, learning content, and member resources without disruption. However, years of operating with fragmented regional IT systems created technical debt, service inconsistency, and rising compliance risks. Frequent outages disrupted access to critical services like exam delivery and portals, eroding member confidence and placing the brand at risk. We partnered with the client to design and deploy a modern IT operations framework that unified global IT management, introduced 24×7 managed services, standardized delivery models, and laid the groundwork for future digital innovation. The transformation stabilized operations across geographies, reduced compliance risk, and enhanced the trust members place in their digital experience. Just as importantly, it positioned IT from being a cost center into a strategic enabler of growth, innovation, and retention.

About The Client

The client is one of the world’s most respected professional certification organizations, known for setting global benchmarks in its field. The institution serves a diverse member base across 160+ countries, with millions relying on its certifications, training programs, and learning services to advance their careers.

Digital platforms are central to their mission: candidates register for exams online, access learning portals, and engage with member services through digital touchpoints. With such a vast, distributed membership, system availability and security are not optional, they are mission-critical. Any service breakdown risks not only operational disruption but also reputational harm on a global scale.

Challenge

Despite its reputation and global reach, the client’s IT operations were complex, siloed, and fragile:

Regional silos: Multiple localized IT environments led to duplication, inconsistent delivery, and accumulated technical debt.
Service breakdowns: Outages frequently disrupted exam registration systems, learning portals, and member access, creating frustration and reputational risk.
Compliance risks: Fragmented governance made it difficult to enforce global standards, leaving the organization vulnerable in a regulated industry.
Global complexity: With operations spanning more than 160 countries, scaling consistent services was difficult, slow, and costly.

Leadership recognized that without change, IT would continue to be a barrier to growth. What they needed was a unified IT foundation, one resilient enough to stabilize operations, consistent enough to deliver seamless experiences globally, and scalable enough to support the digital services of tomorrow.
