adesso SE and Hitachi Digital Services are expanding their collaboration to support companies in asset-heavy industries such as energy with reliable, scalable, and compliant application operations. The enhanced partnership combines adesso’s comprehensive cloud transformation and integration expertise with Hitachi Application Reliability Centers (HARC) to deliver digital solutions both locally and globally.
Global Operations Centers for Maximum Application Availability
HARC is Hitachi’s global, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)-based framework for optimizing the performance, cost, and availability of business-critical applications in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. HARC operates 24/7 from global hubs in Hyderabad (India) and Dallas (USA). It combines continuous monitoring, automation, and AI-powered surveillance to ensure that mission-critical workloads remain secure, scalable, and consistently perform at their peak. HARC delivers measurable results, including significant cost reductions in cloud operations and improved operational availability. Governance and compliance requirements are firmly embedded at every level of application management.
“This expansion is built on years of trust and collaborative implementation,” says Santhosh Sreemushta, President & Chief Business Officer at Hitachi Digital Services. “By combining adesso’s deep cloud and IT transformation expertise with HARC’s proven operational reliability, we deliver tailored solutions for the critical needs of asset-intensive industries – with minimal disruption and maximum performance.”
Architecture Meets Operations: Expanding the International Delivery Model
adesso brings its strengths in IT strategy, migration, sovereign cloud operations, AI DevOps, and cloud-native application development to the partnership. This ensures that applications running on HARC are designed for scalability, compliance, and performance from the outset. The joint approach also supports advanced solutions such as digital twins, predictive maintenance, and integrated IT/OT control centers.
“Many of our customers operate in highly demanding environments where resilience and innovation must go hand in hand,” says Mark Lohweber, CEO of adesso SE. “By deepening our collaboration with Hitachi, we are strengthening our international delivery model and combining architectural expertise with a global operational framework. This opens up a secure path to modernizing critical systems—from the initial migration to 24/7 operation. While HARC ensures reliable operations, adesso delivers the architecture. Together, we are redefining what IT transformation means for asset-intensive companies.”
The two companies will initially launch joint pilot programs in the energy and utilities sector. These initiatives will be supported by the HARC Labs in Hyderabad and Dallas, which will serve as centers of excellence for validating industry-specific reliability models, testing cloud-native control room concepts, and demonstrating measurable impacts before solutions are rolled out live.
