To accelerate digital transformation, Migros makes strategic use of state-of-the-art technology. Targeted investments in innovative technology solutions are making Cooperative Retailing fit for the future and creating the basis for sustainable growth.
A central pillar of the transformation is the consolidation of the IT landscape.
Digitalisation has become a key driver across all business units of the Migros Community. In order to be optimally prepared for the future, the companies are working together to modernise their digital core, make greater use of synergies and simplify the IT architecture, which has grown more complex over time. By doing so, they are paving the way for future success.
A central pillar of the transformation is the consolidation of the IT landscape. By decommissioning 350 applications and identifying a further 275 applications with consolidation potential, Migros simplified its IT structures significantly in 2024. The systematic removal of redundant systems plays a key role in sustainably reducing IT costs and increasing the efficient use of technology. By streamlining the system landscape, Migros can react more flexibly to business requirements and increase its long-term competitiveness.
A further focus is on modernising the network connections of 2’000 locations with state-of-the-art SD-WAN technology. Modernising the telephony infrastructure also plays an important role in Migros’ digital transformation. The upgrades will improve the communication infrastructure, increase efficiency and significantly reduce maintenance costs. At the same time, standardisation enables seamless communication between the different Migros Group companies.
