Wouldn’t it be great if every organization could save costs and innovate at the same time? At Emovis, part of Abertis Mobility Services (AMS), we are turning this ideal into a reality through our collaboration with Fujitsu Cloud Service for Microsoft Azure.

 

Addressing Important Challenges

We needed to update our core IT platform to support operations across seven countries, managing 2.5 million customer accounts and approximately 300 million transactions per year.

Innovation is at the heart of our work: we combine engineering and technology expertise to digitally transform toll barriers and payment methods, ensuring a smoother driving experience for road users. We required a solution that would enable a more connected, intelligent, and transformed business environment.

We are also committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals related to infrastructure, economic growth, and health. The transport link is especially significant, and sustainability is embedded within our business model.

“We love applying cutting-edge technology platforms and operational services so driving becomes smoother and more sustainable,” explains our Head of IT, Francisco Toro. “Our major aim has been enabling free-flow toll activities, implementing the right technological ecosystem for urban and interurban traffic management, and facilitating Low Emission Zones through infrastructure charging.”

To address these and other challenges, we decided to collaborate with Fujitsu’s Cloud Service for Microsoft Azure to support a seamless cloud journey, enabling flexibility, agility, and innovation.

 

Impact

Adopting cloud computing is often seen as a critical corporate ambition, but building a high-performing cloud platform is challenging and complex. Fujitsu’s expertise allowed us to get up and running on Azure quickly, moving workloads with minimal risk. We now have a dedicated Microsoft Azure environment for cross services, and we have also started using Microsoft 365 as a productivity tool.

“We loved that Fujitsu came to us with a purely cloud solution,” Toro stated. “Fujitsu showed us how a move to Microsoft Azure would help us move away from the old-fashioned world of the data center, with its huge footprint, power consumption, and associated CO2 emissions.”

 

Key Results and Benefits

The solution, officially implemented and operational since January 2025, has already yielded impressive results. Sustainability has been significantly impacted, with the cloud migration enabling a reduction of over 80% in CO2 emissions, according to information from Microsoft.

In terms of cost savings, while the new infrastructure is still being evaluated, general estimates for cloud migrations indicate savings typically around 60%. We expect these savings to increase as the system scales.

The solution is also enabling faster innovation within Emovis. Thanks to Azure cloud technologies, our employees can now access services much faster and more efficiently compared to the previous on-premise setup. This accelerates the pace of innovation and problem-solving across our organization.

The deployment has also provided significant operational advantages. We’ve experienced faster deployment of corporate IT services, immediate infrastructure adjustments, and the ability to scale globally in a short period of time, strengthening our ability to innovate and meet the growing demands of the mobility sector.
