Challenge
In the competitive landscape of agribusiness, Grão de Ouro has always strived for excellence. However, when it came to the need to migrate its management system (ERP) Siagri to the cloud, a number of complex challenges arose.
Migrating ERP Siagri to add it Cloud Solutions' Private Cloud seemed like a monumental task. The main challenge was to keep the operation running smoothly during the transition. In addition, there was a significant concern about the security of sensitive company data, but we managed to achieve an effective solution.
"We had a major challenge in migrating our entire physical environment to the cloud. With the services of add It Cloud Solutions, we were able to carry out the project with extreme agility and competence, without any problems for our operation." Project manager Cristiano de Moraes reports.
Solution
To meet all expectations and exceed the client's wishes with the success of this migration, we developed a meticulous strategy that prioritized availability, security and cost optimization. The transition was conducted without interruption. The private cloud brought a notable increase in the performance of ERP Siagri and the other systems that were migrated, providing performance, productivity and efficiency for all the company's operations.
In addition, the total cost of equipment was significantly reduced, as the organization no longer had to worry about maintaining physical servers. Data security reassured the IT team at Grão de Ouro, that they were handling critical information with complete confidence. The proactive approach and expert support ensured that any challenges that arose were resolved effectively, resulting in a truly solution.
