A marine transportation company leverages our expertise to upgrade and optimize its Infor software.
SITUATION
The IT portion of a family-owned marine transportation company was looking at proactively moving its mission-critical enterprise business technology to the cloud. With the bulk of their employees working from remote locations, cloud-based technology would alleviate application maintenance and provide employees with anywhere, anytime access to the software, enabling workers to perform their jobs from ship to shore. The client’s systems were outdated and slated to be retired, so they were facing a decision between shifting platforms and changing providers.
"The team was always on time, had a vast pool of resources and was able to address any of our questions or needs, whether it related to security or patch application." - Applications Administrative Manager
We partnered with the client to help them develop an Infor technology roadmap and identify the best solution for their needs. Moving to the cloud sooner rather than later would deliver greater value in the future and enable our client to easily take advantage of additional software upgrades as they were made available. They made the decision to upgrade to the cloud but keep their on-premise Infor system. We streamlined the implementation methodology for rapid software installation and provided knowledge transfer and training to ensure our client derived the maximum value possible from their technology investments.
RESULTS
The results of our partnership included reduced costs, greater uptime, and access to technology; all key benefits of moving to the Infor cloud. Our client now has around-the-clock access to their software, and workers can catch up on work anytime, anywhere. Additionally, our team executed the migration remotely, eliminating time and travel expenses while reducing the overall cost of the project and broadening access to highly skilled talent. These factors enabled us to deliver the product on time and under budget.
