Fresh Food ChainChallenge
With the completion of the new building, the client, a domestic food manufacturing and distribution company, are planning a transition to a cloud environment that is more stable and scalable than the existing on-premise environment.
The biggest reason why the client considered switching to the cloud was that while the size of the system became larger and more complex due to the expansion of the company, there was a lot of concern about various accidents such as unexpected errors or stops of the system, loss of important business data, and personal information leakage in the existing on-premise IT environment.
The client wanted to improve their operational work by securing disaster recovery functions to increase system scalability, service availability, and introducing professional MSPs through cloud transformation.
