Customer

The customer offers an ERP system specialized for the construction industry, which supports accounting, project management, and extended field teams for nearly 8000+ global customers in the construction industry.

Business Challenge

The customer hosted instances of its ERP suite to a subset of its customers. The customer was leveraging a third-party colocation datacenter provider to host these instances.

The aging infrastructure and lack of proper support at the colocation datacenters were impacting and disrupting end-consumers business, revenue, and growth.

The customer was looking to modernize their infrastructure through lift-and-shift of their current hosted product instances to a more reliable cloud platform.

The overall volume of the data and how the customer can do the migration without impacting end – consumers business was the biggest challenge. The data that had to be migrated:

  • 812 ~ end consumers
  • 650 ~Tbs of data volume
  • 1800 ~ virtual machines

WinWire Solution

WinWire’s worked with the customer by implementing Migration-as-a-Service methodology to support them in strategizing/ architecting/ executing the lift-and-shift (as-is) to the Azure platform.

WinWire supported to the customer to:

  • Analyze source hosting platform to understand interdependencies using WinCAM – Cloud Assessment Methodology
  • Created the overall roadmap and approach for the migration. The intent is to achieve near-zero impact/disruption to the end-consumers.
  • Implemented the landing zone in Azure, architected the destination (Azure) using WinCFS – Cloud Foundation Setup
  • Used factory-model migration to Azure with minimal business impact to the end-consumer
  • Analyzed the usage pattern of migrated workload on Azure, and optimized the resources and cost, using WinCCO – Cloud Cost Optimization

Business Value

  • Elevated business efficiency and performance
  • Improved customer satisfaction
  • Better platform and support to the customer with no impact to end-consumers business
