Customer: AGROTRADE Group
Industry: Agriculture
Solution:
- Migration to Microsoft Azure IaaS and
- Microsoft Office 365
In 2016, after conducting a thorough analysis of its IT infrastructure, AGROTRADE decided to migrate its entire ERP system and mailing system to the cloud. The company’s IT department ultimately chose to use Microsoft Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Microsoft Office 365 to this end.
Since AGROTRADE was facing increasing hardware costs for its physical servers, the company chose Azure as its central hosting platform to cut costs for hardware and complex administration. The company was also interested in a single, central communication platform that would integrate all required services and improve collaboration and security. For those reasons, MS Office 365 was the preferred solution.
Finally, AGROTRADE chose SoftwareONE Ukraine as a supplier and partner based on its expert knowledge of Office 365 solutions.
SoftwareONE migrated AGROTRADE’s mail system, encompassing 500 mailboxes, to MS Exchange Online, seamlessly and on schedule. Microsoft Office 365 provides a variety of features; SoftwareONE deployed Skype for Business, SharePoint Online and OneDrive to help simplify and consolidate AGROTRADE’s current technology into a single platform.Although the implementation process posed a few challenges, SoftwareONE successfully completed this part of the project in time.
Moving forward, SoftwareONE migrated the ERP system to Azure so that AGROTRADE could streamline and more easily manage its business processes in the cloud, thereby enjoying a more flexible, scalable, and secure environment. SoftwareONE also trained AGROTRADE‘s IT staff and end users in Office 365 applications.
