Seamless Hybrid Cloud Managed Services Transformation

How Advent One empowered an Australian leading manufacturer after its’ major divestment.

One of Australia’s leading manufacturing providers has always been committed to delivering high-quality products and services to businesses of all sizes. As the company continued to expand and evolve, its complex operations, involving a 24/7 supply chain, became increasingly reliant on a robust IT infrastructure. When the parent company sold their division, however, they found themselves with a significant problem. With a legacy system and the need for seamless migration during this divestment, they faced a critical decision regarding their IT needs.

The decision to engage an infrastructure specialist largely stemmed from the need to migrate to a hosted IBM i Platform as a Service (PaaS). The organisation faced continuous outages and lacked internal support for the IBM i platform which was critical for their CRM. 

Previously, the organisation was part of a larger entity with internal IT capabilities. However, after the divestment, they had to manage all IT aspects independently, from end-user computing to network setup. The migration encompassed numerous applications and hardware, along with a shift from SAP to NetSuite. With a limited IT team, ultimately, the organisation found they were struggling to navigate the interoperability between legacy systems and new applications and required a partner like Advent One to navigate this transition seamlessly.
