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.
