Situation before Lift & Shift to OCI
The Neterwala Group is a professionally-run, family-owned business enterprise with a rich history and more than six decades of steadfast growth. The client has a diverse range of manufacturing interests in Metallurgy, Software, Engineering, Geology, Oil & Gas, and Environmental Balance.
The client sought to address the challenges of running an on-premise data center, including:
- Periodic internal IT capacity restraints
- Support of audit compliance reviews
- Operational challenges including security patches and firewall policy maintenance
- Application of firmware and OS upgrades
- Moving from a CapEx to OpEx model
We saved 50% on our Infrastructure cost by moving JD Edwards from On-Premises iSeries platform to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I truly thank AST (formerly 9EDGE) for bringing deep skills to deliver this complex project which was completed on time and under budget. A great implementation partner to work with."
