Introduction:
Our client is an F&B chain in Singapore that had been using on-premise servers to host their business applications, including SAP and Quickbooks, for the past six years. However, as the company has grown and technology has evolved, it became apparent that its current setup was no longer meeting its needs. Access to the applications was slow, and outdated hardware was becoming a hindrance to productivity.
To address these issues, NEXT3LABS was hired to help the F&B chain migrate their SAP and Quickbooks applications to a cloud server and enable remote access via Remote Desktop Services. The goal of the project was to improve the speed and efficiency of accessing the applications, as well as to future-proof the company’s technology infrastructure.
Background:
The F&B chain is a company with over 300 employees located in Singapore. They have been in business for over 20 years and operate in more than 40 locations. Prior to the digital transformation migration project, the company was using on-premise servers to host their SAP and Quickbooks applications. While this setup had served them well in the past, the hardware was becoming outdated and was unable to keep up with the growing demands of the business.
Challenges:
Before the migration, the F&B chain faced several challenges with their technology infrastructure. The most significant issue was the slow access to the SAP and Quickbooks applications. This was due to the outdated hardware and lack of sufficient bandwidth to support remote access. Additionally, the on-premise servers were becoming increasingly difficult to maintain and required frequent updates and repairs.
Solution:
To address these challenges, [Your Company Name] proposed a digital transformation migration project that would move the SAP and Quickbooks applications to a cloud server and enable remote access via Remote Desktop Services. The cloud server would provide the necessary bandwidth and processing power to support the applications, and the Remote Desktop Services would allow users to access the applications from any location with an internet connection.
To begin the migration process, [Your Company Name] worked closely with the F&B chain to assess their current technology infrastructure and determine the best approach for the project. This included evaluating the hardware and software requirements for the cloud server and determining the necessary steps for migrating the data from the on-premise servers to the cloud.
Once the plan was in place, [Your Company Name] worked with the F&B chain to implement the migration. This included transferring the data from the on-premise servers to the cloud server, configuring the Remote Desktop Services, and providing training to the company’s employees on how to access and use the applications from the cloud.
Results:
The digital transformation migration project was a success, resulting in several benefits for the F&B chain. The most significant improvement was the increase in speed and efficiency of accessing the SAP and Quickbooks applications. With the cloud server providing the necessary bandwidth and processing power, users are now able to access the applications quickly and without any delays.
In addition to the improved access, the migration to the cloud server has also helped to future-proof the F&B chain’s technology infrastructure. The cloud server is able to scale with the needs of the business, and the Remote Desktop Services provide flexibility for employees to access the applications from any location.
Conclusion:
The digital transformation migration project has proven to be a valuable investment for the F&B chain, helping to improve the speed. This is also the first step in the whole digital transformation journey that NEXT3LABS will be implementing for this client.
