Supply Chain and eCommerce Business Improves Security and Reduces Costs with Azure

The Challenge

A global eCommerce company wanted to move to the cloud to meet the forever changing demands of their customers and enhance security.

A leading end-to-end global eCommerce and supply chain organization was looking for enhanced security and lower overall costs as the primary drivers to moving from an on-prem solution to Azure. Their goals included exiting their on-prem data center with minimal interruption, providing a functional basis for internal financial applications and educating their internal teams to manage infrastructure.

3Cloud worked with the client to successfully migrate to Azure

Built a robust cloud security platform on a strong foundation with an Azure Landing Zone
Migrated to Azure with an infrastructure build which included servers, storage, networking, BI, databases and more
Provided training alongside a 90-day Managed Service contract allowing the client to maintain and deploy solutions in-house

The 3Cloud team created a strong Azure foundation in order to exit the client’s on-prem data center with minimal interruption. The Azure Landing Zone we built provided the foundation for a seamless migration and deployment of workloads. In less than three months, we deployed 300 servers. The new updated, lean, streamlined systems enabled cost efficiency and improved the client’s critical security infrastructure. Our Managed Services support combined with education for the client’s team allowed them to eventually maintain and deploy solutions in-house.

The Results

The Azure solution we provided met the client’s key drivers for moving to the cloud from on-prem. This global eCommerce company was looking for enhanced security and the custom, comprehensive infrastructure we built, along with a total migration to Azure, gave them the critical security infrastructure they needed.

Another challenge was leaving the on-prem data center with minimal interruption – our team met this challenge and deployed 300 servers in less than 3 months. Most importantly, by moving to Azure, the business saw a 30% cost reduction. In addition, our Managed Service contract gave their team the knowledge and ability to maintain the secure environment in-house and to deploy new applications when needed.
