Optimizing Software Systems and Hardware to Improve Company’s Efficiency

Our client is a leading provider of human resources and workforce solutions, offering innovative services to help businesses optimize their workforce management. With a focus on flexibility and tailored solutions, the Client assists companies in navigating the complexities of HR, payroll, benefits administration, and strategic workforce planning. Their commitment to client success is underscored by a customer-centric approach and a dedication to delivering comprehensive, customizable solutions for businesses of all sizes. One way to keep the success going up and the steady service it offers is by constantly upgrading the already existing offers, and adding a new one as the time and technology requires. But basing the success and functioning solely on upgrading and adding offers without any investment in the internal software and hardware is not enough.

Being aware of the points that might hinder the performance, and the overall business, the client decided to improve its software and hardware as it was outdated and inefficient, which as a result reflected the company’s efficiency. What they needed was a new solution to manage data on existing multiple SQL Servers without losing any functionality and minimum downtime. The solution should allow the Client’s IT team to monitor the performance easily, maintain the databases, be able to easily scale, and ensure proper and timely backup.

Solution

The solution included a thorough analysis of the Client’s business and database environments, which was followed by combining unique technological combinations like migrate and upgrade to Azure SQL virtual machines or group servers in Azure Elastic pool, in a careful manner to prevent downtime period and preserve all existing functionalities and third-party systems.

Business Outcomes

By implementing the solution, the performance and pricing was immediately improved. Additionally, the introduction of new security policies provided another layer of data protection, which made the business compliant with many policies and made the security system more reliable and robust. Key results include:

  • Increased efficiency and productivity by 45%
  • Improved performance by 30%
  • Accelerated database recovery
  • Scalable data solution
  • Decreasing monthly pay-as-you-go price by 30%
