Techgyan, a globally acclaimed Cloud Services Provider with three world-wide awards, undertook the mission to revolutionize the IT infrastructure of a traditional mid-sized engineering firm. The firm, operating across multiple locations, faced numerous challenges with its on-premises systems including an Exchange Server, SAP, Tally, File Server, AD Server, Anti-Virus Server, and Firewall. Persistent hardware malfunctions, internet reliability issues, scalability constraints, application downtimes, and (BCDR) Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery concerns were prevalent.
The Challenge
The engineering firm’s scattered locations and outdated on-premises infrastructure resulted in frequent hardware failures and significant application downtimes. Internet reliability and scalability were constant hurdles, and their existing Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery strategies were insufficient.
