Transforming IT Infra of a mid sized Engineering Firm

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The engineering firm’s scattered locations and outdated on-premises infrastructure resulted in frequent hardware failures and significant application downtimes.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. 

Problems Faced 

  • Exchange database unmounting 
  • Server upgrades leading to massive downtime 
  • Major hard disk failure causing a 4-day SAP downtime 
  • Hardware malfunctions 
  • Internet reliability issues 
  • Scalability constraints 
  • Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery concerns 

The Solution 

Techgyan implemented a comprehensive IT transformation strategy, migrating the firm’s infrastructure to the cloud and deploying advanced tools to enhance efficiency, security, and collaboration. 

Key Solutions Implemented 

  1. Migration from AD to Azure AD
  2. Microsoft 365 for Exchange and File Server 
  3. SAP Business One, Tally, and HRMS on Azure 
  4. SAP server upgrades done twice in 18 months, each lasting 15 minutes as opposed to the previous 4 days 
  5. Defender for Business for Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), which provided superior protection compared to the earlier plain anti-virus solution 
  6. Defender for Cloud for Azure Infrastructure 
  7. Teams for Collaboration 
  8. Teamwork 365, SecureIT 365, and Data Center 365 Services 
  9. Comprehensive Backup for all Applications 

Results 

The transformation led to significant improvements in system reliability, scalability, and security. The firm experienced minimal downtime, enhanced collaboration across locations, and robust protection against cyber threats. Additionally, with the shift to the cloud, email services were consistently reliable, and the reduction in data center maintenance significantly lowered personnel costs. 

Highlights 

  • Seamless migration to Azure AD 
  • Improved reliability and uptime of critical applications 
  • Enhanced scalability with rapid SAP scaling 
  • Increased security with Defender for Business and Defender for Cloud 
  • Streamlined collaboration using Teams 
  • Consistently reliable email services 
  • Comprehensive data protection with regular backups 
  • Reduced personnel costs due to no data center maintenance 

Techgyan’s innovative approach and expertise in cloud services enabled a traditional engineering firm to overcome its IT challenges and achieve a modern, reliable, and secure infrastructure. This case exemplifies the transformative potential of cloud solutions for mid-sized businesses.
