Overview
Executive summary
Deckspectra, an IT consulting firm focused on cloud, ERP and digital transformation, engaged Core5 — an AWS Advanced Tier Partner — to migrate its client's Odoo ERP application from on-premises infrastructure to AWS.
The challenge
What they were up against
- Infrastructure couldn't expand well, causing resource shortages during peak periods.
- Hardware upkeep was expensive and resource-intensive.
- Periodic outages hurt productivity and customer satisfaction.
