Challenge
The Customer wanted to setup a customized CRM software (INFOR) on AWS Cloud. INFOR CRM provides comprehensive capabilities for managing sales, marketing and customer service activities and information across any enterprise. Customer’s requirement was to have the UAT environment initially setup and have the Production environment later implemented on AWS Cloud mimicking the UAT setup. The entire setup had to be monitored 24×7 with continuous attention towards optimization based on usage.
Solution
CK initially architected the solution with the sizing provided by the Customer and their Application vendor. All through the initial stages of the discussion, CK had indicated that there was room for improvement as that could be tried out in the UAT before moving to Production. Customer agreed to the approach of trying out in POC and CK built the UAT environment with the provided specifications. Post trials by the Application Team, Customer requested CK to resize the environment to optimize spend. The AWS infrastructure catered to both short-term and long-term goals, and stop/start schedules were immediately setup to optimize the cost further.
