Southern Beverage Company Expands Relationship with Denovo and Moves to Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure - Denovo

Written by Admin | Jan 22, 2019 7:00:00 AM

Southern Beverage Company expanded their relationship with Denovo by purchasing a bundled managed services solution that included a strategic move to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

The decision was made to lift and shift their core Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to Oracle’s Public Cloud. This included JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ERP, as well as their Hubble and Vertex systems. This provided them with the highest degree of speed and flexibility. Denovo was selected due to their existing relationship and expertise in bundling together Cloud infrastructure with managed services and application management.

“Southern Beverage has adopted the cloud for many of its internal systems. We were still hesitant to move our core ERP system to the cloud due to security and performance risks. As our long-term trusted advisor, Denovo demonstrated that Oracle Cloud provides a higher level of security and performance combined with elasticity for future growth.” Alan Clark, Director of IT, Southern Beverage Company

Southern Beverage is already seeing the benefits:

  • Eliminated on-premise hardware supporting JD Edwards
  • Reduced infrastructure cost by 40%
  • Improved system performance on a modern cloud infrastructure
  • Eliminated future capital requirements
  • Reallocated resources who had previously managed infrastructure
  • Consolidated remaining FTP servers

Denovo has provided remote managed services and project related consulting services for Southern Beverage Company for many years. As part of the move to the Oracle Cloud, Southern Beverage Company will continue to have Denovo manage their JD Edwards ERP application, while receiving increased support for infrastructure management and disaster recovery. The complete solution from Denovo and Oracle will reduce infrastructure costs and allow Southern Beverage Company to focus its resources on growing their business.

“We are seeing a shift in the market where many of our remote Managed Services and Consulting customers are evaluating how and when to move to the cloud. Denovo is uniquely positioned to help our customers develop and implement a cloud strategy that is the best fit for their business.” Marty Snella, CEO, Denovo

“Denovo is a leading Oracle Managed Services Provider (MSP). Their work with Southern Beverage is one of many examples of their ability to quickly and cost effectively move Oracle ERP and related workloads to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and provide supporting managed services.” Sanjay Asnani, Head of North America Partners, OCI Product Management
