On November 4, The Vernon Company successfully migrated a major component of their business operations, their enterprise resource planning system (ERP), to Denovo’s Private Cloud. Since their founding in 1902, The Vernon Company has always been a company dedicated to internally managing critical and decision-making information needs of their company. Since their days of using IBM mainframes, large capital investments in centralized systems and specialized resources has always been a part of doing business. Starting today, The Vernon Company has made a major step toward the company’s evolution towards digital transformation.
“Human resources are retiring and we saw a great opportunity to make the move to Denovo’s Private Cloud. Denovo did a great job of creating a bundled solution that included purchasing our existing IBMI infrastructure. Vernon is very happy with the migration from our in-house solution to Denovo’s Managed Cloud services. The Denovo team was very professional and did a great job in managing the process.” Chris Lanagan, VP of IT, The Vernon Company
To move their IT systems out of their facility was a big decision for the Vernon team. The cloud migration included Vernon’s JD Edwards solution and surrounding applications that operated inside of their internal domain. The solution included Hosting, Managed Disaster Recovery, Infrastructure Managed Services, JD Edwards Application Managed Services, and an application upgrade to the latest release of JD Edwards.
“I viewed the final decision to move to Denovo’s Private Cloud as critical process improvement strategy for Vernon since the disaster recovery protocols are more robust overall, provide better parallel operating environments and will ensure faster full system capability recovery time than we could have provided within our own corporate infrastructure. It was a win-win long term decision for us.” Chris Vernon, CEO/Vice Chairman, The Vernon Company
What’s next for Vernon now that they are live on Denovo’s Cloud? The JD Edwards Enterprise One 9.2 upgrade is actively underway. With the upgrade, Vernon will take advantage of a code current strategy that will allow them to stay up on the latest and highest functionality and tools offered by Oracle. Denovo will play an important role in that continuous delivery process.
