About The Customer
Established in 1946, Resene Paints Ltd. is a multinational paint manufacturer with operations throughout New Zealand, Australia, and Fiji. The company’s products include a full range of paint and specialist coatings for residential, commercial, marine, heavy industrial, road marking, automotive, and agricultural use. To help customers accurately and efficiently estimate paint volumes for large-scale construction projects, Resene developed a cloud-based online tool. The manufacturer’s small IT department sought a simple, cost-effective solution for publishing onsite data to the application’s cloud-hosted database.
The Challenge
Resene Paints Ltd., a multinational paint manufacturer, developed a cloud-based online tool to help customers accurately and efficiently estimate paint volumes for large-scale construction projects. The manufacturer’s small IT department sought a simple, cost-effective solution for publishing onsite data to the application’s cloud-hosted database. They needed a solution that would not only be efficient but also reduce the ongoing costs for the offering, including development, licensing, and support.
The Solution
Resene engaged Eight Wire Ltd., a New Zealand-based firm, to deliver its Conductor offering, a powerful data migration and management solution running on SoftLayer cloud technology. Developed with support from the SoftLayer Catalyst Startup Program, the Conductor platform is designed to move cloud data quickly, easily, and effectively. With the Conductor solution running on SoftLayer cloud technology, Resene greatly accelerated its data migration efforts, completing its project 98 percent faster than anticipated.
