About The Customer
UNIT4 Business Software is a global business software company that creates, delivers and supports adaptable software and services worldwide to help dynamic organizations manage their business needs effectively. They aspire to set the global standard for business solutions that help dynamic organizations to embrace change, simply, quickly and cost-effectively.
The Challenge
UNIT4 Business Software was facing increasing demand for cloud-based ERP solutions. To keep up with this demand, the company wanted to partner with a cloud hosting provider that offered a diverse range of services and a global data center presence, including facilities in Canada. Additionally, the company sought a trusted brand leader with a well-established international reputation to help bolster its cloud offerings.
The Solution
After evaluating leading cloud hosting providers, UNIT4 determined that IBM and the SoftLayer® cloud platform met its requirements for a strong global brand, worldwide data center locations and a wide-ranging service portfolio. The business deployed a SoftLayer bare metal and virtual server infrastructure to support Canadian customers and anticipates extending its SoftLayer environment further as needed.

  • Increases flexibility with a wide range of provisioning and deployment options, including bare metal servers
Quantitative Benefit
