关于客户
PostNL 是一家领先的邮件、包裹和电子商务服务提供商,业务遍及荷兰、英国、德国和意大利。该公司拥有 10,000 多名员工,使用 Oracle 和 SQL Server 作为主要数据源。 PostNL 是云技术的早期采用者,利用 Fivetran 的云功能将其应用程序迁移到云端,并持续集成这些云系统。在进行云迁移之前,PostNL 已使用 Fivetran 15 年来支持由 250 多个数据库组成的大型分布式跟踪应用程序。该公司将 Fivetran 的使用扩展到整个企业的各种数据集成用例,使其有信心推进云迁移。
挑战
PostNL 是一家位于荷兰、英国、德国和意大利的邮件、包裹和电子商务服务提供商,决定将其 IT 运营迁移到云端,以保持竞争优势并降低成本。该公司的目标是停用其本地数据中心,并将其应用程序、基础设施和 IT 管理转移到云端。这些应用程序在 Oracle 和 SQL Server 上运行,在可能的情况下,PostNL 希望用软件即服务 (SaaS) 替换现有的定制软件。如果没有合适的 SaaS 替代品,该公司计划在基于云的基础设施和平台服务(IAAS 和 PAAS)之上实施遗留软件和定制软件。 PostNL 最初选择 Microsoft Azure 平台来提供这些服务,后来添加了 Amazon Web Services,以避免将其整个基础设施运行在单一供应商的解决方案上的风险。迁移过程历时两年多,带来了重大的集成挑战。 PostNL 需要将应用程序和数据迁移到云端,确保迁移的应用程序继续与现有的本地系统通信,并集成各种云环境。
解决方案
PostNL 利用 Fivetran 的云功能来简化其迁移过程。与许多依赖于应用程序位置的迁移/集成解决方案不同,Fivetran 使 PostNL 能够实施“直接迁移”方法。通过在每个数据平台上安装 Fivetran,PostNL 可以将每个数据库移动到云端,然后重新定义其在 Fivetran 中的位置,而无需更改应用程序。这种方法允许将应用程序轻松、增量地迁移到云,同时保持现有的集成。无论是将应用程序迁移到 Azure 云还是从其他云平台(例如 Amazon 的 EC2)添加服务,都使用相同的方法。一旦应用程序进入云端,PostNL 就需要跨云平台进行集成。为了应对这一挑战,PostNL 部署了基于云的 Fivetran 集成服务。该服务于 2014 年采用,作为 PostNL 的云集成中心运行,连接其所有基于云的解决方案。

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

IFFCO Boosts IT Performance and Innovates Agriculture with Oracle Cloud
Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd. (IFFCO), the world’s largest manufacturer and marketer of fertilizers in the cooperative sector, was facing several challenges in its quest to innovate and improve the livelihood of farmers in India. The organization had recently launched a new product, nano urea, which brought new demands to IFFCO’s cloud computing needs. The organization needed a reliable cloud vendor to support the processes of 6–7 new manufacturing plants during the upcoming year, enhancing its production capability 300–350 million bottles of nano urea to meet increasing demand. IFFCO’s cloud adoption was driven by a need to innovate. The organization wanted capabilities for a dynamic business that can adapt to the changing needs of the market while growing fast. However, it was inhibited by rigid on-premises data center deployments and the overhead of maintaining legacy systems. IFFCO wanted to apply the elasticity and availability of cloud for improving overall performance of applications at lowest possible operational overhead. Lastly, IFFCO needed to provide the benefits of its technology to all its stakeholders, including employees, members, transporters, and farmers, some of whom have limited literacy. To accommodate all stakeholders, IFFCO wanted to add a voice interface to its applications.

Revolutionizing Construction Equipment Rental: A Case Study on ProsRent and ENO8
ProsRent, a startup that won the 'Best Financial Opportunity' and 'Best Pitch' at CodeLaunch 2016, aimed to revolutionize the way construction professionals source and rent heavy equipment. In the construction industry, project managers and contractors typically rent heavy equipment from supply companies. However, predicting inventory can be challenging, and finding the required equipment at the right time and place can be a hassle. If the preferred vendor doesn't have the required equipment, it results in wasted time and money in searching for it, often leading to higher costs due to non-preferred rates and increased delivery costs if the vendor is located far from the job site. Suppliers, on the other hand, desired access to a wider base of trusted renters that they didn't have to vet themselves and wanted to offer dynamic rental pricing based on demand and availability in their market. ProsRent's challenge was to produce a minimum viable product that was fast and first to market but also strong enough to engender loyalty and repeat business from the target market.

AI-based Automation for Commercial Office HVAC: A Verdigris Case Study
Modern buildings are required to run longer hours, support a variety of end uses, and contribute to higher levels of economic productivity, leaving a thin margin for error. However, even the most advanced building and environmental control systems have failed to adequately support facilities and operations management. Buildings are often inefficient and the people using them are underserved. To meet occupant comfort and maintain cost and energy efficiency, a dynamic, AI-assisted approach is needed.
