The Challenge
According to Oscar Criado del Rey, Prolacto's General Manager, "we want to promote the growth and modernization of our company's business and for this it is essential that we can guarantee a robust, flexible technological infrastructure capable of supporting the process of autonomization and business evolution. With this objective, we have to be totally focused on satisfying the needs of our customers and that's why we decided to outsource the management of the technological component, in order to gain flexibility and operational efficiency."
The solution implemented
Migration of Prolacto's technological infrastructure to Altice Portugal's Data Center in Covilhã - Virtual Private Servers.
MEO Empresas provides end-to-end management and maintenance of the technological infrastructure and management of Prolacto's fixed and mobile communications on a virtual platform. It also ensures all the infrastructure's security components.
Cloud Office 5.0 solution for office environment virtualization.
The results achieved
According to Oscar Criado del Rey, "we decided to host our infrastructure in an advanced data center, in a private cloud environment, and we have a team with great expertise that guarantees the permanent supervision and updating of our systems.
We guarantee the permanent availability of our technological resources and know that we always have the capacity to host our data and applications securely, and that they are always available, minimizing productivity losses. We can therefore be totally focused on the business, without having to worry about managing and maintaining the technological component.
By migrating our infrastructure to a cloud environment, in a Data Center located in Covilhã, we also guarantee that our data and systems are always protected and available and that, in addition, we have an infrastructure with the capacity and flexibility to support the evolution of our business, which is reflected in gains in productivity, efficiency and optimisation of resources.
We can thus evolve with greater flexibility, speed and cost efficiency, since we have the autonomy to dynamically scale the resources available in the data center, paying only for the resources that are used.
What's more, we don't have to allocate internal resources to infrastructure management, nor do we have to invest in maintenance and technological upgrades. All of Prolacto's communications and information systems are managed 'end to end' by MEO Empresas. We thus have a single interlocutor who ensures all the components of technological management.
We also have greater agility and flexibility in managing our communications in the cloud, ensuring better management of fixed and mobile communications, depending on the needs of the teams and the business. In addition, we are now able to manage the work environment of our teams with greater flexibility and security, as they can now access their work tools and applications with total security from any terminal, inside or outside the office, thus promoting greater collaboration and productivity."
"We have the flexibility, capacity and autonomy to manage our technological resources in line with the growth dynamics of the business, with lower operating costs. We can be totally focused on the business by having a technological partner with a high level of know-how and the capacity to align all our technological resources in an optimised way," says Oscar Criado del Rey.
