Budget approvals which demand solid business case and ROI calculations

CASE STUDY OF OUR CLIENT

SCENARIO

Customer had to transition to newer and bigger facility and sell their current property.
Apart from aging hardware, JDE original discs were not in place due to employee movement.
Moving with current set-up posed a huge risk for business continuity and change management.
IT had not budgeted for the activity since it was an executive decision communicated suddenly and had to be managed quickly.

WHY XOOM WORKED

Cyret Proposed XOOM which allowed them to Upgrade in a phased manner and support their ERP for the next 3 years at no additional cost !

CYRET XOOM SOLUTION

With only a 10 % down payment, the Upgrade ball started rolling.
After the initial fee, customer paid a monthly fee for :

STEP 1: SW Upgrade project management

Technical upgrade from v.8.11 to latest version v.9.2
Phases: Planning, Design, Build, Test and Go Live
Cyret had full execution & Project Management responsibility of the upgrade
Schedule 5 months from start to final approval

STEP 2: CNC & DBA managed services

Package builds
JDE Maintenance
Health checks
Fine tuning
Checking and Monitoring

STEP 3: Cloud Provisioning

Recommended Oracle Cloud which is optimized for Oracle application such as JDE
TIER 3 facility, 99.741 % Uptime (22 min/a max downtime)
BYOL Model (Bring Your Own Licenses) to leverage their investment on Licenses.

Customer had full visibility to the cost for next 36 months and no surprises whatsoever

Customer did not have to scout for a support vendor or build a support team post upgrade

The instalment payments were covered by their Operational budget thereby reducing the tax burden on Capex as well as leaving them with a healthy cash flow to budget for other software tools.
