A reliable IT infrastructure as a foundation
Theo Sanders, IT Infrastructure Manager at ForFarmers: "AMIS Conclusion manages our crucial Oracle systems and databases that are essential for our animal feed production and administration. Through a system transition, they upgraded our IT infrastructure to an ODA environment. Thanks to a service agreement, AMIS Conclusion not only provides management, but also continuous support and problem solving. This forms the backbone of the factory infrastructure in the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom and Poland. The data is used for production planning, formulation and standard administrative systems. This means that everything must be available 24/7 and work flawlessly."
Smart licensing and hardware advice delivers savings
Prior to setting up the data environment, AMIS Conclusion extensively tested the requirements against the possibilities of Oracle hardware and licenses. This resulted in a more efficient design without sacrificing the availability and reliability of the environments. Theo continues: "The licensing experts and architects at AMIS Conclusion made the design in such a way that we can manage with fewer systems. This has given us considerable savings. In addition, we regularly receive proactive advice on how to reduce costs and improve the performance of our data environment."
Long-term partnership that proves itself time and time again
Theo: "In recent years, we have built up a strong partnership with AMIS Conclusion, based on expertise, collaboration and proactive advice. For example, the fail-over setup has been well thought out, so that we can quickly be operational again in the event of an unexpected outage. This is necessary because many of our processes need to be available 24/7. AMIS Conclusion also plays an active role in resolving disruptions and keeping our environments up-to-date. In addition, we periodically test our emergency plans. This ensures that we can rely on a well-prepared scenario in the event of an emergency. Not only on paper, but also in practice."
Certainty, today and in the future
Theo says: "AMIS Conclusion not only ensures that our current environment functions optimally, but also that we are ready for the future. This way I can provide the business with a clear and reliable data service and they know where they stand in our factories. And if it is really necessary? Then we will quickly have a specialist from AMIS Conclusion on board. Someone who knows what he is doing and helps us to be operational again quickly. You hope it's never necessary, but I sleep better knowing that I can rely on AMIS Conclusion."
