Hosted Solution Eases Transition to new JD Edwards Environment
MONTREAL, Nov. 26 /CNW/ - Syntax.net, experts in the development and delivery of intelligent IT business solutions, has added Plastibec, a leading manufacturer and supplier of vertical louvers, horizontal slats, and valances, to their impressive portfolio of Oracle JD Edwards Hosted and Managed Services clients.
Plastibec recently completed an asset buyout of their parent company, Royal Window Coverings. As a result, the company needed to migrate all necessary data to their new Oracle, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system without causing interruption to their business. At the same time, Plastibec did not want the added expense or headache of an IT department to provide ongoing support for its enterprise software.
Plastibec turned to Syntax.net.
"We needed a vendor who had a strong software model coupled with low cost managed services. From the very start of the project, Syntax.net worked hard to deliver the Plastibec solution based on our very unique requirements," commented Kris Taylor, Vice President Operations & IT. "Syntax.net successfully navigated a difficult environment. While we were working through a buyout, they managed third party software providers, holding them to schedule and budget, in order to create a solid infrastructure for our solution and deliver it 2 weeks ahead of schedule."
The savings Plastibec incurred as a result of the smooth and seamless transition working with Syntax.net is estimated in the millions and Syntax.net's managed services allowed Plastibec more time to focus on their core business. Syntax.net's flexible IT solution will support Plastibec's aggressive expansion efforts by providing reliability and availability for their enterprise software without the headache of a full blown IT shop.
"We are very pleased to beworking with Plastibec and to provide them with a secure infrastructure and the flexible software solution they need to support their growth," stated Michael Etinson, President, Syntax.net. "This is an excellent example of how we can provide a comprehensive solution that allows Plastibec to focus on managing their business while Syntax manages their computer systems."
