AutoDeploy
A Strategic Partner to Seamlessly Migrate ERP to AWS Cloud

ERP systems, with Oracle at the forefront, serve as the bedrock of numerous organizations' digital transformation endeavors. As these systems hold sway over a multitude of critical business operations, the complexities of maintaining these mission-critical systems have only intensified.

AutoDeploy, a distinguished partner of AWS and Oracle, is redefining how enterprises interact with their ERP systems. It is orchestrating advancements in efficiency, agility, and cost-effectiveness for clients facing challenges in maintaining their on-premises infrastructure.

“The complexity of managing various components within an organization can be overwhelming. Our solution involves shifting the routine maintenance tasks, such as system patching, to managed services like Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS). Amazon efficiently handles these responsibilities, providing significant benefits to our customers,” Mark Dalton, CEO of AutoDeploy.

The genesis of AutoDeploy was rooted in automating the laborious tasks associated with Oracle package build and deployment processes. However, as time passed, it discerned a growing appetite among enterprises to harness their ERP software for more than just transactional functions. They sought a tool that could deliver comprehensive insights, foster collaboration, and optimize operational efficiency.

In this vein, AutoDeploy is leading the charge in facilitating ERP migrations to the cloud and transforming client’s enterprise application stack into a platform. This approach minimizes integration barriers, as all components become accessible through representational state transfer (REST) endpoints, simplifying the entire process. Leveraging AWS Lambda for integration offers the flexibility to choose the preferred programming language, eliminating any language constraints. By embracing Amazon's technology, AutoDeploy empowers the clients to achieve notable performance improvements in their systems.

The clients can swiftly provision resources in a matter of 10-15 minutes. AutoDeploy’s software, constructed using CloudFormation and adhering to Amazon's best practices, simplifies and automates the intricate steps required for migrating from on-premises environments to the cloud, delivering substantial benefits to clients on multiple fronts. The software features the 3-click AllInOne Amazon machine images (AMIs) available on the AWS Marketplace. It significantly reduces the time and complexity linked to the provisioning process, expediting the upgrade journey for clients' ERP solutions and causing minimal disruption to their operations.

The utilization of AWS CloudFormation empowers the creation of standardized and repeatable infrastructure deployment templates, ensuring consistent and dependable configurations.

This streamlines the deployment process and guarantees the scalability and manageability of the cloud environment. By adhering to Amazon's best practices, the software aligns with industry standards and security protocols, effectively mitigating the risks associated with data migration.

AutoDeploy's AMI-driven model streamlines ERP migrations, turning the traditionally lengthy 6 to 12-month process into a matter of weeks. In a recent proof of concept, it rapidly moved 33 terabytes of ERP data to AWS in just five days, resulting in remarkable performance enhancements and unlocking the scalability of AWS.

Migrating to AWS offers clients availability, flexibility, security, and access to a wide range of services for innovation and added value in Oracle ERP applications. This includes lower infrastructure costs, machine learning, analytics, and seamless integrations.

The company also offers disaster recovery (DR) solution that effectively fulfills any recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) metrics. It performs multiple failover points, facilitating the continuous operation of vital business applications in alignment with clients’ operational requirements.

Recently, AutoDeploy conducted a successful DR test for a client leveraging the expertise of its internal cloud ops team and implementing a comprehensive set of checks. It achieved an impressive success rate of 99.99 percent across various critical components, including applications, data, security groups, and user provisioning. The outcome represented a significant triumph for the client, ensuring uninterrupted operations and eliminating potential disruptions or unforeseen events.

The key to success lies in the consulting arm, with a dedicated team assisting clients throughout their cloud journey, addressing various stages of the process. Whether it involves archiving data from legacy hardware, managing tape backups, or implementing sophisticated solutions like tape gateway to migrate data to AWS, the team excels at engineering customized strategies that navigate the complexities of transitioning the ERP to the AWS environment effectively.

AutoDeploy will continue to evolve with its partners, bringing new capabilities to its clients and taking them one step further in their digital transformation journeys.
