Adidas Streamlines Purchase Cycles and Saves Money by Migrating to the Cloud

The Challenge

Resolving Service Disruptions and Strengthening Data Security

One of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-quality athletic shoes, apparel, and accessories, Adidas needed a reliable, effective, and secure sales platform to enable e-commerce.

Their legacy e-billing application experienced regular shutdowns. The sales portal was often unavailable at critical times, disrupting business operations and making strategic decision-making impossible. Inadequate back-up mechanisms and disaster recovery solutions compromised data integrity and security.

Adidas needed a modern, futureproof solution to guarantee uptime, performance, and security and underpin growth.

The Outcome

A Seamless Migration to Business Benefits

Sutherland conducted a thorough analysis of Adidas’ existing infrastructure, applications, and operational processes. The analysis compared the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of various cloud platforms to enable informed decision-making.

Following a swift proof of concept for a ‘lift & shift’, Adidas chose OCI for its cloud platform.

Sutherland managed the entire migration process, including selection of the optimal availability zone with minimal latency, with no business disruption or data loss. ClouDesk-based cloud infrastructure monitoring and management with built-in SLA management ensured SLAs could be tracked and performance assured.

The cloud transformation resulted in improved platform performance and improved built-in security.
