Business Situation
Vandemoortele – a leading food company based in Belgium – knows that operational excellence leads to happy customers, happy employees and a successful business. Employees wanted to spend more time focusing on fulfilling the brand promise of “best taste, best quality and best service” than managing their hybrid cloud environment, which combines on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure. Plus, hit by a sharp increase in energy and raw material prices, management wanted to rein in IT spending to keep finances healthy without affecting the products customers rely on.
“By managing and optimising our IT estate, Avanade has helped us unlock capacity and budget to focus on higher value modernisation efforts that deliver value to both our customers and our employees.”
Solution
Through our Manage and Evolve offering, we’ve provided support for Vandemoortele’s full IT environment while delivering consistent, accurate reporting that flags cost increases and helps the company bring them back down again.
What began as a traditional management and support relationship quickly evolved into a trusted partnership between our two companies that has grown to include:
- Workplace enhancements, such as a Microsoft Teams Enterprise Voice implementation and more
- Application modernisation
- A continuation of Vandemoortele’s Microsoft Azure cloud migration and adoption
Results
With new solutions and continued modernisation, Vandemoortele is improving the workplace experience. The managed services we provide have freed employees to focus on Vandemoortele’s core business – the recipe for their success.
