Challenges in the IT Environment 

Amidst the pursuit of groundbreaking research and manufacturing, Extractas has encountered its fair share of challenges in the ICT realm. Like many organisations, Extractas grappled with legacy systems, resource constraints, and the need to swiftly pivot to new technologies. Richard Loone, the IT manager at Extractas, reflected on their journey, acknowledging the pressures of the current market environment and the imperative to modernise their infrastructure. 

The Journey with cubesys: Leveraging Azure for Transformation 

Recognising the need for a digital transformative shift, Extractas partnered with cubesys to embark on a journey of digital transformation. The scope was ambitious: migrating 39 on-premises servers to Azure cloud infrastructure, optimising operations, enhancing security, and enabling scalability.

Benefits Realised: Scalability, Security, and Cost Optimisation 

The Azure migration brought about tangible benefits for Extractas. Enhanced scalability empowered Extractas to adapt computing resources seamlessly to fluctuating business demands. The optimisation of Azure subscriptions not only streamlined operations but also yielded significant cost savings. Moreover, modern monitoring solutions and reliable backup systems ensured sustained operational excellence, fortifying Extractas’ technological backbone. 

Challenge of Elasticity: Readiness for the Cloud Ecosystem 

Addressing the challenge of elasticity in the cloud ecosystem, Extractas and cubesys collaborated closely to ensure readiness for the transition. Drawing from Extractas’ in-house expertise and cubesys’ guidance, the migration was executed seamlessly, even amidst operational challenges. Loone emphasised the significance of cubesys’ flexibility and knowledge-sharing, underscoring cubesys team’s role in overcoming obstacles. 

“It is one of those industries where communication is not necessarily done particularly well, but the cubesys team that I dealt with were just great.”
