Overview
National Food manufacturer with major retail supply chain logistics had aging on premise infrastructure for their legacy Manufacturing ERP solutions and integration with new platforms. The client needed a specialist team to consult on and execute the business needs while maintaining business availability and improving SOX compliance within their business software development & deployment environments.
About
National food manufacturer with multiple manufacturing and supply chain depots around Australia. With over 10,000 employees nationally relying on the ERP Solutions for their 24x7 business operation.
Background
Legacy environment posed significant risk due to staff retirements post covid and a shortage of industry knowledge and application development skills.
Challenges
To bring the ageing, legacy and undocumented applications under an outsourced managed development and deployment strategy while mitigating risk to production within a reasonable timeframe.
Solution
Utilising Pitchforks 30-plus years experience in software development and project management, we implemented a new SOX compliant development, rebaselining and documenting each application as it was brought in. New development and release pipeline was established with the business using our pool of skilled and highly experienced developers.
Result
Several million lines of code were brought under a new Software Development Lifecycle Management environment with streamlined release schedules and full SOX compliance for future product development. Full product production release was implemented with zero issues or outages to the business.
