Cloud migration and printing automation for a leading packaging manufacturer
Industry: Manufacturing (Packaging Solutions)
Challenge: Transitioning from on-premise to cloud infrastructure to enhance scalability, security, and operational efficiency.
Solution Provider: SQiBLE
Background
A prominent packaging manufacturer specialising in laminate and plastic tubes faced limitations with its on-premise infrastructure. Physical servers constrained scalability and security, while large-scale upgrades posed a risk to workflow efficiency. Additionally, the business required a more agile solution to support monthly releases and maintain essential ERP-to-local-printer workflows for uninterrupted production.
Solution
To address these challenges, SQiBLE facilitated the manufacturer’s migration to Infor’s CloudSuite Industrial (CSI) ERP and implemented Cloud Printing for CSI. This solution automated the ERP’s document and report printing to network-attached printers, removing manual printing tasks and saving users valuable time.
