Case-Study Antoniewicz GmbH
Whenever Culinary art, creativity and inspiration joins together as a congenial unit of extraordinary taste experiences, most certainly Heiko Antoniewicz was involved.
However, the top chef from Werne (Germany) has far more in mind than just his unique culinary creations: In addition to being an explorer in cooking he as well lives a passionate mission: Making his cooking-knowledge accessible for everyone.
For the migration of his company´s current On-Prem-IT-solution into the Cloud, Antoniewicz as CEO of the Antoniewicz GmbH turned to record-consult GmbH. The Oracle Cloud Partner, located in Cologne, took care of the request in providing a full customer service. The chef Antoniewicz meanwhile can concentrate on what he likes to do most: Unfolding the ideas in his head, heart, and belly into astonishing food concepts, plus cooking. And of course: how else could it be, cooking.
Flexible and modern solutions based on the Oracle Cloud
The Assignment given to record-consult GmbH by Heiko Antoniewicz wasn’t an unusual one for the cologne IT-specialist. Within the high-endgastronomy the prestigious chef is a top-class product developer. His previous IT-solution was based on a – company size fitting – On-Prem-infrastructure concept with corresponding availabilities and administration needs. Thanks to the successful growth of the company, as well as the innovative business models of, its IT Solution was ready to be transformed into a scalable business solution.
By the help of the Oracle Cloud, the record-consult created a flexible, modern solution which perfectly meets the requirements of the chef. The Microsoft Technologies in the architecture have been modernized and migrated to the cloud using “Infrastructure as a Service” from Oracle.
To make his proprietary ERP-software work, a virtual desktop environment, based on terminal server technology, has been set up. “Now all users can access the ERP-solution through a centrally managed, virtualized client.” Said Michael Linus Wessels, CEO of record-consult. “Thereby no employee needs to worry about the availability, updates or backups.”
Availability and security on the highest level
By the migration process, record-consult established the different Microsoft Windows-technologies, which used to be “on-prem” (locally at the company), as an IaaS-Service inside the Oracle Cloud. While doing so, not only the operating systems where updated, but also various services – including Active Directory services – have been upgraded to the latest releases. In addition, the availability of the system as well as the security of all integrated services were brought to a whole new level. “Reengineering our IT was one of the best decisions for our company”, said the top chef Heiko Antoniewicz. “Now our IT-system fits exactly to our culinary level: upper prime sector”. On a sidenote: The complete migration was performed in only one single weekend and luckily has entailed just a minimal downtime due to the system migration of the ERP-data.
