Challenges

A word from Rampf Formen GmbH

  • “Oracle Beehive proved to be the right choice right away. A severe hardware failure affecting one of our servers was easily handled without loss of any mail, by simply switching to the backup environment.” – Thomas Staiger, Project Manager, Oracle Beehive Deployment, Rampf Formen GmbH

  • Replace existing, unsupported communication and collaboration system with an affordable, state-of-the-art solution
  • Find a solution that ensures continuous communication with customers and suppliers, necessary during development of the company’s custom-order molds for concrete blocks
  • Ensure failsafe performance and recovery within eight hours
  • Deploy new solution and migrate all data from the existing environment without delaying production and other business processes, which could affect customers’ construction project timelines
  • Optimize team processes with help of collaboration services
