"For years, ServePath has helped us focus on growing our business by providing great uptime and support over the years. When our dedicated Service Team account manager called during his monthly assessment of our account, he recommended that we transition to Cloud Connect. Now we use GoGrid to provide a cloud of web servers while having our database on a beefy, dedicated server. This helped us to quickly scale to meet increased customer demand for supplier risk management services!"
The Search
BCMexperts was founded in 2000 by seasoned supply chain experts. They created a turnkey service to manage risk across all suppliers in large supply chains. When building their business, they needed a reputable and reliable hosting provider. They used Google to search and compare different vendors with price, reliability and uptime as the greatest concerns. Among the things that differentiated ServePath from the competitors were the 10,000% SLA guarantee, competitive pricing, proactive customer service and state-of-the-art data center. BCMexperts and its customers needed assurance that their hosted service would support thousands of suppliers worldwide at the same time. BCMexperts found in ServePath a hosting partner that stands out for its uptime, cost effectiveness and ability to scale. This gave BCMexperts the foundation on which it built its unique turnkey supplier risk mitigation services.
The Improvement
ServePath enabled BCMexperts to deploy its initial production environment in just a few days. As BCMexperts' business grew, ServePath proved its value through exceptional uptime and customer service. One day, a ServePath account manager familiar with BCMexperts' hosting environment called Patrick Brennan, CEO, to recommend a better solution for his business. On the ServePath side, data access rates would be increased by using dedicated servers for its databases. On the GoGrid side, BCMexperts could use a cloud front-end to scale web servers up or down based on demand. A smooth transition was accomplished in less than a week after accepting the recommendation, based on a detailed production migration plan.
The Big Move
Not only did ServePath/GoGrid exceed expectation by meeting the deadline early, but the hybrid environment significantly lowered BCMexperts' costs instantly! Using Cloud Connect, BCMexperts is assured of great uptime and cost effectiveness while it focuses on growing its business. Similarly, BCMexperts achieved even greater server response times and better on-demand scalability, especially using Cloud Connect.
"We measured a 42% improvement in production response times and a 6x improvement in scalability immediately using Cloud Connect. We are confident of great uptime, scalability and cost effectiveness through ServePath/GoGrid. That lets us stay focused on growing our business." Says Patrick Brennan, CEO, BCMexperts.
"ServePath and GoGrid's Cloud Connect are critical to the continued success of BCMexperts!"
