Australian marketing company Salmat plans to move everything it can into the cloud, following a highly successful initial implementation of cloud services.
Australian marketing company Salmat plans to become a cloud-only operation within five years, after a project to replace highly customised on-premise systems with cloud software proved a huge success.
In 2014, the marketing giant, which has 4,000 staff across four countries, was struggling with its Oracle JD Edwards enterprise resource planning (ERP) legacy system, which required an expensive upgrade.
Instead, it moved to a cloud-based suite of software from Workday. By doing so, the company’s chief technology officer (CTO) says it rid itself of expensive and time-consuming upgrades and gained a list of benefits that is “too long” to explain.
