Empowering Innovation: Assai's Seamless Transition to Azure Kubernetes

As Assai embarked on the journey to migrate to Azure Kubernetes (AKS), they recognized the need for a reliable partner to navigate the complexities of this transition. After careful consideration, Assai chose CloudNation to lead this crucial endeavor. This success story dives into Assai's migration to Kubernetes and the transformative impact it had on their operations.

About Assai

Assai serves as an integrated system for document management, document control, and asset information management, specifically tailored for complex projects and operations within the energy market.

The Challenge

Operating primarily within a monolithic framework posed significant hurdles for Assai. The dependency on virtual machines running on Windows proved to be expensive and cumbersome for maintenance, especially regarding security patching. Additionally, the lack of agility hindered their ability to release services swiftly and innovate effectively. To address these challenges, Assai sought a more modern infrastructure with improved automation capabilities and better scalability for future enhancements.

Why CloudNation?

CloudNation emerged as the preferred partner for Assai due to their location in the Netherlands, facilitating personal contact and on-site support, which proved invaluable. Furthermore, CloudNation's expertise extended beyond Azure, aligning with Assai's broader technology objectives. The detailed response to the RFP demonstrated a shared understanding and language between the two parties.

"The cultural alignment between Assai and CloudNation is remarkable. CloudNation truly feels like an extension of our team." – Floris Schrijver, CTO Assai
