Enniscorthy-based IT services provider Datapac has agreed a reimagined server and data storage solution to Kefron in a deal worth €370,000 over three years.
Kefron, a document and information management leader, has ambitious growth plans and aims to double the number of customers using its invoicing software, Kefron AP, which leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence.
As Kefron experienced rapid growth both in terms of its customer base and the innovative services offered, the company said it needed to upgrade its IT infrastructure to keep pace with this expansion.
After an extensive consultative process, Datapac upgraded Kefron's existing storage ecosystem to a HPE Nimble Storage Area Network (SAN).
Jonathan Purvis, IT Manager with Kefron, said that has the company's software solution has grown, so too has the amount of data that needs to be stored and secured.
"Datapac has been a long-time trusted advisor to Kefron, and the team worked closely with us to provide strategic road mapping and deliver this infrastructure upgrade with little to no downtime or interruptions to our business," Mr Purvis said.
"We can continue to grow Kefron AP at pace with the peace of mind that our IT infrastructure is fully scalable and enabling us to provide the highest levels of customer service. The Datapac solution has futureproofed our operations, maximising performance and ensuring the highest levels of security across the board," he added.
Pamela Keane, Service Delivery Manager at Datapac, said that as a long-term IT partner, Datapac are proud to play a continued role in Kefron's ambitious evolution into the digital age.
"The innovative HPE Nimble platform, designed and delivered by Datapac, is helping Kefron to enhance the invoice processing services it provides to customers and is enabling the company to grow its user base," Ms Keane said.
"As Kefron’s customers extend across varying time zones, it’s essential that the platform underpinning their cloud service offering ensures the very best uptime possible," she added.
