The massive company has over 16 years of experience and has built 6,500 units, two shopping malls, 15 all-year-round destinations, one clinic hub, and much more.

The unprecedented focus of the Egyptian Government on establishing new infrastructure and destinations has led to the evolution of Porto Group. But the organization recognized that a change to adopt more modern approaches to deploy remarkable improvements is inevitable. This includes optimizing the Group’s operational systems and IT workflows.

OPTIMIZING PORTO DEVELOPMENTS’ IT WORKFLOWS

Global Brands Group, a name synonymous with building comprehensive solutions, has established a trustworthy relationship with Porto Developments over the years. We have previously walked the large-scale organization through an inclusive digital transformation.

As a reputable leader in the real estate industry, Porto Developments decided to take serious steps to becoming an all-digital real estate developer. They needed an IT provider that could accommodate a more agile organization by building a more flexible infrastructure, and sought Global Brands Group as the go-to provider for their IT project.

Global Brands Group, a Microsoft award-winning partner, designed a roadmap to navigate and optimize Porto’s system complexities. After which, the highly experienced team migrated Porto’s workloads to Linux on SAP Virtual Machines on Microsoft Azure. 

The process of migration to Microsoft Azure is rendered one of the best decisions for a big entity like Porto. Best of all, GBG conducted the process smoothly and seamlessly with a zero-error margin. The end-product is a powerful and scalable infrastructure that can contain future developments and allows for more reliable performance and lower operational costs. GBG has led yet another successful experience of end-to-end digital transformation, as always.

Founded in 1979, Oriental Weavers Group is one of the biggest carpet, rug, and related raw material producers in the world. Its operation spans three manufacturing countries, 31 factories, and 130 distribution countries. The Group is also a global leader in exporting machine-woven carpets, as well as tufted and jet-printed rugs and carpets.

With an unrelenting vision to maintain its position as the world’s largest manufacturer in the industry, Oriental Weavers Group understood that IT innovation and flexibility were vital in helping it scale its business model across more diverse markets as well as the region.

The manufacturer Group sought Global Brands Group to help migrate its existing massive database to SAP HANA. Because SAP HANA is compatible with other databases, software, and hardware, the solution rendered Oriental Weavers Group flexibility, real-time insight, and analytic capabilities without causing disruptions to its existing interfaces. Combined with VMware virtualization and bolstered with disaster recovery measures, Oriental Weavers’ new IT infrastructure enabled unrivalled capabilities with the power to handle and manage larger volumes of data. This empowered Oriental Weavers Group to sustain and continue its expansion, enabling it to scale its business companies and branches with protection against IT risks and operational disruptions.

A GLOBAL BRANDS GROUP COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE

Efficient and Safe Migration

Harnessing solutions from Dell Technologies, Global Brands implemented SAP-certified hardware infrastructure combined with a VMware virtualization software to effectively migrate Oriental Weavers’s environment. To bolster security, we also equipped the disaster recovery site with Dell EMC Recoverpoint to prevent data loss in unforeseen circumstances.
