Case Study:
Zertus UK and Ireland – Azure Landing Zone + Infrastructure and Managed Service
Zertus UK and Ireland
The Client
Overview
Zertus UK & Ireland, part of the Zertus Group GmbH, is a leading snacking and chocolate confectionery industry player. Focused on producing and marketing high-quality foods, their products cater to diverse consumer preferences. Zertus’ commitment to innovation and sustainable practices naturally extends to its IT services, which are paramount to the smooth operation of such a large company.
The Challenge
Zertus UK & Ireland had a requirement to establish and consolidate a best practice cloud identity and authentication platform in the Microsoft Azure cloud. This was to help facilitate the future growth and cloud-centric IT expansion of the business. The plan was to merge several business entities within the UK and Germany. It was vital that any design work took this into consideration, ensuring the proper infrastructure, networking, governance controls, and security measures were in place to protect a large geographically dispersed 1,500+ strong user base.
The Solution
LA NET designed and deployed a secure landing zone in Azure, following the Cloud Adoption Framework for Microsoft Azure (CAF) best practice guidance. The landing zone included all necessary security controls, policies, alerts, and governance guardrails to ensure the management of the environment was streamlined whilst still maintaining a high standard of security.
The Outcome
Zertus was presented with a highly secure and scalable platform that took future planned expansion into consideration while making sure the current state of the platform was not compromised and ensuring a smooth transition to cloud-based technologies. LA NET was also chosen by Zertus as their managed service provider for ongoing Azure monitoring and support. This means that any issues can be efficiently resolved and the platform will be updated and maintained in line with the latest standards and best practices.
“LA NET has provided us with a robust and secure platform that is already serving us brilliantly. They took our questions and concerns on board at every stage and ensured we had a platform that met our needs. As part of the managed service, the LA NET support team have informed us of the latest updates and improvements to the platform. Overall, we’ve experienced a seamless transition to our new cloud platform, and we have the confidence that it is being managed by a team we can trust.”
