Kalundu Trading, established in 1976, specialises in the import, export and distribution of starter motors, alternators and associated spare parts. It is a key supplier to major distributors and wholesalers throughout the world.
Kalundu Trading is a long-standing client of KCS and approached KCS with a request for a hosted solution that could alleviate the risks and concerns associated with the maintenance, administration and monitoring of its on-premises ERP system. Due to the age of the company's hardware, the possibility of data loss was becoming a risk, which could result in system downtime and loss of productivity, which would be costly to recover from.
KCS offered a hosted solution, K-Cloud, which drastically decreased the expenditure associated with non-hosted solutions, such as capital costs of hardware as well as payroll costs of IT staff members.
K-Cloud provides a very secure offering with the ability to actively monitor processes and backups, which was an important requirement in Kalundu Trading's decision-making process.
Patrick Sch"arer, Managing Director of Kalundu Trading, said: "It was of great concern that our business was at risk due to our outdated server. As our business continues to grow, we need to ensure that we are able to securely store our data so that we can remain operational with no down time. K-Cloud offered us a unique solution that ensures our business remains operational under all circumstances."
Sch"arer added: "Dealing with KCS was a pleasure. Their hands-on approach, their knowledge and critical understanding of how to migrate data into the cloud ensured ease of transitioning. I would highly recommend working with them."
Kalundu Trading also receives the following benefits from K-Cloud:
* Fully resilient tier 3 data centre
* Carrier agnostic
* International network coverage
* Secure, fully managed environments
* Critical areas monitored 24/7
* No single point of infrastructure failure
* Performance and capacity reporting
* Backups and archived data held at off-site location
Tiaan Grobbelaar, Sales Director at KCS, said: "We are pleased to have Kalundu Trading as a hosted client. K-Cloud ensures that they will have more time to focus on their core business and customers, improving productivity and profitability, thereby maintaining a competitive edge."
