The primary challenge for Stamhuis was scaling up their IT infrastructure. Crucial to continue supporting complex and data-rich applications, such as 3D modeling for their construction projects. After all, Stamhuis’s strength lies in executing projects at ‘warp speed’.
“We wanted a minimum uptime of 98 percent”, says Wilco Verburg. “If the ICT fails, we can no longer carry out our daily activities.”
Interstellar has implemented a customized Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solution in the private cloud that meets all requirements. This solution ensures high uptime and supports the continuous need for innovation within Stamhuis.
The modern IaaS environment provides Stamhuis with a fully equipped and secure IT landscape characterized by:
The new IT infrastructure provides Stamhuis with a significant improvement in performance and reliability. With a customized cloud solution, they can manage construction projects more efficiently and exceed customer expectations.
Interstellar’s application knowledge and expertise have also been applied to work on uniformity, security, and availability of the ERP system. With the renewed system, Stamhuis offers optimal support for daily processes.
Verburg is very satisfied with the collaboration. “If you don’t receive any complaints from your users, that’s the best compliment you can get, isn’t it?”
The collaboration with Interstellar has not only provided Stamhuis with a robust and reliable IT infrastructure but also a strategic partner who understands their need for fast and flexible solutions. This IT support enables them to innovate at the forefront of the construction sector.
According to ICT Manager Verburg, Interstellar is more than just a supplier. “Only in an equal relationship can you share complex issues with each other and jointly come up with good solutions. What’s the prerequisite for this? One hundred percent mutual trust. But we also complement each other. While we focus on functionality and applications, Interstellar relieves us with an optimally configured and managed IaaS environment in the private cloud.”
