Vitamin and supplement maker Blackmores is planning to move its 15-year-old on-premise ERP to the cloud by the end of the year.
Blackmores adopted its JDE Enterprise One solution in 2002, and is now seeking to shift it up to Microsoft Azure and potentially expand it across the business.
“We are undertaking a proof of concept and to date we are seeing very positive results,” said Brett Winn, Blackmores’ chief information officer. “The vision is to move around 90 per cent of all our workloads to Azure over time. The team are moving at a sensible pace and proving our workloads are suitable for cloud deployment. The key outcome we are focusing on is the ability to provide flexibility to Blackmores as we seek to expand our technology reach across a global organisation.”
Blackmores migrated to its current JD Edwards ERP solution in 2002, following an overhaul of its 20-year-old Qantel legacy system. The project to decommission the system, proposed as far back as 1999, was codenamed BBQ: bye-bye Qantel.
