Allen Company faced the challenge of vacating their on-premises IT infrastructure, which had reached its End of Life (EoL). The company required a modern, cloud-first solution to manage critical workloads while ensuring seamless operations for line-of-business applications, customer-facing services, and dealer resources.

• Implementing cost-effective and scalable cloud solutions.
• Ensuring high availability and operational continuity.
• Reducing management complexity in their IT environment.
Allen Company recognized this as an opportunity to enhance scalability, streamline operations, and position itself for long-term success.
