Modernform Group – Together We Innovate

Our Partner

A VMware Cloud Verified partner, Cloud HM offers infrastructure as a service, backup as a service and disaster recovery as a service.

Modernform had previously tried working with another cloud services provider but faced service issues and ended up shelving plans to more to a cloud infrastructure.
This time around, the furniture giant decided to work with Cloud HM, the only local cloud services provider in Thailand with a Tier IV data center.
Cloud HM is a VMware Cloud Verified partner, giving organizations the confidence that they will receive the best implementation of VMware Cloud infrastructure as a service.
Together with Modernform’s IT team, Cloud HM helped to smoothly migrate the workloads that are directly related to the e-commerce platform to the cloud.
Having experienced success with the cloud solution, Modernform is in the process of moving another 30 percent of its workloads to the cloud, which will include workloads from manufacturing and logistics.
Cloud HM is also deploying VMware Tanzu as a service for Modernform so they can modernize their apps quicker.

Modernform wanted to regain its foothold in the retail furniture market.
In early 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Modernform launched an e-commerce portal to attract house-proud millennial consumers with high purchasing power.
But Modernform was not equipped to cope with the volume and speed of consumer demand.
With an on-premises IT infrastructure, it was difficult to scale up resources to keep up with demand or to build new tools to leverage e-commerce data.

Migrating to the cloud has enabled employees who can work from home to do so seamlessly during lockdown restrictions
Since the cloud infrastructure allows new virtual machines to be set up in 48 hours, instead of the two months required to procure and provision a physical server, the IT team could easily spin up resources on the fly to support the building and delivery of new tools. This meant that it could speed up the development, testing and roll-out of new applications for marketing, sales and data analytics that integrate with the e-commerce platform. As a result, online sales saw double-digit growth
Business units such as marketing or customer service can bypass the IT team and access the data themselves from anywhere, leading to quicker business decisions
Moving to the cloud has also resulted in cost savings from reducing the need to procure, maintain, cool and store physical servers
