Powering Business Growth

Servimed is one of the largest distributors of pharmaceutical and consumer products in Brazil. The company employs more than 2,000 people, delivering over 28,000 orders per month through four large distribution centers.

Background

Operating in eight Brazilian states, Servimed has grown consistently since it was founded in 1973 and now boasts a portfolio of more than 15,000 products. The company aims to build on its position as the strategic link between the manufacturing and retail sectors.

Challenge

To enable its ambitious growth plans, Servimed is always looking for ways to streamline shipping and sales processes, and to boost efficiency. While preparing to upgrade to SAP HANA applications, the company recognized that its previous IT infrastructure was failing to keep up with the pace of change at Servimed, and represented an obstacle to innovation. The legacy IT solutions called for specialized support, increasing the company’s IT costs and limiting agility.

Servimed decided to simplify and transform IT at the company. Never an enterprise to shy away from change, the company began exploring alternative IT consumption models.

Enter Lenovo TruScale: Leadingedge technology, delivered asaService.

Servimed opted to become a pioneer among Brazilian companies, adopting Lenovo payasyougo technology for hybrid cloud through Lenovo TruScale Infrastructure Services. By opting for InfrastructureasaService (IaaS) solutions, the company gets access to the latest technology without high upfront investments.

Sevimed chose IaaS over a public cloud approach after careful consideration.

“Starting a new project in the public cloud is usually straightforward and offers known benefits,” said Henrique Cardoso, Coordinator of IT Infrastructure and Security at Servimed. “However when we talk about an onpremises infrastructure migration with highly interconnected
processes, the risks increase significantly compared to the benefits. It’s like changing the wings of an airplane while flyin
g! We did a technical and financial feasibility analysis of asaservice models currently available, and for the same infrastructure we currently have with Lenovo’s TruScale in a public cloud, we would pay three times the fee, and incur additional challenges with performance and control.”
