Until recently, Svane Køkkenet had to have a server and an IT manager at all of the chain's 24 stores. The 3D program "Winner" was a bottleneck for combining servers and IT skills into one hosted solution, but SmartShare's technology was able to get data traffic moving again. It not only lifted a large IT burden from the shoulders of the employees, but it also minimized electricity consumption, benefiting the green bottom line.
"Without SmartShare's technology, it wouldn’t have succeeded. Their StraightShaper is the key to centralizing and hosting for us.
We have god rid of 20 servers which we no longer need to keep running or keep cool. Obviously, this has had a major impact on our electricity consumption.
The solution hasn't just benefited our competitiveness and our level of service; it has also made our business greener," says IT Manager Anders Sommer of Svane Køkkenet.
