Case Study: Simmons Foods achieves cloud migration and better search with Cloud Sherpas

Custom Application Development Allows Simmons Foods to Go Google

Simmons Foods, a poultry supplier, was hindered by its slow and non-searchable Lotus Notes system, particularly due to a deeply integrated Document Template Library application. This legacy system was frustrating users and slowing business operations, preventing a full migration. Cloud Sherpas provided the solution with a custom application development service to overcome this migration obstacle.

Cloud Sherpas developed a unique process to migrate the critical Lotus Domino databases to Google Sites and created custom App Engine gadgets to add functionality. The results were significant, giving Simmons world-class search capabilities, intuitive navigation, and anywhere-access. This move to the cloud freed the company from its clunky legacy system, allowing its IT department to focus on other projects and enabling employees to work more effectively and efficiently from any location.
