Case Study: Bob Evans Farms achieves reduced technical debt and resilient, scalable cloud infrastructure with Expedient

Bob Evans Farms - Customer Case Study

Bob Evans Farms, a nationwide restaurant chain recently acquired by Post Holdings, needed to reduce technical debt and implement a resilient disaster recovery plan while migrating a large VMware environment with extensive Oracle licensing. The company selected Expedient and its Expedient Enterprise Cloud after prioritizing a cloud partner that could deliver secure, flexible, hands‑on support for a complex migration and ongoing operations.

Expedient delivered a hybrid solution—hosting the VMware estate in the Expedient Enterprise Cloud, placing databases in a private cloud, and providing managed services including backups, DRaaS, dedicated firewall management, and server monitoring. The move cut technical debt, improved resiliency against outages and ransomware, and enabled future scalability; the transition completed in about 48 hours so manufacturing schedules were not disrupted, and Expedient continues to act as an extension of the Bob Evans Farms IT team.
