ABOUT THE CLIENT

Coop Alentour, a Quebec-based cooperative, is dedicated to promoting community building and education through sustainable and locally sourced food products.

As advocates for healthy food options in Quebec, Coop Alentour plays a crucial role in fostering a sustainable and responsible food ecosystem.

The Challenge

Coop Alentour faced challenges stemming from an economic crisis and price wars, which left them with significant monthly cloud expenses. These expenses posed a threat to the cooperative's operational viability, hindering their ability to invest in critical areas of business growth. Additionally, Coop Alentour experienced suboptimal usage of cloud resources, leading to high eventual expenses. This challenge impeded their business growth and necessitated finding a solution that could optimize their cloud infrastructure.

Azure workloads were provisioned and configured based on business needs, and a transition to Cloud4C's CloudOps ensured continuous optimization.
