Since IT-related matters closely affect the daily operations of the stores and such critical business processes as inventory management and product orders, ELVI decided to hire professional help. In December 2021, ELVI started cooperation with Primend, and within a couple of months, the main IT infrastructure issues were promptly and efficiently reorganized.
The first step in the cooperation was a comprehensive audit of Veho SIA: it included mapping of all the hardware and software used in the company and interviews with all the employees to find out the most critical sore points for the users. All the network equipment, security settings, age of the equipment and connections were also checked, as well as server hardware, platforms, operation systems and links. After the IT audit, a report was issued where the tasks were prioritized, starting from the most mission-critical ones. The report identified that the server park of the company was in the most vulnerable state, as the equipment and operation systems were old.
