Cloud Migration and Inventory Management Strategy

This case study details the digital advisory efforts undertaken by Cherry Bekaert for Thompson Tractor Company, focusing on their transition from outdated technologies to a cloud-based inventory management system. The document outlines the challenges faced by Thompson, including reliance on legacy systems and siloed teams, which hindered operational efficiency. The primary objective was to develop a business intelligence strategy that would streamline business processes through cloud migration and data analytics. The study describes the assessment of Thompson's existing business model and the subsequent Microsoft Architecture Design Session (ADS) that defined the scope of work for the migration. Key outcomes included the migration of 70% of the SharePoint 2010 site, the conversion of workflows to Power Apps, and the establishment of a new SharePoint architecture. The implementation of these technologies has allowed Thompson to automate processes, improve data integrity, and enhance supply chain performance, ultimately leading to faster decision-making and improved operational efficiency.
