MatexNet deploys Tata Communications’ managed hosting to improve productivity of its online auction business

BUSINESS CHALLENGES:

• Overdue technology refresh of on-premise data centre involving space constraints, high cost of ownership and high maintenance overheads
• Unyielding on-premise system unable to scale up with growing customer transactions and innovative applications, directly resulting in lost transactions and profit opportunities
• Slow/interrupted website and application performance ensuing diminishing customer experience

TATA COMMUNICATIONS’ SOLUTION:

• Dedicate managed hosting services for secure high-value transactions
• Data replication and disaster recovery for failover
• High-speed network connectivity between MatexNet offices and DR environments to support instant bidding data exchanges and storage
• 24/7 monitoring and management

“As online auctioneering is our mainstay, our success solely depends on our ecommerce performance. We need to continuously innovate and upgrade technology to provide top-of-the-line online auction experience to our customers. Tata Communications’ managed hosting provides a resilient, reliable, high performing platform to host and run these sophisticated applications, with enough room for growth and expansion, thus increasing the productivity and efficiency of our online operations.”
