Crisp + Zencore | Customer Story: From the Datacenter to Google Cloud
In January 2023, Crisp, a leader in supply chain optimization for zero waste, acquired Integral Group, a company specializing in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Integral’s critical operations, relied on legacy technologies and manual management and required modernization and integration into Crisp’s cloud- based infrastructure. The objective was to transition these operations to Google Cloud, leveraging Kubernetes and cloud-native architectures to enhance scalability, reliability, and efficiency.
Project Challenges
Crisp faced significant challenges in integrating Integral Group’s legacy systems, which were characterized by outdated technologies such as DB2, manually provisioned VM infrastructure, and minimal CI/CD practices. The merger necessitated a strategic approach to migrate and modernize these mission-critical applications to a cloud- native platform, ensuring seamless operations and alignment with Crisp’s innovative supply chain solutions.

“The opportunity cost of deploying our product engineers on infrastructure work is almost always too high for our organization, regardless of how critical that work may be. Zencore supplies us with the experienced engineers we need to be able to respond to these needs without cannibalizing the resources that are dedicated to our product roadmap.”Jeff Olchovy Senior VP of Engineering, Crisp
