The FF Group AG with its nine locations relocated its entire IT to the MTF Business Cloud. All industry applications used, a comprehensive ERP system and all controls for the production facilities were migrated.
"In a close and intensive cooperation with MTF we have realized a very flexible and extraordinary solution for our companies. Internal IT costs have been reduced, processes have been simplified and the availability of the system landscape has been increased. Thanks to MTF's adaptable solution, we are well prepared for future requirements."
Martin Hengartner | CFO | FF Group AG
A versatile and modern company like FF Group AG has diverse and demanding IT requirements. These were only fulfilled to a limited extent with the existing decentralised and mostly outdated IT systems at the various locations. High availability and reliability are for the company, which manages its production systems via a single ERP system. The shift operation of the FF Group AG also requires competent support and a fast 7x24-hour on-site service. FF Group AG also attaches importance to a central contact person for all IT matters in order to keep its own IT organisation lean and cost-efficient. Due to the many locations, flexible, location-independent work is also important, especially for management staff.
The Cloud Desktop from MTF is the perfect solution for the requirement profile of a central IT network within the different company locations. This innovative and reliable application provides the entire working environment with all data and applications - including SAP and highly complex CAD applications - regardless of location. A minimum Internet bandwidth and any end device are sufficient to work. The data and applications are stored in the highly available, certified data centers of MTF Solutions AG. Cost-intensive CAD workstations are no longer required as the CAD application is offered directly from the data center.
FF Group AG is a holding company with nine operations at various locations. The business activities of the FF Group include the trading and processing of steel and building materials, the operation of various craft centres, customer-oriented processing and logistics solutions as well as online shops with over 250,000 items. With its high quality standards and strong logistics and processing expertise, the FF Group is a leading supplier in the steel trade. Through professional advice in the craft centres, it offers a high-quality service for construction, industry and craftsmen. The company employs a total of 350 people at various new locations throughout Switzerland.
