Discover the outcome of this success story, in video interview format (French only):
Groupe Dallaire, a Quebec leader in real estate development, has taken a leap forward in its digital transformation by migrating its infrastructure to Google Cloud. This strategic decision, driven by growing challenges related to aging infrastructure, has enabled the company to gain performance, flexibility, and operational efficiency.
The Challenges of a Growing Leader
Groupe Dallaire, a major player in the development and management of large-scale real estate projects, was facing obstacles related to its physical and aging IT infrastructure. Performance, stability, and availability issues were impacting the company’s growth. Additionally, a lack of flexibility made it difficult to add new resources and access data for users.
The Solution: Google Cloud, a Springboard to Modernity
To address these challenges, Groupe Dallaire chose to migrate its infrastructure to the Google Cloud environment, accompanied by SE Cloud Experts. Solutions such as Compute Engine, CloudSQL, and Cloud Run were deployed to optimize performance and application management.
