Neil Perry's restaurants migrate to Microsoft cloud
Reseller upgrades Rockpool empire.
Sydney Microsoft partner Vision 3 IT has overseen a cloud and on-premise migration across the restaurant empire of famed chef Neil Perry.
Lane Cove-based Vision 3 overhauled both the IT backbone for Perry's high-end Rockpool restaurants as well as set up cloud infrastructure for the chef's newest endeavour, Burger Project.
Burger Project, which launched late last year, opted for cloud infrastructure on Azure and Office 365, with mobility and remote access and monitoring some key benefits.
Rockpool Group executive director Trish Richard said: "Being able to work from anywhere at any time has changed the way we operate... Right now, I can be sitting at my farm overseeing staff working on recipes for our partnership with Qantas, but still also oversee the operations of restaurants as far as Perth."
Meanwhile, Vision 3 migrated the rest of the Rockpool Group restaurants from end-of-life Windows Server 2003 onto "new versions".
The migration is the first step in a cloud “journey” that the company hopes will eventually see a centralised booking system allowing staff to view each restaurant’s capacity, staff levels and customer database.
Located in the CBD, the Burger Project opened last year serving grass-fed Tasmanian beef burgers, with other ingredients including Murray River Gourmet Salt Flakes and ice cream churned in-house.
