In order to improve cost efficiency, ensure business continuity, elevate user experience and business intelligence, and streamline acquisitions, the home services company wanted to migrate off of their legacy on-premises datacenters, and into the cloud.

With 29 brands and counting in the company’s network, they had outgrown their on-premises datacenters. The datacenters couldn’t scale to accommodate current and future acquisitions, and failed to integrate data for reporting, analytics, and user experience. The company lacked the internal cloud expertise necessary to independently choose a cloud service provider (CSP), create the infrastructure, and complete the migration efficiently and effectively.

DTA Cloud started by initiating a cloud comparison exercise to help the home services company’s leadership compare and analyze CSPs to determine the best cloud destination based on their goals, skills set, and cost. After the company chose Microsoft Azure, DTA Cloud began implementing an Azure Control Tower to migrate corporate operations. We then built an Azure Data Lake to be used by the company’s brands in the future as a data warehouse. Finally, DA Cloud migrated their corporate operations, systems, and application workloads to their new Azure Tenant cloud.

The home services company is a local network of 29 home service brands including Mr. Rooter Plumbing, Molly Maid, Glass Doctor, and Precision Garage Door. Their 4,800 home services franchise companies locally owned across nine countries, and nationally acclaimed. Their website connects customers with the high quality residential and light commercial services available under their business. The company specializes in buying and developing businesses to build a service community that enriches people’s lives.
