Lack of acceptance of responsibility by the partner
Changing contact persons with little expertise
SLA according to contract does not match reality

“Fingerpointing“ and “Ticketpingpong“

Customers who trust Interlake
“The Archive On Demand project was particularly important to us because it was the first time that assets previously hidden in the archive could be freed. Because the provision costs were so low that we were finally able to think about business models, especially in the longtail sector. It was also important to us that the solution was scalable – both upwards and downwards.”
“Our restaurants and our guests count on us – technology solutions need to work smoothly and reduce stress for our employees. The close collaboration between Ray Sono and Interlake has resulted in a well-thought-out product development that has optimised our prize draws, while also ensuring the smooth operation of daily business.”
“Our software has been in safe hands with Interlake for over 20 years. We rely on their extensive expertise in the development and operation of sophisticated systems. The switch to cloud operation was successful ten years ago and has scaled completely smoothly with our growing business ever since. At the interfaces to other customer systems, our partners often rub their eyes in amazement at how reliable, flexible and comprehensive the Interlake cloud applications are.”
„Interlake is like an old pair of jeans that still fit. A reliable partner, that is helping us on a day-to-day base to develop, manage and optimize our systems.” Interlake and 3B Scientific have been working together for many years. We have been ensuring e-commerce availability for 3B Scientific since 2007 – so that our customer can be successful on the international market in the long term.
Our Azure Cloud Fitting and Operations approach
We handle your problem
We monitor your systems and rectify errors before you notice them. With us, you are always up to date. We analyze your problem and solve it ourselves or prepare it for your partner – because we are responsible.
With us, you are one of 100 and not one of 100,000
Our expert and the customer are always ONE team.
We are always available for you 24/7 with a high level of expertise and are happy to press the right button also at 3 a.m at night for important updates. Because we know that important things can’t wait.
We only operate what we can take responsibility for
… and then stand up for it.
That’s why we check your application carefully against our proven reference architectures and fit it to our best practices. We don’t work with just anyone, because we want to continue to grow old with our customers in the future.
We are experts & also understand your business
With us, cloud becomes a passion for you. We ensure your system operations in Microsoft Azure – and you or your partner take care of the code for your application and your end users. We understand both your IT and your business department – and are happy to translate.
In 4 phases to a stable application with carefree operations
1. Analysis
2. Fitting
3. Go live
4. Operations
You should plan for this:
In 6-8 hours of work on your side (spread over 1-3 weeks) we will implement the first phase together.
What you get out of it:
You get clarity for your architecture, benefit from our best practices and benchmarks established in many projects and receive concrete recommendations for action for implementation including costs and timeline.
This is what we plan to do together:
First, we clarify the common goal, concretise the software design and technical requirements, and focus on an analysis of the current and target status. Then you receive our concentrated expertise from 28 years of experience: we check the feasibility of the concept, optimize the current architecture based on best practices, develop concrete recommendations for action and create an individual plan for you, which we then harden and discuss in a joint final session.
You should plan for this:
Depending on the complexity of the environment, we usually need between 3-10 days of work on your side for our 2nd phase ‘Fitting’. We can provide you with a more precise time horizon after step 1 ‘Analysis’.
That’s what you get:
This is where the real magic happens: you get certainty from us about the feasibility of the concept and therefore no cost surprises from us. How? By setting up the Azure infrastructure in phase 2, carrying out a test flight and immediately initiating the recommendations for harmonization with our reference architectures. Because we all want to be able to rely on it working afterwards.
That’s what we intend to do together:
We officially start the implementation of the project, set up the infrastructure and already set up the governance, security guidelines and other automation components. A test flight can then start to deliver the first results. This is followed by harmonization with our best practices and the addition of potential further components from our reference architecture, which we decide on together.
You should plan for this:
As a rule, we need between 1-5 days for our 3rd phase ‘Go Live’. We can give you a more precise time horizon after step 1.
How you benefit:
We customize the environment to your requirements and validate your system architecture in the long term. Then we can celebrate the go-live of the productive environment together.
This is what we plan to do together with you:
We customize your interfaces to your individual requirements, ensure the necessary system integrations and processes and carry out load tests in which we put your application through its paces. We then carry out optimizations and finally go live. Regular operations can then begin.
