THE CUSTOMER

THE PROBLEM

The customer is using Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 on-premise and had severe issues with their existing mobility solution. It had a limited feature set and lacked some essential attributes needed by any enterprise app. They readily shifted to Folio3 mobility suite to be used by their workforce into the following areas:

The mobility suite consists of native mobile apps for iOS and Android and the responsive Web portal applications and middleware for each area. The customer had the following infrastructure and DevOps needs:

  • The web portals and middleware apps should be hosted in Azure as app services.
  • Azure single sign-on for mobile apps and web portals.
  • Mobile apps build distribution.
  • They should be connecting with Dynamics AX 2012 hosted on-premise.
  • Infrastructure security & Application monitoring.
  • Disaster recovery.

FOLIO3 SOLUTION

  • The whole Infrastructure deployment is done through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) process using Azure ARM scripts along with Azure CLI. The automation is performed using Azure DevOps release pipelines.

  • Azure AD Application registrations were also automated through Azure DevOps.
  • The automation is being performed for all the development process stages.
