SoftwareOne to Migrate GQ Apparel Points of Sale and Back Office Systems to Newly Launched AWS Asia Pacific (Thailand) Region
GQ Apparel is among the first clients to move back-office systems and more than 22,000 POS terminals to the new AWS Thailand Region to benefit from better performance and lower network latency
SoftwareOne Holding AG, a leading global software and cloud solutions provider, today announced that its existing customer, GQ Apparel, an omni-channel men’s apparel brand in Thailand, will be among the first to migrate its back-office and Point of Sale (POS) systems to AWS’s new cloud infrastructure region in Thailand. The implementation will encompass GQ's Human Resources Management, CRM, Warehouse Management System (WMS), Advanced Data Warehouse, Retail Traffic Analytics, Employee Management System, and over 22,000 POS terminals spanning 200 stores. SoftwareOne will support this transition to scale GQ’s infrastructure, enhance business growth, improve access to applications, and integrate systems to make operations faster and more efficient.
With the launch of the AWS Thailand Region, SoftwareOne will be able to support customers in the country with access to AWS services locally, facilitating customers' migration to the AWS Cloud, modernising their applications, and achieving better performance through reduced network latency. Furthermore, customers in Thailand will benefit from maintaining control over data processing and storage within their geographical region, thus enhancing data security and compliance management.
SoftwareOne will also guide customers through the implementation of the SoftwareOne AWS Landing Zone. This comprehensive pre-configured and automated framework provides a foundation for building a secure, multi-account AWS environment. Featuring cloud infrastructure, policies, and guardrails, including centrally managed services, it is designed to help organizations quickly set up a secure and scalable environment with a consistent set of AWS best practices. Additionally, SoftwareOne’s professional services portfolio will support customers in migrating and testing new technologies, such as AI and Generative AI.
“With SoftwareOne and AWS, we are able to rapidly scale our infrastructure, enhancing our business growth,” said Arun Raj Rajendran, CIO at GQ Apparel. “The launch of the AWS Thailand Region will significantly lower network latency, improving access to key applications, integrated systems, data warehousing, reporting, e-commerce, POS, ERP and warehouse management systems. This will help both our customers and developers by making our operations faster and more efficient.”
“SoftwareOne is committed to enabling global organizations across various industries with the world’s most comprehensive cloud and AI technologies to innovate, scale, and achieve their business and digital transformation objectives,” said Navajith U M, APAC AWS Lead at SoftwareOne. “The new AWS Thailand Region allows us to help customers scale affordably and leverage cutting-edge AI technologies, enabling us to deliver even greater value to our customers and make SoftwareOne’s global expertise and resources readily accessible to local clients. Businesses of all types will be able to accelerate their digital journeys more efficiently, benefiting from on-the-ground support in cloud migration, application modernisation, end-user computing, and FinOps.”
