A migration project that combined human support, performance gains and real preparation for growth.
Bexp has been operating in the Premium dealership segment since 2018, representing brands such as Audi, Jeep and Porsche. With the group’s rapid growth and expansion of its operations, an invisible problem began to have a direct impact on results: IT infrastructure.
What seemed like a solid foundation revealed itself as an imminent risk. The company operated with local servers based on outdated Windows — without Microsoft support, with critical vulnerabilities and no expansion capacity.
“We got to the point where making a simple backup took two hours. Our applications were slow, and the database was unstable. It was impossible to scale with that structure.”
Denis Murillo dos Santos - IT Coordinator
The search for a solution led Bexp to Top Car, another dealership in the sector, which was already an Optidata client, a Premium cloud specialist focused on performance, security and humanized support. The referral was spot on. From there, the story changed.
The challenge: outdated IT in a sector that demands excellence in service
With the increase in service volume, registrations, financial systems and integration between branches, the old infrastructure began to slow down operations. Among the main problems were:
- Windows without updates and without official support
- High risk of attacks and digital vulnerabilities
- Compromised performance: slowness in ERPs and SQL databases
- Slow backup, done manually and without redundancy
- Lack of scalability to support new stores
According to IBM report, the average cost of a data breach in 2023 was $4.45 million. In Brazil, the average time to identify an attack exceeds 180 days. For companies with legacy infrastructure, the risk is even greater.
According to Denis,
“we weren’t just looking for price. The priority was value. I wanted a partner, not just a supplier who pushes servers.”
The solution: migration to a cloud designed to grow with the business
Optidata created a customized technical plan for Bexp, prioritizing:
- Migration without operational impact
- Support outside business hours
- Isolated and secure environments
- Redundancy, automated backup and scalable architecture
- 24/7 support with real technical team — no chatbots
How it was done:
- Detailed technical diagnosis of the old structure
- Mapping meeting of critical applications
- Night schedule definition to avoid downtime
- Direct support channel creation with Optidata team
- Assisted migration of all applications in a single night
- Stability, performance and final contingency tests
“I was clear in the meeting: we can’t have unavailability. We had already had two problematic migrations in the past. This time, it was different. They were ready. We migrated with minimal impact and no stress.”
The results: security, performance and freedom to grow
Right after the migration, the first results were already visible:
Performance
- Backup time dropped from 2h to 6 minutes
- Reduction in internal systems latency
- Performance gain in database and ERP
Security
- Isolated environment with replicated structure
- Active anti-DDoS protection
- Infrastructure based on zero trust standard
- 24/7 SOC/NOC support and continuous security audits
Scalability
- Current structure allows opening up to two new stores without any additional server investment
- Real-time monitoring of resource utilization
- Flexibility to scale applications on demand
Success indicators
- 0 minutes of unavailability during migration
- High internal IT NPS post-project
- Reduction of operational risks and cost predictability
“Today I can tell the board: we’re ready to grow. We can open branches without touching the infrastructure. And the best: the users themselves noticed the difference.”
In addition, Optidata’s model eliminates CAPEX costs, with licenses, backup and maintenance included in the monthly fee. Ideal for companies seeking predictability, scalability and compliance.
