A smart and secure ordering process at Reviva because of Azure
A smart and secure ordering process at Reviva because of Azure
Intercept has been helping software companies migrate to Azure and innovate on the platform for years. It also occurs that both are done, like at Reviva. In 2020, the service provider had the urge to have more scalability, cost control, and better performance in its virtual environment without significant investments in replacement hardware. Azure proved to be the answer, but after implementation, the question of optimal security of the APIs arose. How did Intercept tackle the project?
What is it Reviva does?
"We specialize in providing refrigerated and frozen transport and the option for our couriers to do an age check at the door," says senior system and network administrator Max Landwer Johan.
Reviva offers the ultimate customer journey during and after ordering your product. They do this seven days a week in a time slot of your choice, day and night. Thanks to their personal and flexible delivery service and excellent communication, the recipient is always at home at the delivery time.
From hardware to the cloud
"Until 2020, Reviva had its in-house hardware systems, but in the same year, the need for an alternative arose," says Max. Reviva was looking for a scalable platform to control costs better and achieve better performance in its virtual environment. Max: "We knocked on Intercept's door because we were curious whether Microsoft Azure could help us with this."
After multiple sessions, Intercept migrated Reviva's environment to Azure. Max was awed by Intercept's dedication, "It's incredible how involved Intercept was during the project. They worked 12 hours non-stop to ensure a successful migration ."

Optimal security with a firewall
Once in Azure, the request for optimal security emerged. "We have several portals that customers can only access, and we felt it was important to protect customer data with an IP Whitelist. This way, not everyone can access these pages," says Max. Intercept implemented a firewall to protect this. Max: "All new implementations around security are now also through the dev./test phase. That means customer data is now even better protected."
The results of the collaboration
Max is satisfied: "With Azure, management is easier. We have saved a lot of costs. In short: we never want to go back." That Max is satisfied with Azure is obvious, but how does Max reflect on the collaboration with Intercept? Max: "No question is too absurd for Intercept. We can always turn to them."
"Controlling your costs in Azure is something that needs ongoing monitoring. Therefore, Reviva is now successfully using Azure Reservations and software subscriptions. With tools, they realize significant cost savings. In addition, Reviva has extensive insight into cloud costs with Azure Cost Management and the Intercept customer portal."

How do you protect your organization against Ransomware?
Never waste a good crisis”, these famous words by Churchill could not be more relevant today as shown by the increasing number of ransomware attacks which have a significant impact on affected organizations and on our society.
In this article, I would like to focus on how you can grapple with the following topics: expertise management amongst personnel, IaaS vs PaaS, how you can keep pace with innovations, DevOps culture, cloud security, and framework.
What is Azure Cloud Governance and how do I apply it to my Environment?
Cloud technologies are relatively easy to implement. You can be up and running within minutes, but rushing at the start often leads to more work later on. That’s why it’s important for you to have a solid plan in place.
How does Azure deal with privacy, security and compliance?
Data security is growing importance. As an organization, you’re obliged – including under strict regulations – to handle your data with care. You don’t want your data to end up in the wrong hands either.

Checklist part 2: Choose your architecture before you migrate to Azure
As a second in a series of articles, we’ll take a look at architectures and why it is important to take a look at the overall picture. Do you want to define a roadmap and see where you are in 3 years? Probably not. But you do want to understand the implications your architecture has on added value, available features and pricing.
Checklist part 1: Choose your strategy before you migrate to Azure
Before you start your Azure journey it’s important to take a step back and think of what you’re trying to achieve. The first step to successfully modernizing your solution is to determine your strategy, short term and long term.
