The video game turned into Retail.


Angry Birds is a multi-million dollar video game series created in 2009 by the Finnish company Rovio Entertainment. The game has been adapted to touch screen devices, such as those based on Maemo, iOS, Symbia, Java and Android.

 

With more than a billion downloads in 2012, this application was the most popular of the year in the Apple App Store and Google Play. In addition, it is also the best-selling game in history on mobile media.

 

However, Angry Birds is not just a digital phenomenon: the characters are so popular that the company started to sell bird toys, costumes and all kinds of merchandising, having stores all over the world.

Problematic

The purpose of this project is to find solutions for the management of Point of Sale terminals + Backoffice + Loyalty, integration with your current ERP in the central one, which allows access to information through an internet connection from any mobile or fixed device located anywhere. It required a measure that reduced costs, guaranteed a better uptime.

 

Cloud computing is a new model for the provision of business services and technology, which allows the user to access a catalog of standardized services and respond with them to the needs of their business, in a flexible and adaptive manner, in case of unforeseeable demands or peak work, paying only for the consumption made.

 

Solution

The project designed for Angry Birds consists of the creation of a Private Infrastructure (Private Cloud or Private Cloud) of commerce, that allows to outsource all the content servers of the companies through virtualization, centralizing the services in a single Data Center .

 

The fundamental idea is that both the storage of data or the execution of applications or programs are services that can be offered on a global scale through the Internet, instead of operating locally in each company.

 

This infrastructure allows any company to access the entire collection of products quickly and agile through the network.
