2IBI Software

Meet 2IBI Software: a nimble ERP consulting firm based in Mozambique, fearlessly tackling the complexities of modern business. 

Founded in 2012, 2IBI Software quickly discovered that relying on local servers meant slower deployments, higher maintenance costs, and endless logistical headaches—especially as more clients demanded remote solutions. 

Determined to reshape their business model, CEO Luis Leal Leonor led a decisive shift to V2 Cloud, cutting down on setup times and redefining the rules of ERP hosting in Southern Africa.

The Challenge: Local Servers vs. Flexible Cloud

Before adopting V2 Cloud, 2IBI Software relied on local servers and external partners for infrastructure setup and maintenance. While this approach worked initially, it quickly revealed significant inefficiencies as the company grew.

Setting up servers was time-consuming, managing backups required constant vigilance, and ensuring reliable remote access was a challenge—especially in Mozambique, where internet connectivity can be inconsistent.

“Before V2 Cloud, we collaborated with other partners to supply infrastructure like servers and backups. This approach was time-consuming, required significant resources, and relied on local servers with limited remote access capabilities.”, Leonor explained. “During the pandemic, these limitations became more apparent as our clients transitioned to remote work.”

As remote work became the norm among clients, the limitations of local servers became glaring. Complex installations, frequent maintenance needs, and limited accessibility created delays and frustrated customers.

The team realized they needed a more agile, scalable solution that could meet their clients’ needs without the high costs and operational bottlenecks of traditional infrastructure. Transitioning to a flexible cloud environment became not just a priority, but a necessity.

The Solution: Hosting ERP Applications on Cloud Desktops

The shift to V2 Cloud marked a major turning point for 2IBI Software. By embracing a cloud-first model, the company eliminated the complexities of local server management and empowered its team to focus on delivering tailored ERP solutions to clients. 

Tasks that once required significant time and technical expertise—like setting up infrastructure, managing backups, and enabling remote access—were now simplified, saving both time and resources.

More than half of 2IBI’s clients quickly adopted the cloud-based solution, attracted by its reliability and the ability to access systems remotely without the need to invest in expensive on-premises infrastructure. 

“The most significant advantages include reliability, ease of deployment, and reduced downtime.”, the CEO shared. “Clients who experienced server crashes in the past have found V2 Cloud to be a much more stable alternative.”

This seamless migration to V2 Cloud transformed how 2IBI delivered ERP solutions, enabling faster setups, improved reliability, and a stronger foundation for client success.
