Opisto chooses BSO to support the evolution of its cloud infrastructure_

Competitiveness of the market and the need for flexibility

Opisto facilitates the exchange of auto spare parts for auto-repair professionals and individuals via its marketplaces Opisto.fr and Opisto.pro. Opisto’s marketplaces provide the general public and auto repair professionals with a catalogue of over three million spare auto parts, all individually tested and traced. Their business model promotes a more circular and sustainable economy in the automotive industry.

Opisto.pro had 21 500 users in 2020 and over the past three years, the number of users on the platform has increased by 147%.  The company is also experiencing a very significant increase in its platform traffic in 2021. In October 2021, Opisto experienced a new attendance record with 550,000 connections.

From a technical standpoint, Opisto has turned to a managed cloud environment to host, manage, optimise, and ensure the operational maintenance of its platforms and, thus, activity. This choice, motivated by a strong need for flexibility and agility, also required the support of an infrastructure provider able to meet Opisto's specific challenges.

Custom support, proven benefits

Opisto is in the process of migrating all of its databases to BSO who is pro-actively supporting the process and taking this opportunity to further optimise those. The fast escalation process, the drastic reduction of downtime, and increased safety now allow Opisto teams to focus more of their efforts on R&D and other high added value projects.

BSO also responded to Opisto's need to gain greater control over its cloud management costs. Unlike larger providers who offer highly scalable pricing, pricing for BSO cloud connect services is fixed and fully contractual. This pricing model allows Opisto to enjoy great transparency and cost anticipation.

“This transparency and predictability are valued highly by Opisto and they constitute a need expressed by many companies. For the cloud to be a true ally, the technical and business advantages it provides must not become an additional financial burden. ”, explains Pascal Tarin.
