Rackspace Technology and Google Cloud Bring Optimized Promotions and Dynamic Disaster Recovery to Mrs. T’s Pierogies
February 02 2021 - 10:05AM
Rackspace Technology™ (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end
multicloud technology solutions company, today announced the
results of its migration to Google Cloud Platform for Mrs. T’s
Pierogies, the largest provider of frozen pierogies in the United
States.
Rackspace Technology assisted the pierogy-producer in migrations
services, applications services and managed storage, which has
helped the organization improve forecasting, optimize promotions
and better manage its disaster recovery efforts. Mrs. T’s has
realized immediate benefits of the upgraded system, with a 60
percent acceleration in their batch transactions and on-screen
end-user transactions.
Producing more than 600 million frozen pierogies a year, Mrs.
T’s Pierogies had created a world-class food production process but
ran its IT platform with on-premises SAP. Once SAP mandated a move
to S/4 HANA, the company recognized the need to migrate from its
SAP system to Google Cloud to achieve both cost efficiencies and
smart data capabilities. Given the company’s reliance on Electronic
Data Interchange (EDI) for invoices, warehouse movements and
transfer orders, it was imperative that the migration experienced
zero downtime on day one of the completed migration. Rackspace
Technology achieved this by breaking down the migration from SAP
into multiple phases and providing instant dividends -- all with no
business disruption for Mrs. T’s.
“Mrs. T’s needed meticulous planning and flawless execution in
order to integrate and operate the new system essentially
overnight. Downtime was simply unacceptable and would have severely
hurt production,” said Tolga Tarhan, CTO of Rackspace Technology.
“Our team knew just how to make this happen, delivering a
comprehensive cloud solution that will improve the customer’s
business in the short term, and provide a solid foundation for
their continued digital transformation down the line.”
Due to Google Cloud Platform’s tools and features, Mrs. T’s
leadership team now has access to real-time analytics, accelerating
forecasting and improving subsequent outcomes. Optimized trade
promotions provide more predictive business intelligence, and a new
disaster recovery program ensures Mrs. T’s a more dynamic, reliable
technology base.
“While this project started as a mandated technology project,
Rackspace’s work really opened up new doors for us to undergo a
massive digital transformation,” said Timothy Coyle, Director of
Information Systems & Technology at Mrs. T’s Pierogies. “Not
only did we migrate to Google Cloud seamlessly, but we were able to
retool IT infrastructure that is key to our core business success.
Rackspace Technology was a one-stop shop, a single pane of glass
that truly took our technology stack to the next level.”

About Mrs. T's PierogiesIn 1952, Ted
Twardzik Sr. dreamed of starting a food company inspired by
his mother's pierogy recipe. He remembered how popular the Polish
dumplings were at church festivals and thought people would be
excited to purchase them from their local grocery stores
year-round. Later that year, Ted sold the very first pierogy
samples to his local grocery store in Shenandoah, PA, and to
honor his mother Mary Twardzik – the Mrs. T –
he called his company Mrs. T's Pierogies. Now, 69 years later, Mrs.
T's Pierogies is the largest producer of frozen pierogies in the
United States, producing over 600 million pierogies a year.
