Project Overview

Background Situation

AirPlus was in a major transformation project to implement a global cloud strategy. The aim was to use the entire application landscape – 170 applications from areas such as business, finance, CRM and ERP – using technologies such as Big Data in the Microsoft Azure Cloud. A decisive milestone in the implementation of this ambitious transformation project was a global SAP implementation project. Arvato Systems completed the implementation within just eleven working days, ensuring compliance with the entire project planning.

Vision

AirPlus wanted to be able to act faster, more agile and more flexible in a rapid market environment. The solution was expected to reduce IT costs, optimize internal processes and enable future-oriented and flexible action.

Solution

Thanks to good teamwork and the specialists of Arvato Systems, the project was completed in a very short time. After just four days, the entire infrastructure including networks, virtual machines and database-as-a-service, was up and running. Within only eleven working days, 31 servers and eleven fully configured SAP systems equipped with backup data were set up. This ensured the timely start of the global SAP implementation project.
