Successful 2-In-1 Migration of 40 Systems to one SAP Cloud Platform
Arvato
Secure and Future-Proof on an SAP Cloud Platform
As part of its future-oriented IT strategy, Arvato relies on secure and state-of-the-art technologies to serve its customers' needs and play a central role in the global logistics market as a driver of innovation. In doing so, the service provider in supply chain management uses SAP and Microsoft technologies in particular.
As part of the project, a broad-based team of IT and industry experts migrated the 40 existing SAP systems from SAP R/3 Oracle OnPremsie to SAP S/4HANA and moved them to the Azure Cloud in parallel with the respective migration. Two large projects, usually carried out one after the other, were successfully implemented here simultaneously within two and a half years.
Despite the significant impact on day-to-day business, processes at Arvato continued to run undisturbed during the migration. This smooth and fast course of the complex conversion also impressed many of the service provider's customers using SAP R/3 Oracle OnPremise.
