Case

Successful SAP migration to Google Cloud Platform

Client: EVBox Group – a company that provides electric vehicle charging solutions

Challenge

The client was determined to get their SAP landscape migrated to GCP – as fast as possible. They were told by other implementation partners that it was impossible. EVBox needed a partner with the right skills, mindset and knowledge within SAP and transitions to cloud to help them realize their vision. Put shortly; EVBox needed an agile cloud and SAP partner that was willing to go all-in on the very short timelines.

5The need for a faster migration
5A wish for a more agile solution
5Missing a partner that could realize their vision

Solution

The solution was found in a smooth and efficient collaboration between Sapbasis, Nordcloud and the customer. Evbox was at present implementing SAP in a different cloud so with respect with the project timelines Sapbasis implemented the new foundation in GCP and transitioned SAP with a very creative and agile approach.

Sapbasis’ and Nordcloud’s multi-cloud expertise allowed creative solutions – for example, Sapbasis looked beyond the complexities and secured closing down several other hosting environments for the customer.

In less than 3 months Sapbasis and Nordcloud transitioned a complex SAP landscape to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The solution was based on a smooth and efficient collaboration between Sapbasis, Nordcloud and the customer, EVBox.

Results

A fast migration

EVBox had an ambitious timeline for migrating SAP to GCP. The migration was completed within 2,5 months – within budget.

An overview and simplification

Sapbasis helped close down several other hosting environments, resulting a more simplified overview and more control.

A solid foundation

The customer was ensured a SAP platform that was integrated with vendors and customers – and is now secured a solid foundation for future activities.

I always say this to partners, but they rarely do it. I say:
“Tell me I’m wrong, because I want to know how we can improve.” Everyone at Nordcloud and Sapbasis did this. Not only did their willingness to challenge and ask hard questions help us avoid major pitfalls, but it saved us money, too.

The challenge

Common to the three customers was that they all wanted to free themselves from their resource-intensive server operation, managed by an external hosting provider. They wanted to reduce costs and achieve a more scalable solution that would both in the short and long term help optimize the business.

5Resource-intensive hosting operation
5 IT infrastructure was located at a external hosting provider
5A need for a more scalable solution

The solution

Sapbasis analyzed the individual company’s needs and SAP architecture, which created a basis for mapping the existing landscape as well as the cloud infrastructure in relation to the chosen supplier. Thus, the analysis also produced the method of migration and the consequences and opportunities that the new solution would entail for the customer.

SAPBASIS migrated SAP to resp. Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and Amazon Cloud for 3 different companies.

The result

Freedom and flexibility

Migration to the cloud ensured freedom and flexibility through multi hosting and selection of best-of-breed providers for the individual, specific task.

Agility and data release

A cloud-based solution made it possible to release data to be able to create smarter solutions for the future, e.g. through insourcing of operations.

With the expertise of Sapbasis and Trifork, we were able to tailor our own solution. They helped us move complex architecture to a cost-effective and flexible cloud host. Thus, our internal operational team gained first-hand experience of working in the cloud – all while the solution was implemented on time and remotely!

Case

Succesful SAP migrering til Google Cloud

Client: Leading Jutland retailer

← Previus case Next case →

The challenge

The problem was the fact that the infrastructure and SAP data was located at a foreign service provider, which made it complicated to implement ongoing changes. The customer also wanted to reduce IT costs and be able to independently operate and handle ongoing operations.

5The client wanted to reduce IT costs
5The client wanted to be able to operate and handle ongoing operations
5The IT Infrastructure was located at a foreign service providor

The solution

Through analysis of the customer’s needs and SAP architecture, the existing landscape was mapped, and Sapbasis thus had the best basis for being able to help the customer migrating away from their existing platform – and with the right method optimize the field of tension between customer and supplier. Thus, Sapbasis also ensured that the customer’s operational team could operate the cloud platform smoothly and efficiently going forward.

SAPBASIS ensured successful SAP migration to Google Cloud for one of Denmark’s leading retailers. A close collaboration with the customer’s internal operational team and ongoing tailor-made workshops resulted in a smooth transition.

The result

An agile and fair solution

Sapbasis’ technical know-how ensured the customer the best basis for being able to maintain data themselves in the future – easily, quickly and predictably.

Modern and streamlined IT architecture

Migrating SAP to Google Cloud resulted in a more modern and streamlined solution that could ensure structured and secure operation in the future.

Lower costs

Migrating to a cloud solution reduced hosting costs because the new solution was cheaper and ensures that the customer only pays for what they use.

The challenge

The customer was challenged because their IT infrastructure was in the hands of an external hosting provider, which narrowed the complete overview of the operation. In addition, their platform was outdated and resource-intensive, and they missed both professional advice and attention from their providor.

5The IT infrastructure was in the hands of an external hosting providor
5Outdated and resource-intensive platform

The solution

SAP Basis analysed the clients needs and their SAP architecture, which created the basis for mapping the existing landscape and the cloud infrastructure regarding Microsoft Azure. The analysis brought forth the method for the migration including both the consequences and the possibilities that the new solution would provide for the customer.

Both on time and on budget within three months we managed to finish and optimize a succesful SAP migration to the cloud solution Microsoft Azure for a danish lightning company.

The result

An agile and fair solution

The migration ensured autonomy in the form of insourcing of operations. This created greater flexibility and control, as the customer now had the ongoing overview.

Better user experience and quicker response times

The customer was given the opportunity to choose the best-of-breed supplier for the individual, specific tasks. It resulted in better user experience and shorter response times.

Personal involvement and good service

The collaboration was characterized by a high degree of honesty and personal involvement. This resulted in good service and a general ‘value for money’.

For us, it was important to get more advice and a better service than the one we received in our previous setup. Therefore, our collaboration with SAP Basis included personal involvement, flexibility and attention. This resulted in a successful cloud migration to Microsoft Azure, which means that today we are ensured a more agile operation, which we can control to a much greater extent ourselves, which i.a. has led to a better user experience and shorter response times in the system.
