Case Study: The Mosaic Company boosts SAP performance and agility with Microsoft Azure and Capgemini

Mosaic uses Microsoft Azure to help the world grow the food it needs

The Mosaic Company, a major producer of crop nutrients, faced challenges with its critical SAP system, which was central to its global financial and supply-chain operations. The company sought to lower costs, increase agility, improve scalability, and achieve higher availability. Partnering with vendor Capgemini, Mosaic chose to migrate its entire SAP and Line of Business application landscape to the Microsoft Azure cloud platform to address these needs.

Capgemini managed the design, implementation, and migration to Azure, which involved moving the SAP environment to a new database and implementing a highly available architecture. The solution resulted in a 20-30% performance increase for some SAP features and provided significant agility, allowing Mosaic to spin up new compute resources in hours instead of weeks. The migration, which had minimal impact on end-users, is projected to deliver an approximate 20% year-over-year cost savings for Mosaic.
