Case Study: a leading South African financial services organization modernizes SAP on Microsoft Azure with EPI-USE Labs

SAP transformation to Microsoft Azure for leading financial services organization

EPI-USE Labs assisted a leading financial services organization, a major South African bank with operations in 32 countries, to modernize its SAP HCM business. The bank's challenges included migrating its complex landscape to Microsoft Azure, a new and unfamiliar hyperscaler, while ensuring accurate right-sizing, strict security governance, and cost optimization without compromising data integrity.

The solution from EPI-USE Labs involved an accelerated SAP migration to Azure, which included upgrading the SAP ECC system and performing a Unicode conversion. Their experts designed a new Azure landing zone from the ground up and successfully re-platformed 120 servers. The project, delivered on time and within budget, resulted in an improved user experience, a reduced runtime footprint, and an excellent return on investment. EPI-USE Labs also provides ongoing Managed Services for the entire landscape, supporting the bank's continued transformation.
