Edwards drives growth, cuts costs and boosts computing power by 70 percent with SAP and IBM

Edwards, a manufacturer of vacuum technologies, needed a scalable SAP hosting solution from a provider with a global presence to support its business growth. They partnered with vendor IBM to find a flexible infrastructure that could accommodate their expanding operations and rapid provisioning needs.

IBM implemented IBM Cloud Managed Services for SAP Applications, creating a hosting infrastructure with 25 virtual machines and robust disaster recovery. This solution from IBM provided Edwards with 70 percent more computing power at a lower total cost. It also delivered significant efficiency gains, including 50 percent faster CRM processes and 40 percent faster run times for planning tools.
