Case Study: Arvato Technical Systems achieves up to 93% faster analytics and lower licensing costs with IBM Hybrid Cloud (Db2 with BLU Acceleration)

Helping clients succeed with cutting-edge, cost-effective database services

Arvato Technical Systems, a global IT services provider, needed to deliver faster, more cost‑efficient database and analytics services for clients—particularly for SAP workloads—without raising prices. To address this, the company partnered with IBM and adopted IBM Db2 with BLU Acceleration (and Db2 pureScale as part of an IBM Hybrid Cloud approach) to modernize its database platform.

IBM implemented Db2 with BLU Acceleration and pureScale to boost performance, scalability and availability across on‑premises and hybrid‑cloud environments; the results were concrete—one customer’s query time dropped from 15 seconds to under 1 second (a 93% improvement), another query improved by 47%, and licensing costs remained low—helping Arvato Technical Systems’ clients gain faster insights and stronger competitiveness.
