Case Study: PROMOS achieves 80% fewer servers and 25% faster SAP application response with IBM Power Systems and IBM Storage

Innovative digital and mobile services help property managers through turbulent times

PROMOS, a Berlin‑based IT consulting and solutions provider for the real estate industry, faced tighter building regulations, new housing policies and economic uncertainty that strained clients’ profitability and exposed limitations in PROMOS’ 28‑system IT landscape. To boost agility, support SAP S/4HANA and its easysquare mobile platform, and simplify operations, PROMOS turned to IBM and its ecosystem for a modern, scalable private‑cloud foundation.

IBM delivered a consolidated infrastructure built on IBM Power System E980/E950 servers, IBM PowerVM, IBM Storage (including FlashSystem and Spectrum Virtualize) to host SAP S/4HANA and easysquare, cutting 28 servers down to four and enabling Capacity on Demand. The IBM solution produced measurable impact: an 80% reduction in servers, 25% faster business application response at peak, 50% better database and analytics performance, improved productivity for 3,500 SAP users and fast digital services for 70,000 app users—driving cost‑efficiency, faster decision‑making and stronger business continuity.
