Case Study: Pactiv-Evergreen achieves a successful SAP migration to Azure with Lemongrass

Pactiv Evergreen Reaches Digital Transformation Milestone with SAP on Azure Transformation

Pactiv Evergreen, a leading manufacturer and distributor of fresh food and beverage packaging, faced the complex challenge of migrating its vast and varied 14-system SAP landscape to Microsoft Azure within an extremely tight 24-hour downtime window. Their legacy infrastructure utilized multiple operating systems and database types, which needed to be standardized. To execute this critical digital transformation, they engaged the expertise of vendor Lemongrass (and its acquired entity, Wharfedale Technologies) for the SAP on Azure migration.

Lemongrass applied its proven migration tools and a near-zero-downtime approach, including extensive pre-migration testing, bandwidth optimization, and code remediation. This meticulous planning allowed the team to successfully complete the production migration of all business-critical systems within the mandated window and with zero defects. The results for Pactiv Evergreen included a 30% average improvement in SAP system performance, reduced operational costs through infrastructure right-sizing, and enhanced business continuity with Azure’s 99.9% uptime guarantee.
