Case Study: GDM Seeds achieves scalable international growth, faster development and 60% cost savings with Microsoft Azure

Platform in the cloud supports international growth of plant breeding company

GDM Seeds, an Argentina-based plant-breeding company with more than 35 years’ experience and operations across South America and the United States, needed a scalable, secure platform to support its global expansion and mission-critical SAP environment. The company faced a fragmented on-premises setup—multiple regional servers and a local datacenter provider—which slowed project development, complicated backups and constrained international growth.

GDM migrated its SAP estate and supporting systems to Microsoft Azure, consolidating BI, a data warehouse, development environments, backups, VMs and business apps on a single cloud platform. The move cut infrastructure provisioning from weeks to minutes, made failover nearly immediate, reduced costs by about 60% versus the previous provider, and delivered the flexibility, security and predictable budgeting needed to accelerate projects and support further international expansion.
