Case Study: The Mosaic Company improves SAP performance and agility with Microsoft Azure

Mosaic uses Microsoft Azure to help the world grow the food it needs

The Mosaic Company, a major producer of phosphate and potash crop nutrients, faced the challenge of improving its critical global SAP systems to lower costs, increase agility, improve scalability, and achieve higher availability. To address these needs, the company chose to migrate its operations to the Microsoft Azure cloud platform.

Microsoft Azure, with implementation partner Capgemini, successfully migrated Mosaic's SAP and Line of Business applications to a highly available cloud infrastructure. The solution resulted in a 20-30% performance increase for some SAP features, the ability to spin up new compute resources in hours instead of weeks, and an estimated annual cost saving of 20%. Microsoft Azure enabled Mosaic to shift its IT focus from managing hardware to leveraging cloud services to create more value.
