Case Study: ADVEO cuts datacenter costs and speeds supply chain testing with Microsoft Azure

Office supplier moves SAP Hybris to Azure, expects 50 percent lower datacenter costs

ADVEO, a medium-sized wholesale office-supply distributor in Spain, faced challenges with manual processes and a slow IT testing cycle in its supply chain. To support its digital transformation and compete with new market entrants like Amazon, the company partnered with Microsoft. ADVEO sought to migrate its SAP Hybris Commerce platform to the cloud to gain agility and real-time insights.

By migrating its solution to Microsoft Azure, ADVEO automated its supply chain and streamlined operations. This move provided resellers with e-commerce capabilities and gave the company the ability to test system changes in minutes instead of weeks. Microsoft's solution is expected to reduce ADVEO's datacenter costs by 50 percent and has already helped double the percentage of reseller orders coming through e-commerce channels.
