Case Study: EIS achieves 20% infrastructure cost savings and optimized SAP on AWS with Navisite

How EIS Reduced Costs by 20% and Optimized SAP in the Cloud

EIS, a Genuine Parts Company subsidiary that distributes over 100,000 products from 39 branches and six fabrication facilities across North America, faced scalability limits as its on‑premises AS/400 reached end‑of‑life. Rapid growth and a complex SAP ECC6 landscape made it hard to adopt newer SAP technologies or find skilled consultants, so EIS needed a more flexible, automated environment that would eliminate their data center and lower total cost of ownership.

EIS partnered with Navisite to migrate and manage its SAP landscape on AWS, completing planning through production in six months and continuing with ongoing optimization and support. The move delivered a 20% reduction in infrastructure costs, repurposed three full‑time employees, and cut a key billing/reporting job from 25 minutes to 1 minute (96% time savings), while improving scalability and the end‑user experience.
