Case Study: PFC Brakes achieves scalable, reliable SAP on AWS and reduced TCO with Navisite

How PFC Brakes Regained Control of Its Future on AWS

PFC Brakes, a leading manufacturer of brakes and parts for motorsports, consumer vehicles, fleets and emergency vehicles, was running an aging SAP R/3 environment that suffered from decades of custom code, insecure middleware and frequent crashes that often required daily reboots. Those issues strained a small IT team, slowed business‑critical processes and made the necessary SAP upgrade and move to the cloud feel complex and out of reach.

PFC selected Navisite as its managed cloud services partner to perform an SAP S/4HANA Greenfield implementation on AWS, including a proof-of-concept integration with its manufacturing execution system; the full migration and conversion were completed in 11 months with no business disruption. The new solution delivered a scalable, resilient platform with improved performance, disaster recovery, and lower TCO and capital spending, while freeing IT to focus on product and process improvements.
