Case Study: Lawter achieves seamless one-shot global cloud migration and infrastructure consolidation with NTT Communications

NTT Communications executes multi-vendor program to complete Lawter's one-shot move to cloud

Lawter Inc., a global chemical company specializing in pine-based products and SAP-driven ERP for 13 offices worldwide, needed to modernize and consolidate its distributed IT infrastructure into a single hosting location. The company required a high-risk, “big bang” transatlantic migration of large volumes of interdependent data and applications (including SAP, Active Directory and SharePoint), reliable connectivity for remote sites, and 24/7 support — all while coordinating multiple existing vendors.

NTT Communications delivered a multi-vendor program with a hybrid physical/virtual hosting solution (production in Amsterdam, DR in London), temporary high‑speed links, extensive pilot tests and contingency backups (including pre-shipped NAS). The one‑shot migration moved terabytes overnight without transactional loss, and Lawter now benefits from reduced latency, a scalable pay‑for‑use virtual environment, single‑contract management and a unified helpdesk for faster support and simpler operations.
