Case Study: Isuzu Hicom achieves 50–60% faster ERP and 30–35% lower operational costs with Nutanix

Isuzu Hicom drives towards Industry 4.0 with Nutanix

Isuzu Hicom, a commercial vehicle manufacturer and joint venture of Isuzu Motors and Hicom Holdings, struggled with a legacy three‑tier infrastructure that caused slow ERP reporting (often overnight), frequent downtime, high operational costs, and a backup RPO of four hours. The company needed a more reliable, visible, and cost‑effective platform to support Industry 4.0 and a future hybrid cloud strategy.

Isuzu Hicom deployed the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform—including Acropolis/AHV, Prism Pro and Flow—building a multi‑node HCI cluster and migrating ~90% of applications (ERP, PMS, SQL databases, email). The result: ERP performance improved 50–60% with reports in about 15 minutes, application downtime was eliminated, RPO fell to 15 minutes, operational costs dropped 30–35%, and the company gained the visibility and stability to pursue hybrid/multi‑cloud initiatives.
