Case Study: International Retail Store Chain achieves 50% faster SAP performance with SoftwareONE's Azure SAP Managed Services

SoftwareOne delivers a flexible SAP Platform Managed Service to support a 24/7 retailer

International Retail Store Chain, a global convenience store operator, needed to modernize its SAP environment while overcoming data center infrastructure limits, weak disaster recovery testing, and the need for a more flexible support model. SoftwareONE was brought in to help move the company’s SAP platform to Microsoft Azure and support its shift to SAP HANA and cloud-based operations.

SoftwareONE planned and managed the full migration to Azure over eight months, including replatforming the database and deploying SAP Platform Managed Services with monitorSimple©. The result was fully automated HA/DR capabilities, twice-yearly DR testing in the first year, and about a 50% performance improvement for long-running SAP processes, while also enabling pay-as-you-go service consumption with greater cost transparency.
