Case Study: Coop Achieves Real-Time Hybrid IT Automation with Stonebranch

Achieving Real-Time Automation Across On-Premises and Cloud Environments

Coop, Denmark’s largest grocery company, needed a way to manage a rapidly growing hybrid IT environment spanning mainframe, distributed systems, and cloud services like Microsoft Azure. As its daily workload volume climbed toward the hundreds of thousands, its existing BMC Control-M platform struggled with integration, transparency, and support for the diverse workloads, including SAP.

Stonebranch implemented the Universal Automation Center (UAC), including Universal Controller, Universal Agent, Universal Data Mover, and the Universal Connector for SAP. Stonebranch got Coop up and running in just two weeks, cut implementation costs by $60,000, reduced conversion time by 50%, and saved $44,000 in training costs; Coop also reports 20% faster workflows, 25% lower production backlog, and more than $275,000 a year saved in audit preparation.
