Case Study: dm-drogerie markt achieves faster SAP performance and a smoother migration with Suse

dm-drogerie markt - Customer Case Study

dm-drogerie markt, the German retail chain with more than 3,000 stores, needed to improve agility, customer service, and inventory management while keeping pace in a highly competitive market. To support this, the company worked with Suse and used SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications, SUSE Consulting, and SUSE Manager to modernize its SAP environment and ensure customers could find products in store and online.

Suse helped dm-drogerie markt migrate its SAP ERP applications from IBM z/OS and AIX to a Linux-based x86 and VMware infrastructure, with hands-on consulting and training throughout the project. The migration finished three months ahead of schedule, cut SAP response times by 40% on average, improved report processing from 3.5 hours to under an hour in some cases, and enabled SAP support packages to be deployed about 30% faster.
