Case Study: Fresh achieves greater uptime and 80% lower licensing costs with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications

Fresh - Customer Case Study

Fresh, a leading Egyptian home appliances manufacturer, used SAP ERP for years but faced problems with its existing IBM AIX environment, including poor cloud compatibility, platform lock-in, and disruptive downtime for updates. To modernize its operations, Fresh turned to Suse and its SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications.

Suse implemented a solution with live patching and strong SAP compatibility, allowing Fresh to keep systems running while applying updates. The result was a dramatic increase in uptime, 24/7 customer support continuity, 75% faster regulatory reporting, and an estimated 80% reduction in software licensing costs.
