Case Study: Hero MEA achieves greater efficiency and stability with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications

Hero MEA - Customer Case Study

Hero MEA, the regional manufacturing and distribution hub for Hero Group in the Middle East and Africa, needed a new operating system when the company decided to move all ERP functions to SAP ERP. The challenge was to standardize a virtualized environment across multiple departments while keeping future flexibility for SAP HANA and IBM Power Systems. Hero MEA chose SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications.

Suse implemented SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications across Hero MEA’s SAP ERP environment, supporting both VMware virtualization and future IBM Power Systems plans. The result was 100% uptime, about 25% time savings in administration and reporting, better hardware utilization, and a more stable, user-friendly platform that improved efficiency across the company.
