Case Study: Imperial Group South Africa achieves 40% faster SAP performance and 90% lower TCO with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications

Imperial Group South Africa - Customer Case Study

Imperial Group South Africa, through Imperial Health Sciences, needed to rationalize its SAP landscape after an acquisition while ensuring seamless integration, minimal downtime, and tight control of operating costs. The company also had to support mission-critical healthcare logistics systems that demanded high performance and high availability, and it chose SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications from Suse to help meet those requirements.

Suse implemented SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications with SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension as a centralized, high-availability SAP platform. The migration was completed on time, within budget, and with virtually no disruption to end users; once in production, it delivered a 40% increase in SAP application performance and a 90% reduction in total cost of ownership, while improving business continuity for critical systems.
