Case Study: Standard Media Group achieves lower-cost, more secure SAP ERP operations with SUSE

Standard Media Group - Customer Case Study

Standard Media Group, a Nairobi-based media company, needed a more integrated way to run its business after relying on multiple in-house and third-party systems that made it hard to get a single view of operations. The company turned to Suse for SAP ERP support, using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications and SUSE Manager to replace its fragmented, Windows-based environment.

Suse implemented a fully virtualized SAP ERP platform with built-in high availability, stronger security, and centralized patch management. The result was a lower-cost and more resilient system that supports unlimited virtual machines at no extra cost, improves information security, and cut patching time by 80 percent for Standard Media Group.
