Case Study: Turners & Growers achieves lower SAP costs and better performance with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server from Suse

Turners & Growers - Customer Case Study

Turners & Growers, a New Zealand fresh produce wholesaler and exporter, needed to modernize its business-critical SAP environment, which was running on Windows with an Oracle database. The company wanted to cut rising SAP licensing costs, improve performance, and reduce the time its IT team spent on patching and system administration. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP was selected as the platform for the migration.

Suse helped Turners & Growers move its SAP applications to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server with IBM DB2 and complete a Unicode conversion. The new environment delivered around 15% better SAP application performance, cut SAP license fees significantly, reduced OS licensing costs by 60%, and lowered patching time by 60%, while improving availability and supporting virtualization-based scalability.
