Case Study: Capgemini achieves improved SLAs and reduced ERP hosting costs with VMware vSphere

VMware Cloud Platform Enables Capgemini to Improve SLAs, Reduce Costs for ERP Hosting

Capgemini, a global leader in consulting, technology and outsourcing, faced a common client need: deliver the cost efficiencies of cloud-based SAP hosting while also meeting the strict SLAs required for mission‑critical ERP systems. To protect its reputation as a trusted ERP managed‑services provider, Capgemini conducted a year‑long evaluation of virtualization platforms to find a solution that balanced cost, reliability and SAP certification.

Capgemini built a cloud‑based managed‑services platform on VMware vSphere, enabling lower capital costs, faster provisioning, scalability and simpler disaster recovery. The move cut customers’ ERP capitalization costs (payback in as little as three years), raised availability from 99.5% to 99.8% without added cost, and has driven growing demand for Capgemini’s expanded managed‑services offerings.
