Largest productive SAP migration to Amazon Web Service completes

LONDON, UK: UK SAP Service Partner Lemongrass Consulting Limited announces it has completed one of the world’s largest productive SAP migration to Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Seaco now runs its entire IT estate on the AWS cloud, thanks to the migration programme planned and executed by Lemongrass and the Seaco IT team.   The global SAP Landscape now within AWS includes: ERP, CRM, BW, Portal, BI, Gateway, Content Server and Solution Manager, and all management tools and applications previously hosted in a traditional Data Centre, were also migrated to cloud.

One of the core business drivers behind its move to AWS has been the proven ability to scale up capacity when required. Seaco’s critical billing run time was slashed by 75pc, significantly improving this business critical process while providing a solid platform for growth. The migration also helps Seaco to make significant annual cost savings.

Eamonn O’Neill, Director at Lemongrass, said: “At Lemongrass, we believe in using technology to bring real agility to SAP customers. We are always on the look out for abilities to help companies do what they need to do faster, quicker, better. With this migration, we have proved that the SAP on AWS offering is no longer in the future, but is something for now and open for all enterprises.”

Seaco Global CIO, Carlos Galiano, added: “At Seaco, we are constantly looking for innovative solutions to improve our operations and be responsive to our customers’ demands.  Moving our entire IT Landscape to the secure AWS cloud has significantly improved our ability to respond to business requirements.  Our performance of SAP on AWS is off the scale, we will be able to provision infrastructure for projects much more quickly and cheaply.  This is without question a very successful transition."
