Case Study: SAP on cloud
We helped one of the world's largest shipping companies increase the future load-capacity of their mission-critical SAP CRM, at significantly lower costs.
About the client
The client is one of the world’s top three shipping companies with a revenue of over $20 billion and a market share of nearly 12%. It owns hundreds of container vessels and operates in 70+ countries. In 2016, it was acquired by another shipping giant with a much larger scale of operations.
Business challenges
- Post the acquisition, the client needed operational alignment across the new entity, which was bigger and catered to a larger audience.
- The SAP CRM, the foundation of all customer support functions across countries, was hosted on premises on AIX, resulting in a high CapEx.
- The client wanted to scale this CRM in response to the newly created market opportunity. To fuel growth, they needed three times their existing load capacity.
Solution
An on-premise implementation of the CRM meant a significant upfront cost, high ongoing management costs, and long-drawn processes for enabling further scale. The client decided to adopt cloud technologies for their application management needs, albeit cautiously.
As an born-in-cloud digital transformation company with deep SAP expertise and close relationships with cloud providers, 1CloudHub was well-positioned to help them take the right steps in this direction.
