Easy to maintain, quick to scale: ZEISS migrates SAP applications to the Microsoft Cloud
SAP applications, such as Treasury and Risk Management, SAP ERP, SAP BW, or SAP HCM, are the very core of a company. For its SAP applications, ZEISS had opted for an on-premises setup—an outdated and less flexible solution that was difficult to operate and modernize. This led to lengthy and slow processes in IT, and the automation of recurring processes seemed virtually impossible. Then, in 2017, the company made a decision: it would migrate business-critical SAP applications to the Microsoft Cloud with the help of Azure. ZEISS now benefits from unlimited scalability, flexibility, automation, and high speed in application development and use.
Why did ZEISS migrate to the Microsoft Cloud?
ZEISS migrated to the Microsoft Cloud to overcome the limitations of its outdated on-premises setup, which was inflexible and difficult to operate. The migration aimed to enhance scalability, flexibility, and automation, allowing for faster IT processes and easier modernization of business-critical SAP applications.
What benefits has ZEISS experienced after the migration?
Since migrating to the Microsoft Cloud, ZEISS has experienced unlimited scalability, improved flexibility, and faster application development. They can quickly provision additional computing power and storage, automate processes, and ensure continuous updates without disrupting user access, all of which contribute to more efficient operations.
How does the cloud migration impact IT processes?
The migration has streamlined IT processes by automating many activities, reducing the time needed to set up test environments from weeks to just a few hours. IT no longer needs to manage system lifecycles actively, as updates occur seamlessly in the cloud, allowing for a more efficient allocation of resources and quicker response to departmental needs.
