The client is one of the leading producers of condiments and sauces in the United States, with a history of over 215 years.
The client requested the migration of all SAP Landscapes from NTT Lundy datacenters to the Azure public cloud to address various challenges, including:
The total cost of ownership: The current data center hosting services is nearing sunset, leading to high costs. Migrating to Azure will provide a more cost-effective solution.
Limited access to advanced tools and integrations: The traditional infrastructure in the data center prohibits the client’s ability to utilize modern tools and integrations. Moving to Azure will unlock access to a wide array of capabilities.
Non-scalable operations and high maintenance costs: The existing infrastructure lacks scalability and incurs significant maintenance expenses. Azure’s cloud platform enables flexible and scalable operations, reducing both demand-related issues and maintenance costs.
Delayed resource deployment and manual errors: The manual processes in the current setup often cause delays in resource deployment, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors.
Scalability and resiliency: In contrast to the underlying platform, Azure offers a highly scalable and resilient platform, ensuring the client’s SAP landscapes can handle varying workloads and maintain high availability.
Security and governance: The client aimed to address security risks and strengthen their governance posture to safeguard their data and infrastructure.
Following a comprehensive analysis of the client’s ecosystem, requirements, and the current SAP environment, Brillio designed an end-to-end implementation and architecture roadmap to assist and address all the challenges and provide the confidence to migrate to Azure.
Established the Azure Cloud foundation in a scalable and automated manner, utilizing the efficient capabilities of the underlying Azure platform.
Executed the migration of SAP systems (both Windows and Linux OS) to Azure with minimal business disruption and shorter migration durations for the entire process.
Expedited the migration process by leveraging our proprietary Cloud Implementation Platform (brillioOne.ai) and pre-built automation scripts, resulting in accelerated overall migration timelines.
Provided hypercare support to ensure smooth operations and increased productivity, improving operational maturity during and after the migration.
Achieved an improved governance posture through the utilization of executive dashboards and security automation.
Implemented Granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), aligning resource access and permissions according to the Cloud Adoption Framework.
Designed the infrastructure to be resilient, meeting stringent Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) requirements.
Our efforts resulted in a successful migration to Azure. By migrating SAP Landscapes to Azure, the client benefited from a more cost-effective, flexible, scalable, secure, and advanced cloud environment.
Following our implementation, the client managed to achieve:
Platform: By migrating to Azure, the client eliminated the need for hardware procurement, platform management, and recycling overhead, resulting in a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Scalability: The Azure platform provided flexible options for horizontal and vertical scaling to support increasing volumes of both SAP and non-SAP workloads and ensure seamless service availability for end users.
Innovation: Leveraging AI, Predictive Analytics, Machine Learning (ML), IoT, and blockchain, the client was able to drive digital transformation and integrate advanced technologies into their operations.
Security: We have implemented automated security guardrails and dashboards, improving the client’s adherence to industry-standard security best practices and reducing vulnerabilities.
Agility: With the new automated deployment processes, the client experienced faster time-to-market, reduced manpower requirements, and decreased manual errors, allowing for more agile operations.
Optimization: The client achieved efficient cost and performance optimization with the built-in scalability and resiliency features.
Governance: The stringent RBAC enabled well-defined access policies at each resource level.
Availability: The client experienced prolonged Service Level Agreements (SLAs) compared to traditional methods, resulting in elevated application availability and improved service reliability.
Migration: The effective migration approach allowed the customer to transition all upstream environments to the cloud within a remarkable 45-day timeframe.
