Global industrial thread company COATS is over 260 plus years old having around 20K employees worldwide. To make ordering easier for their customers and product deliveries faster, they needed an IT infrastructure with enhanced operational performance. COATS, hence, needed to move 90% of their datacenters and production database to a better performing SAP database management platform.
They had found no restrictions or negative impacts when using open-source software with Azure earlier. So Brillio, in partnership with Microsoft, helped the company shift the entire database from Oracle to SAP HANA on Azure.
COATS acknowledges that customers today are in need for more than just great products. They need super-efficient order processing solutions in an environment that helps them stay competitive, regardless of their industry. This required COATS to updates the way they operate.
For years, COATS had been using an Oracle database with its SAP applications. Since they were dealing with multiple customers across the globe, they had to develop many datacenters. They wanted to find a way to connect their offices and datacenters to speed-up their operations and deliveries. But, COATS’ existing database in a complex Oracle environment had become their major deterrent.
In order to help COATS move its convoluted Oracle environment to SAP HANA on Azure, Brillio configured their SAP HANA estate on Azure. Coats had more than 300 servers running multiple operating systems, and its Oracle database was more than 40 terabytes
Brillio suggested that the SAP deployment should take place in phases. This was result of a holistic bimodal assessment using the Brillio CLIP platform which took into account both the SAP suite and the underlying infrastructure.
For ongoing management of COATS’ Azure environment, Brillio continues to use CLIP.
