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, and 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 For its SAP applications, ZEISS had opted for an on-premises setup—an outdated and less flexible solution that was difficult to operate and modernize.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ZEISS migrated to the Microsoft Cloud primarily due to the limitations of their on-premises setup, which was outdated and inflexible. This setup resulted in lengthy IT processes and made automation of recurring tasks nearly impossible. By moving to the cloud, ZEISS aimed to gain unlimited scalability, flexibility, and faster application development.
What benefits has ZEISS experienced after the migration?
After migrating to the Microsoft Cloud, ZEISS has experienced several benefits, including maximum flexibility in scaling resources, the ability to quickly set up test environments, and automated processes that speed up operations. For instance, they can provision additional computing power or storage in just a few hours, and they can also automate the shutdown of systems when they are no longer needed, which helps in managing costs.
How does the cloud improve system maintenance for ZEISS?
The Microsoft Cloud simplifies system maintenance for ZEISS by ensuring continuous updates without disrupting user experience. Users benefit from a single sign-on for all SAP modules, making access easier. Additionally, the cloud environment allows for streamlined operations, enabling quick implementation of new requirements without significant time or resource investment.
