Business problem• In working with SAP CRM, the

company found itself challenged by several of its information management practices.

• Customer data existed in silos. Sales reps accumulated business cards and created personal Outlook contacts, paper lists, personal databases, and spreadsheets.

• These practices made it impossible to access or use important information in any systematic way, and required sales personnel to “return to base” to maintain SAP CRM customer information.

Solution• A bidirectional interface synchronized

information between Omnicell’s SAP CRM system and SharePoint/Outlook, eliminating the need for duplicate entries.

• Sales and marketing employees could manage information through a significantly simplified user interface.

• Sales representatives could easily access customer information via laptops, smartphones, and other mobile devices, enabling them to spend more time in the field and in front of customers.

• Customer information could be easily created and updated offline and later synchronized with the SAP system when an employee connected with the Omnicellnetwork.

Benefits• The company now has a coherent

body of information that can be shared consistently across the enterprise.

• Customer knowledge is now an explicit Omnicell asset rather than in the heads of individual sales personnel.

• Business managers can keep in much closer touch with account status and the progress of sales campaigns. Sales and marketing employees now spend a good deal less time “tracking down” colleagues to get answers to simple questions.

• Omnicell realized the vision and maximized the value of their SAP CRM investment

Business problem

Needed to increase profits yet unable to determine profitability of complex engineer-to-order products with existing SAP Business Warehouse and analysis tools.

“Our analysts would spend a tremendous amount of time developing models and looking at SAP BW reports, just to get profitability data for one or two products,”

“Getting profitability data before was a difficult, time-consuming process that could only be done once a month,”

Solution

Albany employees use Microsoft BI and the Simplement DataLiberatorsolution to perform easy modeling of SAP Business Suite data in near real time, instead of the hours it took previously.

The company now has a complete view of profitability, which it never had before due to the complexity of the process.

Benefits

Analysts who use the manufacturing metrics dashboards can make faster, more-informed business decisions and create new strategies to boost profitability.

The company is also able to use its existing internal IT skills, because the new solution integrates seamlessly with the Albany Microsoft technology stack. “We have more people capable of working with data using Microsoft BI tools than we do people with SAP BW skills

“This tool exposes our SAP data in new and valuable ways, so we can understand the profitability impact for decisions on product

selection, manufacturing sites, and where our customers are located"

SAP and Microsoft have tested and certified Windows Azure infrastructure against the same standards as

those used for on-premises infrastructure. The table below shows a list of product certified today.

Coming Next:

• SAP on Suse Linux in Azure

• SAP Business Objects on Azure

• SAP HANA Enterprise Edition on Azure on large Azure VM (G-Series)

Business problem

Brillio's internal and external training programs and demos use SAP ERP 6.0 EHP7 with Oracle 11.2.0.3.

Accessing these internal training programs across different global locations posed hurdles in connectivity as their standalone SAP servers were unreachable and lacked Redundancy/Fault Tolerance.

Implementing SAP on-premisebrought additional challenges like delays, security, scalability and capacity planning.

Solution

To simplify the training and to overcome the challenges they faced with hosting SAP on-premise, Brillioevaluated cloud alternatives and decided to migrate its SAP workload to Microsoft Azure.

Benefits

Streamlined set-up of offsite training with instant server provisioning and global access to data.

Increase training capacity instantly with auto-scaling.

Reduced cost of hardware maintenance by parking, resuming and deleting virtual machines at any time without incurring costs.

“Microsoft has accelerated the ease of accessing Brillio’s training programs globally."

Business problem

The company needed to upgrade its mission-critical SAP environment and patch SAP workloads.

They also wanted a quick and cost-effective way to clone their SAP production system, apply SAP patches, and hand it over to business users for testing without affecting business.

Solution

The company hosted their SAP Business Suite pre-production systems on Windows Azure

Doing this allowed the company to shut down production clones and resume them at any time. They shut down virtual machines running on Windows Azure during non working hours

Benefits

The company saved up to 70% compared to traditional hosting models

“With Microsoft Azure, we just add capacity when we need it. Such flexibility and easy scalability are great for us, especially

because we have a very short window of time for upgrading our SAP systems."

Business problemLack of a disaster recovery (DR) or failover infrastructure for SAP for critical business application

Duplicating the production infrastructure in a second location would cost AUD$1.6 million (US$1.5 million) and require significant annual maintenance, it would also take months to set up this secondary co-location facility

SCT was implementing SAP on the SUSE Linux operating system using the SAP MaxDB database

SolutionSCT first migrated its SAP systems off of MaxDB and onto SQL Server 2012 using a virtualized infrastructure created with the Hyper-V technology in the Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system

It then replicated the virtual machines in that Hyper-V farm to Azure. It tool only a few weeks to move SAP to SQL Server 2012 and set up a disaster recovery environment in Azure.

Deploy and provision preconfigured SAP solutions within minutes in Azure using the SAP Cloud Appliance Library tool

Benefits15-minute Recovery Point Objective with a 2 hour Recovery Time Objective

Ability to fail over production SAP systems to Azure in minutes versus hours or days

Avoid $1.5 Million Co-location Investment, Months-Long Datacenter Setup in addition to the annual operating costs of AUD$300,000 (US$279,000) to maintain a second datacenter

ability to scale datacenter environment in minutes to match business needs

“Technology downtime means that we lose visibility into where our stock is. Azure gives us a rock-solid disaster recovery

environment. Thanks to Azure, the business always has its eyes open.”

Business problem

Need to have an adequate disaster recovery plan for their critical IT systems

IT systems were not flexible enough to accommodate ups and downs

Needed a datacenter strategy that would allow them to scale IT as the business climate demanded.”

Solution

Migrated from Oracle/Unix to SQL Server with commercial assistance of SAP, Microsoft and its specialist data platform and cloud partners

Selected Azure as their cloud provider with the support of NZ SI Datacom

Migrate first the SAP pre-production environment to Azure using approximately 100 Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines

Migrated production environments (on SQL Server 2012) to Azure with the support of Datacom, Microsoft and its specialist SAP partners

Benefits

Zespri will reduce its IT costs between $700,000 to $1 million

Focus on business instead of IT

The company is currently implementing a new SAP supply chain product and can quickly build Azure environments for that application in Microsoft datacenters around the globe

Zespri can also easily deploy local Azure server resources to run marketing and social media campaigns to 53 different countries

“Microsoft Azure possesses the power and flexibility to accommodate our needs for SAP performance. We are confident that our SAP

landscapes will run efficiently on the Azure platform, perform appropriately, and continue to deliver value to our business."
