Cloud Migration Exceeds BHS Corrugated Expectations

The  SAP landscape migration by BHS Corrugated's previous IT service provider to the Microsoft Azure Cloud did not produce the expected results. The renowned corrugated industry specialist decided to make a second attempt - this time with advice and support from the SAP and cloud specialists at Arvato Systems. The result was a successful and swift migration of BHS Corrugated's SAP systems to the new, in-house Azure tenant, including future-proof managed services from Arvato Systems.

By migrating BHS Corrugated's SAP systems to its own Microsoft Azure tenant, the Arvato Systems team could eliminate the previous availability problems: Arvato Systems supports BHS Corrugated in a competent, uncomplicated, and responsive manner. The internationally operating machine and plant manufacturer sees the flexibility of Arvato Systems as a particular advantage: As an experienced and neutral multi-cloud provider, Arvato Systems not only has the know-how to always find the best and most cost-effective cloud solution for each customer - Arvato Systems also has the necessary application knowledge, in this case in the form of proven SAP experts. Arvato Systems' managed services also ensure smooth cloud operations and pave the way for BHS Corrugated to further develop its cloud use in a future-proof manner.

The Arvato Systems team completed the SAP migration for BHS Corrugated with record-breaking speed and optimum quality. 

This is also because Arvato Systems put together the right support package: "Arvato Systems didn't just offer a standard package, but impressed us with its flexibility. They provided us with exactly the individual support and speed of response we wanted," emphasizes Angelika Prem. The following cloud projects are already in the pipeline, such as the connection of a new subsidiary of BHS Corrugated in China. "Arvato Systems is already providing technical assessments during the preliminary project planning phase and making sensible suggestions that help us with decision-making and budget planning. This support from a service provider who consistently thinks outside the box is precious to us."
