    The challenge

    In order to meet the enormously high security standards of the industry as a service provider in global travel management, it was essential for BCD Travel to completely renew its entire IT landscape. In the first step, the entire SAP landscape - ERP and BW - was transferred to the Scheer GmbH data center. Then the changeover to SAP S/4HANA took place, followed by the migration to Microsoft Azure.

    The solution

    In SAP S/4HANA, BCD Travel has chosen the quintessential real-time ERP software suite for the digital economy. The solution is based on the SAP HANA platform and enables unprecedented improvements. The combination of state-of-the-art in-memory technology and a radically simplified data model makes it possible to obtain information in a matter of seconds and make decisions just as quickly. The migration to SAP S/4HANA was accompanied by updates to operating systems and databases.

    The result

    • Reduced costs through SAP hosting
    • Reliably high system performance in a Scheer GmbH data center in Germany
    • Fulfillment of the travel sector's high security requirements (as confirmed by an IT audit)

    We're happy to have found a strategic partner for our digital transformation process in Scheer GmbH with its proven expertise in SAP HANA. As a travel management company, we have very stringent security requirements, and Scheer GmbH has been able to meet them.

    - Cees Batenburg, Global Chief Financial Officer, BCD Travel
