This leading Saudi conglomerate operates across diverse sectors, including distribution, F&B, media, and technology. With multiple subsidiaries and operations spanning 100+ locations, the group has a significant presence in the region. Facing legacy IT challenges, they sought Cloud4C's expertise to modernize their critical SAP infrastructure.
The conglomerate struggled with an outdated HP-UX platform for their SAP systems, facing high maintenance costs and limited scalability. Their on-premises setup did not offer proper data center facilities, leading to disturbed operations and scaling issues. They also looked into implementing 24/7 managed services, strengthening their disaster recovery strategy, and boosting connectivity to ensure higher uptime. With operations across multiple locations, ensuring seamless connectivity also became increasingly challenging.
Cloud4C orchestrated a comprehensive multi-cloud transformation. This included a complex migration from HP-UX to x86 architecture on Cloud4C's SAP Community Cloud, implementation of a robust disaster recovery setup on Azure, and maintenance of specific systems on Oracle Cloud. Cloud4C deployed 24/7 managed services, enhanced multi-location connectivity, and transitioned the group to fixed monthly billing model. This tailored multi-cloud approach leveraged Cloud4C's expertise in complex migrations and managed services to create a resilient, scalable, and efficient IT infrastructure.
