This brought about a need for technology transformation in their IT landscape. With HCLTech intensive experience of architecting SAP solutions for other customers and extensive capabilities in SAP BASIS and Azure, HCLTech helped the customer move away from proprietary to commodity hardware and operating systems (AIX/POWER to SLES/Intel) giving way to an OPEX model, thereby saving a lot of capex required for a hardware refresh. HCLTech helped the customer reduce infrastructure spend, enhance on demand capability, and right size and optimize their SAP landscape.
