Digitally transforming business with SAP HANA on Azure
Daimler AG is digitally transforming its business, from vehicle design to core business systems, using the cloud. In a milestone project, Daimler replaced its companywide procurement system—used to manage 400,000 global suppliers—with a software as a service system running in Microsoft Azure. The new system, which involves the SAP S/4HANA database, SAP Supplier Relationship Management on HANA, and the Icertis Contract Management platform, was operational in just three months, can be updated daily, and costs 50 percent less than the previous system.
