Islet’s long-term cus­tomer Lumene has oper­at­ed SAP ERP sys­tem exten­sive­ly since 2004 and Islet has been Lumene’s SAP Main­te­nance Part­ner since 2011. Dur­ing 2020, Lumene migrat­ed their SAP ERP sys­tem to Microsoft’s Azure cloud plat­form in a suc­cess­ful agile project that was com­plet­ed in just four months.

SAP’s ERP solu­tion is wide­ly used at Lumene to oper­ate the entire company’s core func­tions. The sys­tem has been con­tin­u­ous­ly devel­oped with Islet to meet the chang­ing busi­ness needs such as cov­er­ing dif­fer­ent process­es, new busi­ness arrange­ments, and uni­fy­ing infor­ma­tion. In addi­tion, sev­er­al oth­er sys­tems have been merged to the heart of ERP through inte­gra­tions over the years. The glob­al solu­tion, as well as reli­ably and flex­i­bly orga­nized main­te­nance and small-scale devel­op­ment are all sup­port­ing Lumene’s inter­na­tion­al growth plan.

Through this long-term part­ner­ship, Lumene has gained sig­nif­i­cant ben­e­fits: flex­i­bil­i­ty, cost-effec­tive­ness and cus­tomer-ori­ent­ed ser­vice. With strong exper­tise, Islet focus­es on meet­ing Lumene’s needs in a cus­tomer-ori­ent­ed way, which is at the core of the service.

One of the recent projects was to migrate Lumene’s SAP sys­tem to Microsoft Azure platform.

By migrat­ing to SAP Azure cloud ser­vice, we achieved clear cost sav­ings and brought our two key tech­nol­o­gy ecosys­tems clos­er togeth­er aim­ing for syn­er­gic, long-term ben­e­fits. In addi­tion, this was the first step in prepar­ing for our S/4HANA tran­si­tion. The project with Islet was suc­cess­ful and com­plet­ed with­in the agreed bud­get and sched­ule. Islet is a reli­able and flex­i­ble, high-qual­i­ty partner.

For sev­er­al years, Islet has invest­ed heav­i­ly in cloud com­put­ing ser­vices, which are cost-effec­tive options for many cus­tomers. How­ev­er, the main moti­va­tors for migrat­ing to the cloud are usu­al­ly the avail­able infor­ma­tion, the improve­ment of ser­vice qual­i­ty and the deep­er uti­liza­tion of tech­no­log­i­cal ecosys­tems togeth­er. Cloud also enables scal­a­bil­i­ty, flex­i­ble exper­i­ment­ing, and a glob­al dimen­sion that are high­ly rel­e­vant to every orga­ni­za­tion dur­ing these times of change and remote work.

Migrat­ing SAP to Azure cloud sur­pris­es many with its agili­ty. Lumene is a long-term cus­tomer, and we exe­cut­ed the project in close coop­er­a­tion with­in four months. Migrat­ing to the cloud will be inevitable in the future – most com­pa­nies have either already tak­en their SAP plat­form to the cloud or are plan­ning it. We are hap­py to share our expe­ri­ences on smooth projects and help you find the right path to cloud tran­si­tion and S/4HANA.
