5 A guide to modernizing with SAP ECC-based systems on AWS Del Monte Foods, Inc. is one of North America's largest producers and distributors of fresh and packaged foods. The company looked to AWS to cut costs and improve agility. At the same time, they hoped the cloud would help them achieve growth goals and keep up with rapidly changing customer expectations. The Challenge Prior to migration, Del Monte was operating a legacy IT environment consisting of over 200 servers, 50 of which represented their SAP landscape. Their SAP ECC systems were not only expensive to maintain, but increasingly unstable. Del Monte recognized they needed to move their SAP ECC environment to AWS, and looked to migrate as quickly as possible, due to the fast-paced nature of their business. The Solution Del Monte opted to lift-and-shift their SAP ECC environment to the cloud along with the 25TB of associated data. Taking this approach allowed the company to optimize for speed and minimize disruptions to their existing operations. Once running on AWS, Del Monte right-sized their SAP environment, reducing costs and retiring technical debt that had created instability in their on-premises environment. This lift-and-shift migration has kick started Del Monte's SAP modernization and now they are focused on innovating around core business processes. Results • Migrated 200 servers, including 50 for SAP, in less than 4 months • Reduced SAP costs by 35% • Reduced compute provisioning time from weeks to less than 60 minutes Customer success story: Del Monte Foods, Inc "We can now deploy resources to work on the most important things, which is developing new products for our customers." – Chad Anderson, CIO, Del Monte Foods Lifting-and-shifting SAP ECC to AWS
