In this short video case stud Brendan O’Neill, Director of IT Services for SEACO Global explain why the organisation decided to migrate their SAP system to the Cloud.

The aging IT infrastructure needed to be replaced.

After evaluating a few options, the organisation decided to move the SAP system to the AWS Cloud.
