Global SAP services partner Infosys Limited has put its own money where its mouth is, going live on SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA.
With more than 150,000 users on the system, it is the world’s largest single instance of Suite on HANA. The system is deployed on a Hitachi Unified Compute platform for SAP HANA.
Infosys hopes to accelerate its financial closing processes, move more batch activities into a real-time environment and renew its user experience with SAP Fiori.
“With this deployment we are running the core processes of our more than 165,000 people, more than US$8.25 billion in revenue, tens of millions of square feet of real estate and facilities, and tens of thousands of projects running on SAP HANA,” said U. B. Pravin Rao, chief operating officer at Infosys.
“The speed, scale and mission-criticality of this deployment is proof of our unmatched excellence in skills, capabilities and agility that Infosys can bring to bear to our customers’ SAP landscapes at a massive scale.”
Infosys CEO and managing director Vishal Sikka was formerly SAP’s chief technology officer. Infosys has more than 12,400 employees in its global SAP application services practice, and 165,000 employees worldwide.
