Eneco, a Dutch energy company, implemented SAP HANA Cloud Platform, integration service to support its cloud-first strategy and reduce costs. The cloud integration platform allowed Eneco to cut total integration costs by 50-60% compared to on-premise middleware. It also provided a flexible and scalable solution to integrate cloud and on-premise systems. The short implementation time of just a few weeks helped Eneco quickly achieve its goals of moving to the cloud and reducing dependency on managed services.
