7. • Needed a simplified way for detailed cross-
functional reporting
• Proof of Concept (PoC) was to be delivered within
one month
• > 10x reduction in run time
• > 50% reduction in cost of delivery
• Scaled HANA production system in an hour
• AWS “made SAP fun !”
Fairfax Media is one of the largest media
companies in Australia and New Zealand
We delivered the PoC on time
and budget. And within three
months we had our production
system live. After six months,
our production system was at
capacity so we upgraded from
a 244 GB to a 2 TB system
within one hour.

Head of Finance Systems, Fairfax Media

8. Seaco Uses AWS to Improve SAP Performance
• Needed a faster solution to host its SAP
applications
• Moved its previously hosted datacenter
solution to AWS
• Improved the performance of its SAP
applications by nearly 90%
• Saved more than 50% in IT
infrastructure and maintenance costs.
• Reduced its monthly billing-process
time by 75%
Our performance of SAP on AWS
is off the scale. We reduced our
monthly billing cycle from four days
to one day and have significantly
reduced our overall annual IT
costs.
