Case Studies
Callaway Golf
In an age of high-speed retail and customized orders, Callaway Golf needed to accelerate key production planning reports to stay ahead of competitors. Migrating its SAP APO, BW and ERP systems to an SAP HANA in-memory database on Lenovo servers enabled the company to dramatically cut report run-times from hours to minutes. Decision-makers can now run planning reports more frequently, enabling them to steer the business and meet customer expectations better than ever before.

Gulf Ocean Trading
As a retailer, Gulf Ocean Trading needs to serve its customers quickly and effectively. To speed up core trading systems and to provide real-time visibility into operations, the company migrated its SAP ERP landscape from HP ProLiant servers to an integrated SAP HANA in-memory solution from Lenovo. Based on its success in accelerating processes and reporting, while supporting round-the-clock operations, the company chose the same solution to support its new manufacturing business.
