Client Challenge To manage its complex and geographically dispersed business, the company had no packaged solution. As the new ERP environment would be critical to the smooth running of its business, Café Coffee Day placed great emphasis on selecting the platform to run its SAP software and in backing it with a comprehensive support package
Putting SUSE to work Café Coffee Day opted to run its SAPERP application on SUSE Linux EnterpriseServer, based on the operating system’s price-performance, reliability and scalability.
Make an Impact • Improved control over extended supply chain • Gained reliable, scalable ERP platform with low cost of ownership• Ensured round-the-clock priority support for entire solution stack
