Microsoft Azure Cloud and aims to accelerate further
cloud migrations. - The mainframe application for parts list management
contains essential expertise contributing to the
automotive manufacturer’s market strength.
The
solution.
- Migration of the highly critical application
for parts list management to the SDM. - Seamless continued operation of the application
with a connection of all associated interfaces to
surrounding and external systems, including around
250 partner systems. - Project implementation by T-Systems.
