Kyoei Denki: Profitable growth and faster innovation with a cloud platform running on SAP Business One®
Kyoei Denki has been growing steadily since it was founded. Kyoei Denki hosted SAP Business One on-premise, and with a small IT team in place, they had trouble responding to server issues. They found that their system was down on average once per month, which negatively impacted their business operations. The company needed to enhance their IT infrastructure to support continuous growth. Therefore, Kyoei Denki approached Axxis Consulting for an upgrade of their existing system, as well as to discuss a move to the cloud.
- Founded in Japan in 1952 and now with 17 offices across Asia, geographical expansion created a need to upgrade their existing on-premises system to the cloud to support growth and reduce costs
- With only a small IT team it was difficult to keep up with server issues, and on average, the system was going down once per month which negatively impacted business operations
- Staff lacked an efficient way to remotely access systems – the legacy VPN access method was time-consuming and costly, hindering business expansion plans overseas
- SAP Business One hosted by AWS delivered a reliable, scalable and low-cost platform in the cloud
- After the migration to the cloud, the business experienced significant improvements in productivity and reduced overall business costs
- As a result of moving to the cloud, staff can securely access information on the system seamlessly and conveniently from anywhere in the world without a VPN
- Potential disruptions and system downtime has also been significantly reduced or eliminated after its migration to AWS’ secure cloud servers
- SAP Business One offered full financials as well as end-to-end inventory control in a system that was fast to implement, user friendly and affordable for a tight budget
- Kyoei Denki selected SAP Platinum Partner, and United VARs member, Axxis Consulting due to their proven track record using SAP Business One to streamline and transform 100+ businesses
