Constantia Flexibles and T-Systems: A strategic partnership for future-ready IT infrastructure

We have partnered with T-Systems to modernize our IT infrastructure. This collaboration is a significant step in our digital transformation journey, ensuring enhanced efficiency, scalability, and security for our business-critical operations.

Project overview

In 2024, we transferred the responsibility for operating our business-critical SAP systems to T-Systems. This involved migrating 20 ERP systems for production at ten locations, along with associated financial systems, to T-Systems' Vienna data center. The project was completed within an impressive timeframe of just 16 weeks.

Future Cloud Infrastructure (FCI)

T-Systems developed a Future Cloud Infrastructure (FCI) that combines private and public cloud services, enabling comprehensive hybrid functions. This platform allows us to benefit from a cost-effective, highly secure private cloud infrastructure while leveraging the flexibility and agility of a public cloud. The FCI platform also offers the flexibility to adapt to future changes in the SAP ecosystem, such as a switch to RISE with SAP.

Key success factors

• Holistic Coverage: T-Systems' 'One T' concept ensured professional implementation of all involved services, covering IT, telecommunications, and security.
• Proactive Project Management: T-Systems' proactive approach and close collaboration with our teams were crucial for the smooth execution of the project.
• Trust and Chemistry: Mutual trust and strong chemistry between the teams played a significant role in achieving the project's goals.

Future prospects

As we continue to optimize our digitalization and efficiency, additional locations and local solutions will be integrated into the FCI platform. This ongoing partnership with T-Systems will help us maintain cost efficiency, reliability, and demand-based scalability.

The successful migration of our SAP systems to T-Systems' Future Cloud Infrastructure marks a significant step in our digital transformation journey. We look forward to further strengthening our partnership with T-Systems and leveraging their expertise to drive innovation and growth.
