ESRI is a glob­al leader in Geo­graph­ic Infor­ma­tion Sys­tems (GIS) and loca­tion intel­li­gence. Thou­sands of com­pa­nies across the world, from star­tups to many of the For­tune 500, use Esri solu­tions to enable bet­ter deci­sion mak­ing. Like many com­pa­nies, Esri was look­ing to trans­form its inter­nal ERP to con­tin­ue deliv­er­ing crit­i­cal GIS solu­tions to cus­tomers glob­al­ly espe­cial­ly in light of increased demand dur­ing Covid-19. In response to these needs, Esri made the deci­sion to move to SAP S/4HANA on Microsoft Azure by lever­ag­ing Vnom­ic auto­mat­ed engi­neered SAP land­scape deliv­ery and gov­er­nance as a ser­vice solution.

Please join ASUG as we host an inter­ac­tive event with lead­ers from Esri and Vnom­ic to explore key learn­ings on the busi­ness dri­vers that Esri faced, how they made the deci­sions around mov­ing to SAP on Azure, and the impor­tant busi­ness & tech­ni­cal con­sid­er­a­tions dur­ing their jour­ney.  Learn how Esri is look­ing to opti­mize its ERP by lever­ag­ing enter­prise-ready inno­va­tion, reli­a­bil­i­ty, and agili­ty in the cloud. 

Don’t miss this oppor­tu­ni­ty to take part in the dis­cus­sion and hear insights from your indus­try peers, regard­ing the key fac­tors that you may also face as you make the own move to run­ning busi­ness-crit­i­cal work­loads on the cloud.

As an attendee, you will have oppor­tu­ni­ties to pro­vide feed­back and ask ques­tions through­out the event. Please take advan­tage of this chance to engage with us dur­ing this dialogue.
