Customer success summary

Case Study 2017 Lenovo. All rights reserved.

With its sights set on becoming one of the world’s major container terminal operators, how could Gulftainer ensure that it could set up new sites quickly and easily? The company migrated its SAP business applications and Marine and Container Handling (MACH) system to SAP S/4 HANA, deploying two Lenovo System servers to support the mission-critical environment, as well as Lenovo Flex System at its corporate office in Sharjah, UAE, and the Khorfakkan Container Terminal to support its Terminal Operating System (TOS). Today, Gulftainer can scale its server infrastructure as and when needed to meet demanding growth requirements, while deeper insight into operations improves business decision-making. 11
