the ascent of cloud technology and its implications for SAP HANA played a pivotal role in shaping our business and guiding our strategic direction.
We’ve exclusively selected Microsoft Azure as our primary cloud platform provider. With this choice, we’ve crafted our own set of advanced management tools and gained invaluable insights for automating and optimizing SAP HANA on Azure. Our dedicated efforts have led to the creation of custom strategies that expedite complex business transformations while minimizing disruptions.
Additionally, we’ve established a thriving Community of Practice centered around our SAP on Azure automation, monitoring, and optimization solutions. Most of these resources are conveniently accessible through Microsoft Git Hub, providing you with a wealth of readily available knowledge.
Once we harness the capabilities of SAP on Azure, the potential to expedite, streamline, and pioneer SAP and complementary workloads becomes boundless. Responding to customer needs has driven us to expand our proficiency in native Microsoft Azure, SQL Database Data and Analytics, and Azure Security services. We are proud to assist some of the world’s leading retail, consumer, utility, and manufacturing brands, along with a growing number of mid-market clients in these domains.
Our expertise, dedication to exceptional customer experiences, thought leadership, and innovative approach to SAP transformation have earned us consistent global recognition from both our valued customers and partners. Whether it’s in the Cloud or on-premises, our “One Team” philosophy sets us apart when compared to leading Global System Integrator competitors. We are a specialized, agile, and intensely customer-focused organization with a commitment to achieving positive customer outcomes and a relentless pursuit of continuous improvement at our core.
We firmly believe that social, environmental, and economic aspects are intricately connected. Our commitment lies in fostering positive change through a variety of initiatives. This includes reducing our carbon footprint, promoting remote work to minimize commuting, embracing packaging reuse and recycling, and actively investing in tree-planting and rewilding programs.
We are deeply committed to sustainability in every facet of our operations. Over the past 12 months, we have successfully transitioned into a carbon-neutral business, primarily due to the increased adoption of remote work. Our employees now, on average, come into the office just twice a week, with some commuting as little as one day a week. Additionally, we’ve witnessed a remarkable 120% year-on-year surge in applications for our ‘Cycle to Work’ scheme. The widespread use of video conferencing and virtual events has played a significant role in achieving this milestone.
Recycling is at the forefront of our sustainability efforts. We prioritize both reusing packaging materials and establishing recycling stations, which has led to substantial progress in refurbishing a substantial portion of our hardware.
Beyond our workplace, we take great pride in dedicating 10 employee days to local tree-planting initiatives. Moreover, we are investing in various rehoming and rewilding initiatives throughout the United Kingdom this year, further underscoring our commitment to a sustainable future
