RS Group, a global product and service solutions provider for industrial customers, faced challenges with its on-premises infrastructure, which limited its ability to scale and innovate. RS Group partnered with AWS Partner Tech Mahindra and Amazon Web Service (AWS) for a full lift-and-shift migration to the cloud. The migration, of which the digital production platform move was completed in only 48 hours without any unplanned downtime, has improved RS Group’s performance up to 150 percent. It has accelerated the time it takes to make infrastructure changes up to 95 percent and lowered technical debt by 12 percent. Operating on AWS has also empowered RS Group to scale efficiently, enhance resilience, and continuously innovate with AWS services.
Kärcher, based in Germany, is a global manufacturer of cleaning equipment. It operates with more than 160 subsidiaries in 82 countries worldwide. The company wanted to ensure that it could deliver products to its customers on time and at competitive costs. Given the disruptions in global supply chains since the COVID-19 pandemic, the company has undertaken to optimize the responsiveness of its supply chain with a cloud-first approach to operations. It also decided to build a new manufacturing facility in Vietnam. Kärcher wanted this greenfield facility to be cloud-native to provide flexibility while eliminating hardware purchases, reducing efforts needed for maintenance, and improving insights into operations. It worked with AWS Partner Zoi to build that solution on Amazon Web Services (AWS), eliminating an initial six-digit investment in hardware, license, and maintenance costs and ready to start production in just 11 months.
