Brother renews Atos Origin deal

Extended contract will see migration of SAP systems to new hosted environment

The printer manufacturer hopes to reduce costs by migrating to a new hosted environment for SAP applications

Electronics manufacturer Brother has extended its deal with Atos Origin for the provision of hosting and SAP support services.

The extended contract will see the IT services firm managing the transition of all Brother’s SAP systems to a new hosting environment based on a dual datacentre system which includes full disaster recovery capability.

Brother said that its need for round-the-clock availability and minimum downtime in the case of an incident prompted the decision to upgrade the hosting environment for SAP applications. The business also hopes that the migration will further improve service quality and reduce costs.

Brother has used Atos Origin's services since 1999.
