Mergers, Acquisitions, Partnerships in May

Microsoft Azure expertise

The SAP consulting company Cpro Industry has acquired a majority stake in Inconsys, a service provider for Microsoft infrastructure solutions.

With the acquired Microsoft Azure expertise, Cpro Industry offers its customers a further infrastructure basis for migration to the cloud; this opens up additional growth prospects for the company in the cloud business. "The acquisition of Inconsys enables us to bring SAP and Microsoft together and to position ourselves even more broadly in the cloud sector. We see the opportunity here to unleash a whole range of synergies"explains Claudius Seja, Managing Director of Cpro Industry. SAP and Microsoft have been working closely together for years on the integration and certification of SAP products on Azure.

Due to the joint strategy, Azure is increasingly being chosen for efficient and secure migration to the cloud. Even before the takeover, the two Hamburg-based system houses worked closely together at project level. At that time, Inconsys still appeared as a sub-service provider. As part of Cpro Industry, Inconsys will primarily drive forward the topic of S/4 Hana migration. With the Microsoft partner, Cpro Industry will be able to offer its customers flexible transformation solutions to S/4 Hana with Azure in future. Depending on customer requirements, a new implementation (greenfield), a system conversion (brownfield) or a selective migration is possible.
