Hermes

Largest German Post-independent logistics company. 40+ years in operation, 15,500+ employees. Full-service portfolio from sourcing, quality assurance, sea/air transport, warehousing, fulfillment, to online shop operation.

Challenge

IBM WebSphere licensing made cloud migration too expensive. Migrated to GlassFish but needed commercial support. Otto (parent company) already used Payara Enterprise successfully.

Solution

Migrated from GlassFish to Payara Server Enterprise 4 using Migration & Project Support. Moved operations to German T-Systems Open Telecom Cloud. Then transitioned to 24×7 Payara Enterprise support.

Result

30% faster performance. Fewer problems. Significant reduction in operating costs. Went into production 100 days earlier than planned.
