The reasons why Lufthansa chose to move its infrastructure to the cloud are the significantly improved scalability of the environments with all related services, such as database, SOA and business intelligence, with a total of seven different Siebel Enterprises, which enables the customer to use and pay for Enterprises only when they are actually needed.
An important financial aspect is the reduction of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for Lufthansa. Using PaaS and DBaaS services while returning on-premise licenses and eliminating maintenance costs, the TCO can be reduced by 16 percent. Furthermore, it is very important for the customer to secure the added value of such a powerful application for the next few years.
