The initial situation

Hermes Germany GmbH has launched a significant digitization project to increase efficiency and flexibility. In line with the size and complexity of the organization, the new ERP system needed to be flexible in use while simplifying, automating, and accelerating processes. The decision was made to choose Comarch ERP Enterprise. The software is developed in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, is 100% cloud-enabled, and can be hosted in a Comarch Data Center in German-speaking countries.

In 2017, Hermes also opted for Comarch ICT as part of the digitization project. In 2022, this contract was extended due to good cooperation. Hosting includes, for example, the provision of modern hardware and software technologies. In combination with additional services, these guarantee high availability. This includes data center capacity, hardware, software, and IT services for the operation, management, and administration of the Comarch ERP Enterprise software. In addition, a highly available system environment is provided.

Hosting certified by ISAE Trusted Projects Program, backup solutions, performance analysis, optimization, reporting, and managed services in the data center were also ordered. This ensures IT support around the clock.
