SAP Migration to Azure Cloud
This session describes the drivers, benefits and lessons learned from the migration of Kordia’s SAP platform to the Azure cloud. This session should be attended by those interested in all things cloud and for those who want to learn how to undertake a similar journey regardless of the application or technology.

Setting up Syd
Syd is here. Registering companies is easy to do online but my accountant insisted he did it so things were done properly and to his standards. Company bank accounts are in place along with Banklink, and a massive insurance policy (just in case) so things are under way. Syd's accountant was great and lead me through the whole company setup process as it is very important to lay the right foundation. Everything can be done online and there are a lot of good people out there of

Another Cloud migration is underway
We are building a BW system on Azure on SQL 2014 and are using all the latest toys, column store compression, blob storage, cloud connectivity, we love it and it rocks. Working with Microsoft and the customer, adding value is what we focus on.

Syd win another support customer
We now support 4 customers SAP environments, BAU is tough but we love it.

Syd finish another SAP Cloud migration
Large customer and 8 SAP systems all up on Azure right on time. We also performed a SQL 2008 -> 2012 upgrade and setup backups to URL.

Syd is one, second year has flown and we enjoyed every minute of it :-)
Big thanks to everyone of our customers and partners, you have been nothing short of awesome and the team, well all I can really say is you are fantastic to work with.
