At regular intervals, the Lufthansa Group reviews its internal processes and structures in order to adapt them to new requirements as needed. As part of such an audit, it was determined in 2013 that the existing archiving concept (OpenText) no longer met the changed requirement profile.
As part of the call for tenders, the Lufthansa Group got to know tia®, the SAP-certified archiving solution from kgs. As part of a PoC, it was checked to what extent the platform met the Group's requirements. Since tia® represented the largest intersection with the requirement profile in the overall picture and the price-performance ratio met the Lufthansa Group's goals, it was decided to introduce tia®.
The kgs platform was rolled out as an archiving system in the Lufthansa Group in 2016. As part of regular optimization checks, a multi-provider strategy for data centers should be implemented in 2019. In this context, tia® was also reviewed and convinced, so that a new contract was negotiated on a subscription basis and the kgs application has been running on MS Azure in data centers in Amsterdam ever since.
