Boosting manufacturing efficiency with data

A leading Chinese manufacturer of elevators and escalators, XIOLIFT is growing rapidly with many large-scale projects on the go. To keep operations running smoothly, the company engaged Lenovo to optimize its data management strategy and improve the performance of critical SAP systems.

Customer Problem

Data growth placed huge pressure on XIOLIFT’s SAP environment and sparked reliability issues. To help users access key data, the company looked to improve the performance of its systems.

Lenovo Solution

XIOLIFT worked with a specialist support team from Lenovo to move rarely accessed project data off its main SAP HANA database and into a secure, easy-to-access archive.

Business Impact

Working with Lenovo, XIOLIFT has freed up capacity to handle new workloads in SAP HANA, and improved the performance and stability of its critical systems.

“Our SAP environment is central to many sales and production processes. Thanks to Lenovo, we can access data faster and keep manufacturing projects on schedule for our clients.”
