With operations all across Canada and many customers and strategic partnerships, FortisOntario, electrical company, issues an average of 50,000 electronic invoices every month, all of these managed by an external provider. In order to carry the process internally, the company needed to optimize their billing system.

As part of the process, FortisOntario has chosen AWS and Linke to make this posible and to integrate the system with the self-service portal that was designed for their customers. During the project, the company adopted Linke AWS connector, an SAP on AWS cloud solution created by Linke's I+D department. Now, FortisOntario can manage, store and retrieve all their invoices on Amazon S3 in a more accesible way and reducing their annual costs around 40%. 

Cloud computing, automation, app development, DevOps and much more where some of the topics seen during the AWS Online Summit the last 17th june 2020. This great event of cloud technology, powered by Amazon Web Services, showed us how cloud-based tools can improve infrastructure development and architecting.

For this year's edition, experts from AWS and partners participated with highlighted sessions and tracks in order to talk about cloud trends and how to take advantage of all the benefits it brings. 

And at Linke we had the pleasure of being part of this event with an outstanding session and our virtual booth, in which we discussed the best migration strategies and success stories. Did you missed it? Keep reading to  know all about the AWS Online Summit 2020.

If we are looking for a secure and flexible environment, capable of adapting to business needs and seasonal peaks, a cloud infrastructure is seen as the best option. There are many benefits to migrating workloads and applications to the cloud, including effectiveness, security, accessibility and performance improvements.

At Linke we know the importance of SAP workloads for many companies and the importance of an agile and seamless management of data in an integrated platform. For that reason, we were pleased to join the AWS Virtual Days, an event about migration both cloud to cloud and from physical centres to cloud.
Keep reading to know more about our participation on the best way to migrate to cloud, plus the presentation of our case study with our customer GALP.

When you deploy SAP on AWS, you need to manage the accounts that gain access to the cloud. Cloud administrators need to come up with a way to organise the available resources and determine who has access to which resources. Then, provide levels of permissions for viewing and manipulating data.

At Linke we will be hosting a new webinar in partnership with SAP dedicated to cybersecurity and system administration based on SAP systems running in AWS cloud. Let's take a look at the main topics to be discussed. Also, do not forget to register, you still have time. 

Within the framework of Amazon Web Services' cloud-based SAP managed systems, an important part to consider is always infrastructure monitoring as well as replication. Among the different monitoring tools, Linke uses mainly Zabbix. Recently, our customers have raised a need that we have managed to solve: Currently, Zabbix does not support the monitoring of Oracle replication databases.

For this reason, we want to share in today's post how our SAP Basis Senior Consultant, Jaume Moreno, has configured and developed a solution for Zabbix to monitor these Oracle standby databases from now on. Ready? Keep reading:

In many businesses, compliance refers to the fact of acting in accordance with ethical and legal standards. It may sound like an overwhelming task, but there are measures that can help to make the process easier. In order to do so, companies can opt foe implementing features to help with compliance automation.

On the other hand, is well known that SAP is the predominant mission-critical business software platform for companies. SAP often handles multiple areas of the business including finance, HR, training, manufacturing, and supply chain and depending on the needs and nature of your business, compliance and risk management can be key in all your SAP infrastructure processes. 

This is why at Linke, we have prepared the following webinar in order to explain how businesses can meet compliance and governance requirements when running SAP systems on AWS cloud by using automation tools, always following the best practices for both SAP and AWS environments.
