Global Blue | Professional Services | 1783 | $311M | Switzerland | Magnolia International | Magnolia PaaS | Apps Development | 2023 |
In 2023 Global Blue deployed Magnolia PaaS as a headless content and delivery platform, using Magnolia DX Cloud/PaaS to support global marketing and multilingual customer experiences. The implementation was executed by Arvato Systems and is documented on the Magnolia case study and partner pages, which explicitly reference Magnolia DX Cloud and Arvato Systems as the system integrator. This deployment sits within the Apps Development category and serves corporate marketing and customer-facing mobile channels.
The solution architecture centers on a headless Magnolia site hosted on Magnolia PaaS, leveraging API-first content delivery and centralized editorial workflows to manage multilingual content. Magnolia AI translation was integrated as a core capability to automate and scale localization, reducing manual translation steps and enabling near real-time content localization. Magnolia PaaS and Magnolia DX Cloud were used together to provide platform services, content staging, and delivery automation aligned with Apps Development functional patterns.
Operational coverage began with implementation activity in Switzerland while enabling global rollout of marketing campaigns and multilingual experiences, including mobile apps that consume headless APIs. Arvato Systems implemented the platform and integration layers, coordinating content model configuration, translation automation, and delivery endpoints for mobile and web channels. The implementation emphasizes a centralized content hub that publishes through APIs to distributed customer touchpoints.
Governance and process changes focused on editorial role-based workflows and automated translation orchestration via Magnolia AI translation, streamlining content handoffs. The case study reports translation cost reductions of about 70 percent and a reduction in translation delivery times from weeks to seconds, outcomes tied directly to the use of Magnolia AI translation on Magnolia DX Cloud and Magnolia PaaS.

HANSA-FLEX | Manufacturing | 5152 | $692M | Germany | Microsoft | Microsoft Azure Cloud Services | Application Hosting and Computing Services | 2020 |
In 2020, HANSA-FLEX implemented Microsoft Azure Cloud Services as its core cloud platform, using the deployment to advance a comprehensive digitalization strategy in the Application Hosting and Computing Services category. The migration was executed with Arvato Systems and Kaemena’s team, and confronted a heterogeneous database landscape that included IBM Db2 and SAP HANA, requiring data transformation, reorganization, and compression prior to cloud hosting.
Architecturally the project used Microsoft Azure Cloud Services with Azure NetApp Files as the underlying shared file storage service, a first in Germany for a purely SAP project. Azure NetApp Files provided flexible NAS-like storage provisioning, which allowed the teams to scale capacity during migration, simplify backup workflows, and ultimately reduce the migrated SAP database footprint to roughly one third of its pre-migration size rather than provisioning multiple premium SSD volumes.
Operational scope encompassed 20 business critical SAP systems that were moved into Azure, with the cutover completed in about three months and minimal end user disruption beyond a few sign-in prompts. The Microsoft Azure Cloud Services deployment centralized SAP compute and storage in Microsoft’s managed environment, enabling enterprise grade backup and security scenarios that were previously impractical for the family-owned SME, and changed day to day operations for the IT organization.
Governance and process changes focused on reducing hands-on maintenance and night time firefighting for administrators, which improved the IT department’s standing internally. HANSA-FLEX signaled plans to extend Microsoft-based services into IoT and mixed reality, including Microsoft HoloLens for remote support, while adopting the pay for actual usage model of Azure to gain greater operational flexibility and storage elasticity.

HANSA-FLEX | Manufacturing | 5152 | $692M | Germany | Microsoft | Microsoft Azure NetApp Files | Cloud Storage | 2020 |
In 2020, HANSA-FLEX implemented Microsoft Azure NetApp Files as part of a Cloud Storage deployment to migrate 20 business-critical SAP systems to Microsoft Azure. The project was executed with Arvato Systems and Kaemena's team and completed in roughly three months, the time it normally takes to procure SAP hardware, making HANSA-FLEX the first company in Germany to use Microsoft Azure NetApp Files in a purely SAP project.
The implementation used Microsoft Azure NetApp Files to host consolidated SAP HANA and IBM Db2 workloads, enabling data transformation, reorganization, and compression during the migration. Configuration emphasized scalable file share capacity and high-performance shared storage, detaching storage sizing from fixed physical SSDs and simplifying backup processes, which reduced the need to juggle multiple drives.
The deployment ran 20 SAP systems on Azure and integrated Microsoft Azure platform services with on-premises SAP architectures during cutover, requiring coordinated sequencing and system conversions to minimize end-user disruption. Arvato Systems and Kaemena's team managed migration orchestration and operational runbooks, with the operational scope concentrated on IT operations and SAP administration where administrators reported a reduced need for overnight interventions.
Reported outcomes include the migrated database occupying one-third of its previous storage footprint and avoiding the need to provision up to five premium SSDs that would otherwise have been expected. Stakeholders stated it is too early to quantify savings, while noting increased scalability, pay-for-what-you-use billing, and the ability to run enhanced security and backup scenarios within Microsoft’s managed environment, and signaling future extension into Microsoft IoT and Microsoft HoloLens driven remote support initiatives.
