Attaining the AWS SAP Competency showcases Syntax’s skills in specialized areas across industries, use cases and workloads. AWS SAP Competency Partners have demonstrated technical proficiency and proven success in SAP implementation, including best practices to streamline cloud migration and/or transformation.
Since 2009, Dole Packaged Foods, LLC (Dole) has run its SAP environment in Syntax’s private cloud, relying on Syntax’s ability and flexibility to support and secure Dole’s mission-critical SAP applications. Looking to take the next step in their digital transformation, Dole leveraged a decade of trust in Syntax’s experienced SAP Basis team to provide a seamless transition from private to public cloud. Syntax’s deep roots and Advanced Consulting Partner status with AWS, together with its proven maximum performance and availability architecture, made for an ideal pairing.

“Syntax translated a deep understanding of our systems and how we use them into an architecture that would achieve our cost-savings goal in the public cloud,” said Bill Farrell, Director, SAP Technology and Governance, Dole.
For the homogeneous migration from private to public cloud, Syntax used HANA replication, as well as AWS CloudEndure tools, to facilitate the migration. Through cross-region replication, Syntax replicated the entire environment to an alternate region, protecting against catastrophic failure.
“The Syntax team persevered at all levels, troubleshooting through multiple technical challenges to make it happen,” said Farrell. “The biggest thing going forward is to take advantage of the technology and innovation that AWS offers, and we’re counting on Syntax to translate that into tangible benefits for our business.”
