Company

The Bonafarm Group is a collaboration of Hungarian farming and agricultural companies that

cultivate a combined 27,000 hectares of land and employ a total of 5,500 people. The crops they

grow are used either as livestock fodder or as raw material for food products. The group members

hold over 4,000 heads of cattle and process around 500,000 pigs each year. They produce over

15 million eggs and, manage a 220-hectare network of fish ponds. Outside of Hungary, the or-

ganization has operations in Germany, Serbia and Romania.

Challenge

To remain competitive, Bonafarm Group is under increasing pressure to improve commercial serv-

ices, control costs, and improve forecasting capabilities. It handles huge amounts of data related

to production, sales, and finances, which it must analyze effectively to make informed strategic

decisions and enable management to assess business success. To do this well, Bonafarm Group

needed to enhance its data warehousing and business intelligence (BI) capabilities. The executive

team was able to carry out ad-hoc queries, but it needed faster responses and the ability to carry

out complex queries more regularly.

Solution

The Group chose to implement SAP HANA* appliances for data warehousing and customer re-

lationship management (CRM), running on an infrastructure composed of HP AppSystem* and

HP servers powered by the Intel® Xeon® processor E7 v2 family. This combination of technologies

offers the flexibility, reliability, and performance it needs to quickly analyze information and

support customer-related activities.

Benefits

The combination of the tailored SAP HANA appliances and strong performance of the HP servers

cent

according to internal tests. They have also cut the time spent loading data by 50 percent,

from six to three hours per day.

Able to access and process more data more quickly than before, Bonafarm Group can now delve

deeper into its big data resources to extract greater insights. It has improved its forecasting capa-

bilities and can make more informed and sophisticated business decisions about strategic projects

and company direction.

venue-related figures and im-

proved forecasting capability.”
