Richemont, a Swiss luxury group and owner of prestigious brands and businesses recognized for their excellence in jewelry, watches, fashion and accessories, executed its plan of moving its complete enterprise IT infrastructure to AWS. 

Richemont’s digital transformation strategy includes, shut down of its European data centers and the transfer of additional data centers in Hong Kong and the U.S. to AWS by the end of 2022. Notably, the company has planned to move more than 5,000 virtual machines and 120 SAP instances to AWS. 

Furthermore, Richemont’s cloud-first strategy includes the migration of a number of services such as its enterprise IT applications and resource planning, accounting, supply chain management, manufacturing, product lifecycle management, and e-commerce systems to AWS.  

Additionally, with AWS, Richemont plans to use advanced cloud capabilities, including machine learning, analytics, security, and database, to aid product innovation across its physical retail operations and e-commerce offerings. 

To cater to customer needs, Richemont will also use AWS Marketplace, which is a digital catalog for organizations to discover, procure, entitle, provision, and govern third-party software.
