In a conversation with Michael Nielsen, Lead Infrastructure Manager at Velliv we learn how Velliv managed to establish an IT infrastructure from the ground up as they were divested from Nordea. Michael gives insights into their SAP landscape and explains how HEC (HANA Enterprise Cloud) was crucial to their establishment of an SAP landscape in a new setting. We learn how Michael and his colleague Troels (the 2 man SAP department) manages a complex SAP landscape spanning private cloud, public cloud and complex integration scenarios to the rest of the Velliv solution landscape.
