In 2011, Singapore Airlines launched Scoot, a subsidiary offering low cost, medium and long-haul flights across Asia and Australia. As a start-up, Scoot needed an ERP system that integrated with its parent company’s SAP software, sans the long haul implementation and high infrastructure costs associated with on-premise deployments. Scoot looked at major ERP vendors, but set its sights on the cloud for its cost-efficiency, fast deployment and flexibility.
