Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company, announced that Gold Fields, a global gold producer with operations across multiple continents, has migrated its end-to-end SAP and financial systems to AWS as part of its digital transformation strategy. The collaboration enables Gold Fields to modernize its technology infrastructure while enabling AWS’s analytics, machine learning (ML), and generative artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to unlock future insights to improve operational efficiency, enhance workplace safety, and become a more data-driven business.
AWS is helping Gold Fields modernize its infrastructure, improve governance, and gain cost efficiencies. We selected AWS as our preferred cloud provider because of its proven experience operating at scale and commitment to innovation. Gold Fields continues to work with AWS to leverage its expertise and cutting-edge solutions to transform our business.
Deloitte worked with Gold Fields and AWS to migrate the global Gold Fields SAP estate to the AWS Cloud. By assembling a multidisciplinary team of Deloitte experts across multiple time zones, we ensured that all aspects of the migration, including data privacy, governance, and technology, were handled with precision and expertise, resulting in a seamless, zero-business-impact transition. Leveraging AWS’s secure and scalable infrastructure, the migration reduced operating costs and increased data processing speed for critical group systems, while maintaining Gold Fields’ strong governance and risk management standards.
Our work with Gold Fields demonstrates the transformative
power of cloud technology in the mining industry. By
migrating its critical SAP systems to AWS, Gold Fields is
now ready to modernize its platform and apply advanced
analytics and machine learning to realize the full potential
of its internal data.
