Helping Text Book Centre with Cloud Migration to Google Cloud with Incentro

Kenya’s leading bookstore chain, Text Book Centre (TBC), faced rapid shifts in customer expectations, tech changes, and margin pressure—heightened by the pandemic. To stay competitive, TBC modernized its IT systems by migrating from a 15-year-old ERP to SAP and shifting its infrastructure to Google Cloud.

With the help of Incentro, TBC chose HYCU for GCP—a SaaS-based, cloud-native backup solution with native integration to Google Cloud and SAP HANA. HYCU offered fast deployment, ease of use, zero maintenance, and significantly reduced backup times and costs.

“With HYCU, recovery took just 60 seconds—something unthinkable before,” said Ezekiel Kagongo, IT Manager at TBC.

TBC’s shift enabled agility, lower costs, and a better customer experience.
