About the Client

Divider

The Client is a leading Process Industry specializing in chemical manufacturing and is based in the US with over 24 plants. They sold a part of their business and wanted to carve out that section of business from the existing SAP landscape. The requirement was to make the changes in the backend without causing disruptions to the day-to-day operations.

The Challenges

Divider

When a business entity undergoes a divestiture, there are a lot of selective data and processes to be comprehensively migrated to the new SAP landscape. With the divestiture being completed, the Client needed the below requirements to be addressed through the carve-out process.

  • Ensure data integrity, perform data cleaning, and carve out IT systems and data related to the business section that was split.
  • Accelerate SAP landscape transformation and ensure minimal disruptions to operations.
  • Reduce cost of operations by improving SAP landscape efficiency.
  • Restrict access to legacy data by segregating co-mingled data.
  • Efficient transition by carving out IT systems that included the ERP system, Supply Chain Management, and Warehouse management systems.

The Solutions

Divider
Korcomptenz, with over two decades of ERP experience in consulting, implementation, and support services assessed the Client’s requirements for the carve-out process. It had chosen to use SAP System Landscape Transformation (SLO) as a best-fit approach as against traditional implementation models. We had used the SAP Activate methodology in conjunction to our SAP carve-out best practices to ensure a seamless transition.
The aim of the carve-out transition was to ensure complete data integrity and selectively migrate data and processes that were relevant for the new SAP technology landscape. Our approach was to have NZDT (Near Zero Downtime) for the SAP SLO data migration, so that the Client’s business operations had minimal disruptions, with accelerated migration.
