A leading oil company needed to define a medium-term roadmap for the technological evolution and transformation of its SAP ECC platform towards the SAP S/4HANA world.

The Engineering's study began with an assessment of existing processes and continued with SAP’s identification of possible standard coverage with SAP Model Company and SAP Best Practices. We applied the results obtained to the client's processes, assessing the degree of adoptability of the standard rather than the adaptation of the custom and keeping the migration plan to SAP S/4HANA as the final objective. We adopted the migration strategy to SAP S/4HANA through Model Company in the Oil sector, using a “composable” approach able to guarantee the client more advantageous technological solutions. We designed a Mix & Match solution, which strikes the right balance between the ability to leverage “back to standard” for core business processes and the ability to re-engineer existing customisations on SAP’s Business Technology Platform. Specific KPIs were defined to measure the return on investment of the project over time.
