Challenge
The company was running on a historical, highly customized SAP ECC platform that was complex to maintain and increasingly inadequate to support the evolution of core processes. The challenge was to modernize the application landscape while ensuring business continuity, preserving critical functionalities, and introducing greater standardization.
Approach
The transformation was driven by a structured roadmap based on the migration to SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud through a hybrid approach. The strategy combined technological modernization with the enhancement of core functional assets, adopting a clean core, forward-to-standard mindset. Innovative tools and components such as SAP Fiori, Flexible Workflow, SAP BTP, and Adobe Interactive Forms were introduced to simplify the application model and make it ready for future evolution.
