Leading Innovative Food Company in the Asia Pacific<\/span><\/h2>\n

As the leading food company across the Asia Pacific, our customer has an excellent portfolio of well-known consumer brands in some of the region\u2019s largest grocery categories. Their product offering is supported by a large scale, efficient distribution network that enables delivery of the company\u2019s products to all the outlets every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital Transformation \u2013 Future Proof the Business<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

In consideration of the business growth and needs, SAP roadmap and ageing hardware, the customer embarked on a project to upgrade the existing SAP landscape by migrating to SAP Suite on HANA (SoH) on HANA Enterprise Cloud. It will enable them to move into SAP S\/4HANA at a later stage.<\/p>\n

With the move to HANA Enterprise Cloud, they reduce the total cost of ownership for the long run, future proof IT platform and more importantly, cater to future business growth.<\/p>\n

Additionally, they have the need to transform historical data coupled with the alignment of fiscal periods to group requirements.<\/p>\n

System Landscape Transformation: End-to-End Solutions from Design Through Technical Implementation<\/span><\/h3>\n

cbs consulting assessed and provided the following services as part of the requirement for the customer.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Using cbs\u2019 System Landscape Transformation migration approach for the customer to move to the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud.<\/li>\n
  • Finance Fiscal Period Change as well as Data Transformation to perform a Fiscal Year Shift for historical records:\n
      \n
    • E.g. Change of fiscal periods from 4-4-5 to Calendar periods.<\/li>\n
    • E.g. Data transformation exercise to set fiscal year back by 1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Deploying selective data migration for more than 20 company codes and a few years of historical data.<\/li>\n
    • Applying a Near-Zero Downtime approach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The project was facilitated by cbs\u2019 ET Enterprise Transformer, cbs proprietary transformation software, and executed by Transformation Team situated in cbs Kuala Lumpur Service Center, Malaysia.<\/p>\n

      It allows the customer to achieve high-quality and high-speed transformation based on the requirements. based on the requirements.<\/p>\n

      Near Zero-Downtime with System Landscape Transformation<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Throughout the project implementation, hardware, infrastructure and application tuning needs were collaboratively identified and improved. As a result, the customer achieved near-zero-downtime for their data migration on its massive SAP ECC database size.<\/p>\n

      The result achieved for the customer was about 16 hours of business downtime, with only about 7 hours allocated for data migration. With the Selective Data Migration approach, the customer\u2019s HANA database on Enterprise Cloud has reduced to just a few TB.<\/p>\n

      Different methods can optimise downtime. As lowering the downtime can have significant cost implications, those methods must be combined most intelligently. Experienced project and cut-over managers help to define an optimised cut-over plan for a system landscape transformation. cbs ET Optimisation is part of the standard offering to allow the fastest operations on the database level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17560,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"dhsv_reference_category":[351,462],"class_list":["post-17538","reference","type-reference","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","dhsv_reference_category-asia-pacific","dhsv_reference_category-food"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nFood Company achieved bespoke high-speed transformation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"See how a leading APAC food company cut downtime to 16 hours migrating to SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud.
