Edison, NJ (May 2026) \u2014 cbs, a global SAP consulting firm specializing in data migration and complex transformation projects and Lemongrass, a leader in SAP consulting and transformation services, today announced that they have completed an SAP carve-out for Propelis. Propelis is a global marketing services agency providing integrated packaging graphics, creative strategy, digital content, and workflow enabled solutions that support brands across print, packaging, digital, and in store experiences. The project was completed in just eight months, delivering a clean, compliant SAP separation while maintaining business continuity and protecting sensitive data. As a result, Propelis now operates independently on a modern, scalable technology foundation built to support future growth.<\/p>\n

The project with cbs and Lemongrass leveraged selective data transformation to migrate only Propelis-specific data from a shared SAP ECC environment, avoiding disruption to the seller\u2019s operations and ensuring data privacy throughout the transition. The program required close coordination across multiple stakeholders, environments, and timelines to ensure a seamless separation.<\/p>\n

As part of the carve-out, Propelis modernized key elements of its technology landscape. Integrations were transitioned from SAP Process Orchestration to SAP Business Technology Platform Integration Suite, and analytics were moved to a dedicated Microsoft Azure environment owned by the buyer.<\/p>\n

cbs and Lemongrass worked in close partnership to design, build and validate the new environment, using an Azure-based project landscape to accelerate development and testing before transitioning to SAP Enterprise Cloud Services for final validation and production cutover. Lemongrass led overall program delivery and coordination across stakeholders, helping maintain alignment across business, technical, and partner teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cLemongrass and cbs proved to be the right partners for us from day one,\u201d said Sriram Updahyayula, CIO\/CTO at Propelis. \u201cThey brought clarity, structure and deep technical expertise to a highly complex carve-out \u2014 and delivered exactly what they committed to. Their ability to align stakeholders and execute with precision was critical to achieving independence on time and without disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n
