Client:
A leading Australian company that operates a beer and cider business.
Business Challenge:
The client completed the acquisition of a subsidiary from a leading multinational brewer. As part of the IT separation activity, the client required the technical migration of 114 non-SAP applications to a standalone state (Azure/DC). The program entailed setting up a new Azure landing zone, migration of SAP, and about 90 non-SAP applications, deployment of new laptops and devices, and coordinating with 50 technical vendors for migrating SaaS applications to comply with SSO (Single Sign-on) or other data-related issues due to the ownership change.
Benefits Achieved:
A successful migration within the schedule including the below benefits:
- A 72-hour cutover window was set up for the “big switch,” during which 55 applications interfacing with SAP were cutover
- Zero downtime for the customer’s production, distribution, and supply chain systems
- Averted penalties and other non-compliance issues for the customer by standing up to its own systems and cutting free from the parent network during the cutover window, and many more
- Four weeks of hyper care after the cutover
