Case Study: Process industry specializing in petrochemicals
Seamless SAP Consolidation After Complex Merger
Unifying systems with 30% faster processes and near-zero downtime
About the Client
A decade-old leader in petrochemical process manufacturing, the client had just completed a major merger. With two enterprises now under one roof, the challenge was clear: unify and consolidate SAP landscapes to drive seamless integration and operational efficiency.
The Challenges

- Historical data from both entities had to be accessible in a single, reliable system.
- A comprehensive integration process was critical to ensure accuracy, integrity, and standardization.
- The IT team needed relief from complex, heavy systems.
- Operations had to run smoothly with no chokepoints or disruptions during transition.
- Downtime had to be minimized to achieve faster “Business as Usual.”
- Full visibility was required for stakeholder alignment, migration planning, and project governance.
- The consolidation had to uncover process optimizations and cost savings, not just parity.
