Business Needs
The client, a fortune 10 Energy Major, wanted to introduce an API lead approach to their ERP migration from ECC to SAP S/4 HANA Solution.
Data Model was selected as the integration tool for this green field implementation to replace a 20-year- old legacy systems with single instance of SAP S/4 HANA Solution
The integration scope included Supply Chain, Pricing, Asset Management, Procurement, Order Management and integration with around 40 complex external systems.
Our solution
We worked closely with the client to establish a Data Model C4E and an API factory model for the ERP project. A global Data Model API factory was setup to delivery 67 integrations for Phase 1, 98 for Phase 2 and 170 for Phase 3.
Measurable outcomes
- 70 integrations are in production within 3 months of start date with 25% reusability
- Reusable architecture components (System API’s and common integration services for Error Handling/Monitoring)
