March 15, 2022 – SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE, a world-leading provider of software solutions for digital transformation processes and automated data migrations in the SAP environment, has achieved certification of its BLUEFIELD™ Powered by CrystalBridge solution from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

PwC has comprehensively audited the SNP solution BLUEFIELD™ Powered by CrystalBridge. For the certification, SNP simulated a selective transformation from SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) to SAP S/4HANA with many demos. The auditors monitored the process during the audit and confirmed the procedure. For this purpose, SNP demonstrated a wide range of transformation scenarios. In addition to the result of the audit, the audit report also contains a comprehensive description of SNP’s software and approach, explaining how transformations are performed with BLUEFIELD™ Powered by CrystalBridge.

The audit was conducted in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised).

Gregor Stöckler, chief operating officer, SNP, said, “SNP is delighted that PwC was able to complete the audit of the BLUEFIELD approach that we developed and established in the market as well as our transformation software. The audit report summarises the auditors’ findings on the suitability of SNP’s procedure and on the fulfilment of the transformation objectives to serve as proof for our customers. It provides even more transparency for SAP user companies, letting them take full advantage of the added value SNP’s leading solution offers for SAP-centric transformations.”

There used to be two classic migration approaches in the SAP market: greenfield, primarily for new implementations of SAP solutions; and brownfield, primarily for the transformation of existing SAP landscapes. SNP developed a third approach many years ago: BLUEFIELD™. To achieve this, SNP combined the two classic approaches by selecting the best parts of greenfield and brownfield. Today, BLUEFIELD™ is a globally established approach within the SAP community that serves as a solution for existing SAP customers.

After completing over 14,500 projects, SNP knows that business transformations can be complex and sometimes even mission-critical. Currently, there is high demand for scenarios involving mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, and moves to SAP S/4HANA and the cloud. These scenarios impose high requirements on the quality of the software that implements such change processes.

With this in mind, SNP had its BLUEFIELD™ approach and CrystalBridge transformation software audited with regard to the following key transformation objectives: the transformation is complete and correct according to the customer’s specifications; the migrated data is consistent; and the transformation is fully documented in an understandable way. Now, the auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) has recently “certified” SNP’s approach and transformation software.

SNP’s data transformation platform CrystalBridge® and BLUEFIELD approach selected for series of S/4 transformations for Astra Group’s automotive companies

Heidelberg, Germany | Singapore | Jakarta, Indonesia, October 29, 2021 – SNP Transformations SEA Pte Ltd., a subsidiary of SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE (the SNP Group), a world-leading provider of software solutions for digital transformation processes and automated data migrations, has completed a successful SAP S/4HANA go-live with a move to the Azure Cloud for PT United Tractors Tbk, the largest heavy equipment provider in Indonesia, in collaboration with PT Astra Graphia Information Technology (AGIT). Following this success, the Astra Group has selected SNP and AGIT for multiple SAP S/4HANA transformation projects this year.

United Tractors, a subsidiary of PT Astra International Tbk (Astra), one of Indonesia’s largest and leading business groups, was gearing up to expand its business by implementing a synergy-based and diversified business model in various business units. The associated digitalization involving the migration to the new SAP S/4HANA business suite with lower cloud operating costs was identified as a priority to support business growth, influence the company’s ability to adopt next-generation business processes, and enable it to make informed decisions quickly based on real-time insights. The need of the hour was a reliable, time-efficient and cost-saving approach, accommodating the highest flexibility regarding the coverage of data transformation requirements and with minimal downtime.

Lie Gunadi, Corporate Strategic and Technology Division Head, PT United Tractors Tbk, says, “As part of United Tractors’ digital transformation journey, the company planned to upgrade its existing ECC 6.0 (on-premises) to significantly improve its operations via a host of optimization strategies. A rapid implementation to move the core business system to S/4HANA and the cloud was imperative to manage demand for innovation, customization and transparent real-time analysis, ensuring business agility – an essential aspect for staying at the top in today’s increasingly intense market environment. Apart from resolving the data transformation challenges, SNP’s CrystalBridge^® and BLUEFIELD approach delivered as per United Tractors’ ambition for a leaner, higher-performance S/4HANA target system in Azure. A high degree of automation and reliability combined multiple projects simultaneously and reduced the data footprint with selective data migration, lowering TCO at minimal downtime and risk and achieving a single go-live within budgeted timelines. Thanks to SNP, we are on an accelerated path to becoming an agile intelligent enterprise.”

Gerald Faust, Managing Director and CEO, Asia Pacific and Middle East, SNP Transformations SEA Pte Ltd., adds, “SNP is delighted to be part of United Tractor’s strategic endeavor to become an intelligent enterprise with an automated and accelerated transformation to SAP S/4HANA as they transformed their data, business and systems from on-premises to Azure. In the wake of this success, SNP has been engaged to extend its proven expertise to more automotive and heavy equipment companies, dealing with Komatsu, Daihatsu, Toyota, Honda and others within the Astra Group. SNP’s approach supports business growth and paves the way for integrating emerging technologies including big data, embedded AI, in-memory HANA database and real-time analytics.”

Widi Triwibowo, President Director, AGIT, comments, “As a strategic IT arm of the Astra Group, we combined our expertise with SNP to significantly drive United Tractors’ operations, leading the industry through a host of digital, data transformation and cost optimization strategies with an outlook for business continuity and agility. SNP’s software-centric data transformation platform CrystalBridge^® and selective data migration approach BLUEFIELD, which flexibly combines the best of Greenfield (new implementation) and Brownfield (system conversion) approaches, offered a low-risk acceleration of the S/4HANA transformation to the Azure Cloud through automation and specialized data visualization. The proven, reliable methodology combined multiple projects – New GL, Business Partner and Unicode conversion – delivering clear advantages in terms of costs, system downtime and project runtimes.”

Together, AGIT and SNP are implementing a series of business-critical SAP S/4HANA transformation projects for the Astra Group of companies across the heavy equipment and automotive divisions in the region. Their collaboration focuses on business and IT transformation projects specific to SAP environments, providing a repeatable industry standard joint offering in the Astra Group and the Southeast Asian market.

Singapore, May 3, 2021 – SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE, a world-leading provider of software solutions for digital transformation processes and automated data migrations, has developed a new solution package for moving SAP landscapes to the cloud in a simple and predictable manner. The cloud migration package is based on the data transformation platform CrystalBridge^®, which automates the migration of SAP systems to the cloud, therefore providing a fast and secure move. The package includes all costs that are necessary for a successful data migration – software licenses and consulting services – and the fixed price ensures highly reliable planning. In addition, the package enables a particularly fast move to the cloud thanks to SNP’s flexible, software-based approach: Depending on the complexity and requirements, the time between the performing the assessment and gaining access to the migrated SAP systems in the cloud is often less than six months.

The cloud migration package is designed to map most diverse scenarios even with varying complexities. The package enables a 1:1 migration of SAP landscapes to the cloud (“lift and shift”) along with the necessary SAP upgrades of the ECC systems, operating system and database changes, and even Unicode conversions. The add-ons offered are a selective data migration to the cloud and a migration to SAP S/4HANA in a cloud environment, respectively. In addition, companies have the option to add downtime optimization and the creation of a proof of concept for a test system. If additional functions are required, the package can be supplemented with further services and software modules from SNP. The offer is aimed at both direct customers and partner companies, which can include the package in their offerings.

“Our end-to-end cloud migration package enables customers and partners to move to the cloud quickly, securely and in a highly automated manner with CrystalBridge^®,” says Gerald Faust, Managing Director & CEO, JAPAC, SNP Transformations SEA Pte Ltd. “We are confident that our fixed price package is the ideal solution for every SAP customer in the Asia Pacific Japan and Middle East region as it reduces complexity and enables delivering high business performance at the same time: customers benefit from highly reliable planning and won’t experience any unpleasant surprises during the migration project. With that companies get exactly the security they need to take the step into the cloud and the next step in order to become an intelligent enterprise.”

“Our primary goal in developing the cloud migration package was to provide customers and partners with simplified and risk-free approach” adds Tarik Husain, Vice President, Strategic Sales, JAPAC, SNP Transformations SEA Pte Ltd. “Partners can seamlessly integrate this package into their own offerings to provide users with an optimal end-to-end solution. At the same time, customers can see clear benefits from our unique approach. Many want to go to cloud but are concerned about risk, what interfaces they have, project timelines and even what the real cost benefits are. Our approach overcomes all these challenges. This provides a clear and simple path for moving to the cloud.”

The post SNP Offers Automated Solution Package for Moving to the Cloud appeared first on InsideSAP Asia.

Heidelberg, February 22, 2021 – Following the successful launch of “Cloud Move for Azure” last year, SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE will deepen its collaboration with Microsoft. The new standalone software component of the SNP data transformation platform CrystalBridge^® was developed in close cooperation with the cloud experts at Microsoft and has already been used in migration projects. This has led to results in a matter of days instead of weeks and therefore accelerated the assessment phase. The results have prompted Microsoft to expand its collaboration with SNP as its Preferred Partner for SAP on Azure migrations. In turn, Microsoft will be SNP’s preferred cloud provider.

Microsoft customers planning to move to the cloud can migrate their SAP systems quickly and with minimal risk using the new Cloud Move for Azure software as part of the highly automated CrystalBridge^® platform while also continuing to benefit from the results of joint development and project work in the future. Looking ahead, the agreement shows that the chosen path is the right one for customers and both partners alike: As part of the agreement, the two companies have therefore concluded far-reaching agreements with the aim of driving co-development, joint go-to-market initiatives, co-selling and delivery as well as leveraging the partner ecosystem for scaling and sustainable growth.

“The fact that Microsoft has chosen us as its Preferred Partner at a global level validates our work and our powerful software products, which we want to use to continuously drive the success of our customers,” says Michael Eberhardt, CEO of SNP. “In return, we chose Microsoft to be our preferred cloud provider because of their long-standing and extensive enterprise customer experience, the trusting collaboration between our organizations in the past few months, and their comprehensive portfolio for digital transformation. Additionally, we see a great level of trust in Microsoft and SNP from customers all over the world, especially in the SAP market. Together with Microsoft, we have set ambitious goals for the next three years and will continue to work together on our cloud migration solution to help Microsoft’s SAP customers throughout the world move to the Azure Cloud. It is an exciting project that we are very much looking forward to.”

Gerald Faust, Managing Director and CEO JAPAC, adds: “Predefined fixed-price packages for the initial Cloud Move for Azure assessments, subsequent proof of concepts, and the migration of SAP workloads will make the customer’s journey transparent in the future as well as shorten the transition period. Accordingly, companies can fully concentrate on getting the maximum benefit from their cloud conversion. The SNP BLUEFIELD approach, which makes it possible to move to Azure and to SAP S/4HANA at the same time, offers them an enormous advantage here. This is because it allows companies to quickly reap all the benefits of new technologies for their business processes.”

João Couto, Vice President for SAP Business Unit at Microsoft, explains: “We see a tremendous market opportunity to support SAP customers in accelerating their transformation journey to SAP S/4HANA and the cloud, and SNP is uniquely positioned to help in precisely this area. As a result, we have now chosen SNP as our Preferred Partner for moving SAP customers to the Azure Cloud quickly and securely. By leveraging SNP’s solutions and capabilities, we can provide our customers with a simplified and accelerated path to SAP S/4HANA on Azure. The integrated approach and close agreement between SAP, SNP and Microsoft provide SAP customers with extremely reliable planning and a highly automated solution, allowing them to focus on the real innovation potential and business opportunities created by SAP RISE, SAP S/4HANA and Azure as an intelligent platform.”
