In October 2021, SAP and IBM collaborated for the launch of BREAKTHROUGH with IBM — IBM’s complementary solution to the German tech giant’s Business Transformation as a Service (BTaaS) milestone offering — which is a package of existing consulting services intended to help enterprises advance their journeys to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, an intelligent enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The BREAKTHROUGH with IBM for RISE with SAP offering includes key components that are meant to help expedite the migration to SAP S/4HANA. These features include an improved data quality evaluation, translation, process optimization, and code or infrastructure upgrade.

This month, data management software and services company Syniti partnered with IBM in launching a new solution called IBM Data Readiness Assessment with Syniti Knowledge Platform which contributes to the common objective of speeding digital transformation and fostering continuous innovation by laying a foundation of clean and high-quality data. The two companies believe that the key to a successful transformation project is having a solid understanding of the quality status of data as well as its level of completion before moving to SAP S/4HANA.

According to them, customers have the ability to measure the required services and amount of time in order to maximize performance and potentially cut costs on required cloud infrastructure. Allan Coulter, Global Chief Technology Officer for SAP Services at IBM, explained that to ensure a smooth transition to SAP S/4HANA, companies must have full confidence that they are working with data of the highest possible quality. He added:

“Through our work with Syniti we can bring to our clients a solution that enables them to better prepare for adopting SAP S/4HANA with modernized code, process and data capabilities that drive the foundation for continuous innovation.”

Simplifying the Steps to Migrating to SAP S/4HANA

The Syniti Knowledge Platform is a centralized and unified solution that provides assistance for the data management strategy of an organization, including the management of compliance and data optimization, as well as the transition to SAP S/4HANA. Last year, Syniti was placed as a Visionary in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Solutions and was designated in the 2021 Master Data Management and 2020 Metadata Management reports — made possible by the firm’s Syniti Knowledge Platform which provides services to a strong Global 2000 client base and major alliance partners.

Noting that having a clean core necessitates having clean data, Rex Ahlstrom, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Growth and Innovation at Syniti, mentioned that the company successfully completed the migration of thousands of businesses to SAP systems over the course of the last decade. Commenting on Syniti’s partnership with IBM, he stated:

“Working with IBM, we’ll be able to help more customers prepare for their migration to SAP S/4HANA easily to help ensure data integrity – setting them up for success with future digital transformation efforts.”

Customers can have the following benefits when implementing the IBM Data Readiness Assessment with Syniti Knowledge Platform:

• A platform that helps speed up initiatives, including ones that are currently in progress, and that also reduces the risk associated with several projects.
• A solution that covers every aspect of the process from beginning to end and that utilizes all of the rules provided by the digital platform in order to speed up and automate the migration.
• Pre-built data quality analyses and dashboards accessible to help identify efficiency gains, cashflow, and profit and loss (P&L) improvements.

Thrilled to be expanding Syniti’s collaboration with IBM, Kevin Campbell, Chief Executive Officer at Syniti, said that they are eager to strengthen their work with IBM, particularly in regard to the mission-critical imperative of beginning with reliable, high-quality data. He added:

“Leveraging the innovation and transformation expertise of IBM with the proven capabilities of the Syniti Knowledge Platform will deliver a win-win to our joint customers looking to become intelligent enterprises.”

Leading data transformation and optimisation provider Syniti has recently reinforced its silo-free enterprise data management platform, Syniti Knowledge Platform along with other updates on Syniti Advanced Data Migration. Several upgrades were made to cover the pressing need for a streamlined, efficient data transformation journey for enterprises.

Syniti Knowledge Platform is a centralised, unified solution that supports an organisation’s data management strategy– from SAP S/4HANA migration to managing compliance and data optimisation. Underpinned by the company’s evolved Syniti Knowledge Platform that caters to a strong Global 2000 customer base and key alliance partners, Syniti was positioned as a Visionary in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Solutions and was named in the 2021 Master Data Management and 2020 Metadata Management reports.

Gordon Lam, President of Syniti Asia Pacific and Japan, highlighted how data has become invaluable to organisations at a time when digital transformation is accelerating at an all-time high rate. He explained:

“APAC businesses that pivoted during the pandemic will continue to evolve and leverage data to remain competitive in the rapidly changing business landscape. Syniti remains committed to enabling businesses to stay ahead of their data management curve to harness the true value from data.”

Reinforcing Syniti Advanced Data Migration Software

One of the major upgrades in the Syniti solutions portfolio is the launch of Syniti Migrate, a fully cloud-based version of Syniti Advanced Data Migration designed to empower customers to better manage their data and accelerate digital transformation.

The solution’s modern and cloud-first architecture enables companies to optimise data with increased security by allowing them to decide on a preferred environment for data migration staging and deployment options. The cloud-enabled Syniti Migrate offers enterprise customers and partners enhanced intelligent code auto-generation, metadata scanning, and profiling as well as faster delivery of higher quality data during migration.

Sharing about the Syniti Migrate product development, Syniti CEO Kevin Campbell said:

“We took millions of human hours, our best practices and years of experience in data migrations, to make our original data migration platform. What we’ve done here is take what is arguably the best migration solution on the planet and made it faster and more secure, so our customers realise both short and long-term benefits in their transformation efforts.”

The new solution, which is part of the Syniti Knowledge Platform, not only supports enterprise customers’ pivotal migration but also consolidation projects including SAP S/4HANA migrations, mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures– essentially delivering faster time to value. Syniti Migrate is positioned to be resold by the firm’s key partners as SAP Advanced Data Migration by Syniti and be used by Syniti’s data-focused team and global partner ecosystem. 

SAP and Syniti Advancing Migration

In 2019, Syniti launched the cloud edition of SAP Advanced Data Migration by Syniti, which embeds artificial intelligence, machine learning, and process automation to advance data transformation, at Big Data World Singapore. The solution leverages the Syniti 8-step process as well as AI to ensure customers capture knowledge across their data migration with a faster time to value and 100% data quality.

Following the successful launch of SAP’s Business Transformation as a Service offering RISE with SAP in 2021, SAP Advanced Data Migration by Syniti has become a preferred solution extension for RISE projects apart from being the only SAP premium-certified, cloud-based product for data migration. Japanese company Marubeni Corporation, a major integrated investment and trading business conglomerate, is one of the enterprises that have recently selected RISE with SAP leveraging Syniti’s SAP Advanced Data Migration together with Tricentis’ SAP Application Testing Solutions.
