The challenge

Prior to its S/4HANA brownfield migration, the client operated on a complex, fragmented data environment built on legacy BW, MS SQL, and Power BI platforms. Disconnected SAP and non-SAP data sources, inconsistent modeling approaches, and siloed analytics processes limited scalability, hindered unified reporting, and slowed insight delivery at a critical time. The prospect of re-platforming was needed, but the work required needed to be accelerated.

SAP analytics modernization enabled faster insights, simplified integrations, and scalable, real-time decision-making across S/4HANA and ECC environments.

Our approach

Protiviti delivered a comprehensive SAP analytics modernization, anchored by SAP Datasphere as the core platform. The team replatformed all existing data integrations to streamline data flow and improve consistency, while accelerating delivery through Protiviti’s proven methodology and pre-built content tailored for both S/4HANA and ECC environments. To further enhance data connectivity and enablement, the solution was supplemented with the ERP Data Engineering Studio, creating a scalable, future-ready analytics foundation.

Impact

The company is realizing measurable gains in speed, quality, and cost efficiency. Protiviti’s ERP Data Engineering Studio and pre-built content automate repetitive work and enforce standards, enabling content delivery in hours instead of days, accelerating asset creation by 20-40%, and reducing errors by 90%.
