CASE STUDY: Global consumer goods organization

Challenge
The client had several existing
BW deployments which were
implemented over a 10 year
period. Recent times had seen
a considerable change in the
business, consequently, the
organization was restructuring
to address the opportunities
much more effectively. This
reorganization needed change
in the BI landscape as they
needed to measure different
metrics to the past and use non-
ERP data much more than their
current BI solution enabled.
They had decided to leverage
SAP HANA. With a goal of being
transformational, they decided
to re-implement the entire
solution. However, this would
take time and more importantly
needed greater time from users,
who were already quite busy
and stretched.
Solution
HCL carried out an analysis
of the current BI solution
Benefits to customer:
and its usage. Based on
this analysis, an approach • 35% lower cost of
combining transformational implementation
BI and functional migration compared to a full
was devised. This approach re-implementation
resulted in some areas seeing
a full re-implementation • 30% of information
where an information area in
areas migrated on to
the existing solution was not
deemed as appropriate for the SAP HANA almost
future. All information areas 12 months ahead of
that were deemed ‘fit-for- original plan
purpose’ would be migrated to
the new BI on HANA solution • 100% of the new
manually incorporating the solution will comply
new architectural patterns to new BI on HANA
that were enabled by running
BI on SAP HANA.
