Key challenges
Upgrading from S/4HANA 1909 to the latest version, 2022, was necessary as its mainstream support ends in December 2024.
This upgrade prevents incurring additional annual maintenance costs and ensures continued support.
The upgrade would provide opportunities to adopt newer innovations for Momentive's existing businesses and planned acquisitions while ensuring alignment with SAP's support and release strategy.
The client acquired 2 hi-tech plants specializing in quartz in Japan in late 2022 to expand their business. Upgrading S/4HANA before the acquired entities are implemented into the system was crucial to minimize additional test cycles and change management efforts for the new entity transitioning from SAP ECC & legacy ERP into S/4HANA 2022.
