Challenge

An oil and gas services company with over 50 years of industry experience, was managing a complex on-premise SAP landscape spanning multiple environments and versions. They needed to modernize critical components while maintaining business continuity, ensuring regulatory compliance, and preparing for future S/4HANA adoption. Core challenges included:

  • Outdated hardware and OS (Windows 2008/2012 R2)

  • SAP systems spread across ECC, SRM, BW, PI, EP, BI, and Solution Manager

  • Legacy database version (Sybase ASE) and infrastructure limitations

  • Gaps in disaster recovery and VAT compliance across regions

Solution

SureStep SAP engineers executed a tightly orchestrated transformation to modernize the client's landscape, address compliance needs, and lay the groundwork for future migration to S/4HANA. Working across systems, infrastructure, and regions, they:

  • Performed SAP system EHP upgrades and database version/service pack upgrades

  • Migrated infrastructure from old on-premise hardware to newer on-premise systems

  • Implemented SSO and FIORI Gateway landscape

  • Built out SAP EP and Adobe Document Services (ADS) environments

  • Enabled VAT compliance to support global customer operations

  • Set up cloud-based DR environment

  • Conducted S/4HANA readiness check for future conversion planning

Outcome

This geoscience service provider now runs a more stable, compliant, and future-ready SAP environment. Project benefits included:

  • Improved security, user access, and interface experiences

  • Infrastructure modernization without disruption

  • DR in place and validated for business continuity

  • Confidence and technical groundwork laid for future S/4HANA conversion
