German optics giant ditches greenfield SAP migration
'Realigned' project plan aims to move existing landscape to new platform to 'achieve faster progress'
Zeiss Group, a German optics company with a revenue of around €11.896 billion, has cancelled its plans for a comprehensive ERP migration to the latest S/4HANA platform from SAP. The decision comes after years of challenges in transitioning from an aging R/3 system. Instead, Zeiss opted for a "brownfield" migration, which involves moving its existing system to the new platform.
While SAP suggests that this approach can be difficult, costly, and time-consuming, the company believes it will enable a faster transformation and better cater to its diverse segments' requirements. The migration will see the existing ERP landscape transition to SAP S/4HANA, after which the segments will build upon this foundation with individually configured solutions.
