Global Equipment Manufacturer Migrates 100+ SAP BTP Applications to Cloud Foundry for Enhanced Performance and Future Scalability
A global heavy equipment manufacturer has been leveraging SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) since 2017, starting with a Dealer Portal and expanding into multiple critical business areas, including warranty, pricing, finance, and materials management. Over time, SAP BTP became a central pillar of their IT strategy, hosting over 100 applications that extend their on-premise SAP ERP environment.
"By proactively migrating from SAP BTP Neo to Cloud Foundry, customer not only ensured seamless business continuity but also unlocked new performance capabilities and cost efficiencies. With over 100 applications successfully transitioned, the optimized BTP landscape is now future-proofed for continued innovation and scalability."
BUSINESS CHALLENGE:
Despite the success of their SAP BTP implementation, the company faced two major challenges:
- Impending Decommissioning of SAP BTP Neo – Their applications were running on BTP Neo, which is scheduled for decommissioning in 2028, requiring a migration to BTP Cloud Foundry (CF).
- Performance and Capability Limitations – Neo had performance constraints and lacked access to the latest BTP innovations available in Cloud Foundry, limiting future scalability and efficiency.
SOLUTION:
Redfig executed a 4-month Cloud Foundry Migration Project, successfully converting all 100+ applications from BTP Neo to BTP Cloud Foundry while optimizing the overall BTP landscape. The migration involved:
- Re-architecting applications to run efficiently on Cloud Foundry.
- Optimizing infrastructure to improve performance and reduce redundancy.
- Leveraging new BTP capabilities, including improved integration, security, and automation features.
- Streamlining their BTP landscape, leading to better performance and lower software costs.
RESULTS:
- 100+ applications successfully migrated with minimal business disruption.
- Improved application performance, reducing latency and enhancing user experience.
- Lower software costs due to a more optimized and consolidated BTP environment.
- Future-proofed SAP BTP strategy, ensuring continued innovation and long-term platform viability.
- Safeguarded investment with minimal rework transitioning to a Clean Core strategy to prepare for S/4HANA migration
