Data management & transformation

Carve out & divestitures

Data can shape the deal

Whether you need to spin off a specific geographical operation or compliantly carve out the data operations for a company sale, how you manage the data is key. When data is managed manually in these processes, it’s easy for mistakes to creep in and the timelines to stretch into weeks and months. Getting an accurate picture of the data you’re dealing with is critical. By running a system scan, you can get an in-depth overview of the data across multiple systems in a single day.

Automating tedious data transformation tasks can not only speed up the process so you can complete complicated divestitures quickly, but you can be sure the data is being handled compliantly.

Time-critical carve-out drives restructuring program at SHW Automotive

The SHW Group stands for intelligent manufacturing in the automotive sector and is experiencing rising demand. To drive this development going forward, the company needed to transform its Powder Metallurgy business segment into a separate legal entity. Technically speaking, they needed to spin off the existing SAP system at the company code level. SNP delivered the audit-proof solution quickly and with minimized system downtime.

Carve-out, S/4 migration and cloud move in a single step at BSW Timber

Following the sale of the Building and Supply Solutions division of SCA Wood UK, there was a requirement to carve-out the divested entities and associated data from SCA’s global SAP ECC system into a new dedicated SAP system for BSW on Azure Cloud. Due to the tight timelines associated with the transitional service agreement (TSA), the initial requirement was to provide BSW with a 1:1 carve-out from ECC to ECC followed by a later project to perform a Brownfield upgrade to S/4HANA post-divestment. During the early stages of the project, BSW expressed concerns about having multiple business downtimes and disruptions for the carve-out and Brownfield projects respectively. As a result, and on the recommendation of SNP, the project evolved into a BLUEFIELD™ carve-out to S/4HANA, which enables the carve-out, migration to S/4HANA and move to the cloud all combined in a single project with one set of testing and a single go-live.

Evonik breaks new ground with carve-out from S/4 to S/4

Evonik planned to set up an independent superabsorbents business (plastics capable of absorbing many times their own weight in liquids) to pave the way for a sale. This involved separating the business from the existing SAP S/4HANA system and transferring it to a separate client. The goal was therefore a carve-out from and to SAP S/4HANA: Evonik broke new ground with this project, as it was one of the first SAP S/4HANA carve-outs in the market. Another challenge was that internal IT projects such as release changes and upgrades had to be carried out at the same time.
