Driving success in the automotive industry with SAP consulting services

Navigating the twists and turns of the automotive industry comes with its fair share of challenges—supply chain disruptions, advancements in autonomous driving tech, and new market entrants. Cars are packed with sensors and technologies that need to be tightly integrated. At SNP, we get the complexities of this journey and offer SAP solutions customized to help you turn these challenges into opportunities, unlocking the potential of automotive data for long-term success.

Automotive companies generate massive volumes of data from vehicle sensors, production lines, customer interactions, and more. To keep operations running smoothly, downtimes must be minimized, especially during SAP projects.

Our unique approach at SNP focuses on reducing downtime to keep your business on track while implementing or upgrading SAP solutions. With 30 years of experience in SAP services, SNP has successfully completed various projects in the automotive industry – from M&A and S/4HANA transformations to data integrations and cloud migrations

Near zero downtime approach: Minimize business disruption during complex SAP migrations

Minimizing downtime is one of the biggest challenges for businesses undergoing SAP transformations, especially if they are operating in a 24/7 environment. SNP’s Near Zero Downtime (NZD) approach ensures minimal impact on both source and target systems by reducing technical downtime to anywhere from just a few hours to an entire weekend, depending on the system’s size. With advanced data slicing, delta migrations, and robust validation tools, SNP delivers an efficient and reliable migration experience tailored to your needs.

  • Minimal business disruption: Data is transferred in phases, keeping your systems mostly online. A final brief downtime window is used to make final adjustments before going live.
  • Enhanced accuracy: Tracks changes with database triggers and verifies data integrity using SNP Validate.
  • Flexible approach: Supports various transformation scenarios, including big bang and wave-based migrations.
