REGION

K2 quickly built a world-class team of SAP Basis Consultants to manage the migration, and provide 24/7 technical support for incident resolution, continuous improvements, and maintenance.

One of the largest food companies in the world, this U.S.-based client operates in more than 80 countries and aimed to modernize its EMEA operations with a seamless SAP S/4HANA migration support program. The client partnered with K2 to build a specialized team that would drive efficiency, reduce costs, and support long-term growth.

Challenge

The client’s EMEA operations needed a team of SAP S/4HANA specialists to ensure a smooth transition from an on-premise ERP to a cloud-based platform. Designed to improve operational efficiency, the S/4HANA migration was part of a 10-year plan to double the size of the business without significantly increasing headcount and costs.

The organization’s digital transformation unit was under pressure to deliver the migration, but lacked internal S/4HANA specialists, leading them to enlist K2’s support due to our impressive technical expertise and ability to overcome severe shortages of SAP talent.

Solution

K2 quickly built a world-class team of SAP Basis Consultants to manage the migration and provide 24/7 technical support for incident resolution, continuous improvements, and maintenance. The K2 team boasted a highly specialized skill set, including:

Moreover, K2’s team also spearheaded integration with the company’s ServiceNow platform, unlocking efficiencies in new areas like research, finance, commercial services, and security.
