Case Study: Vorwerk achieves a seamless SAP S/4HANA cloud migration with Cognizant

Vorwerk Group migrates 200 interfaces to SAP S/4HANA and the cloud with Cognizant in one weekend

Vorwerk Group, a family-owned manufacturer of premium appliances like Thermomix and Kobold, needed to migrate its business-critical, on-premises SAP sales and order management system to a more agile and scalable platform. The challenge was a complex dual migration to SAP S/4HANA and the cloud, which involved harmonizing financial processes and moving 20 years of data without disrupting 1,600 sales professionals across Europe.

Cognizant implemented a bluefield migration strategy, partnering with SNP Group to safely move the data and nearly 200 interfaces to the Microsoft Azure cloud. The solution was delivered in 18 months and cut over in a single weekend with near-zero downtime. This provided Vorwerk with a future-proof platform that seamlessly handles sales peaks and accelerates reporting, all while ensuring zero disruption for its 100,000 sales advisors.
