Case Study: IXM achieves zero-downtime SAP BusinessObjects migration and faster reports with ELEKS

IXM improves report refresh times by 20% with Eleks

IXM, a Swiss-based global metal trading enterprise, faced the challenge of upgrading and migrating its SAP BusinessObjects platform without disrupting its critical daily trading operations. They engaged Eleks for this complex technical migration, which was part of a larger transformation program and required deep expertise in enterprise applications.

Eleks executed an on-premise migration from SAP BusinessObjects 3.0 to 4.2, which included switching the database from Oracle to MSSQL and transferring all user data. The team implemented a new three-fold backup system and meticulously tested over 1,500 reports to ensure a seamless switchover with zero trading downtime. The results for IXM included a 20% improvement in report refresh times and significantly enhanced system stability, leading to reduced need for issue support.
