Case Study: Heineken achieves centralized global ERP data insights with Lemongrass and SAP BW 4 HANA on AWS

Heineken centralizes 50 SAP environments with Lemongrass to speed global reporting

Heineken, a global brewer with over 80 independent operating companies, faced a challenge in unifying siloed ERP datasets from its decentralized operations. This fragmentation caused long lead times for global reporting and analytics. To support its digital transformation and EverGreen strategy, Heineken engaged Lemongrass, an AWS Partner, to build a cost-effective and scalable centralized data solution using SAP BW/4HANA on AWS.

Working with Lemongrass, Heineken implemented the B1 Analytics Enablement Platform. This solution seamlessly integrated tens of terabytes of data from dozens of ERP and enterprise applications into a single, secure environment. The results included greatly improved visibility for sustainability reporting, the ability for operating companies to perform self-service analytics, and a massive reduction in the time to develop and deploy global solutions—from 9 months to just a few weeks. Lemongrass helped Heineken unlock business-critical insights to optimize operations.
