Case Study: Yancoal improves operational efficiency with Lemongrass SAP S/4HANA on RISE conversion

Yancoal completes SAP S/4HANA on RISE conversion in 5 months with Lemongrass

Yancoal, Australia's largest pure-play coal producer, faced the challenge of converting its SAP ECC6 system to SAP S/4HANA on RISE within a compressed five-month timeframe. This complex migration, prompted by an expiring cloud contract, involved significant technical hurdles, including new solution architecture, extensive testing, and user training. To address this, Yancoal engaged a consortium including vendor Lemongrass for its technical conversion expertise.

Lemongrass executed a phased "Lift & Shift" conversion using SAP's standard methodology and tools, which included a detailed Runbook and a trial production conversion to mitigate risk. The solution was successfully implemented, and Lemongrass provided hypercare support post-go-live. As a result, Yancoal now operates on a modern SAP architecture with a simplified support model, enabling improved operational efficiency, a streamlined IT landscape, and a platform for digital transformation.
