Case Study: Oryx GTL achieves rapid S/4HANA migration and faster business insights with Microsoft Azure

Cloud helps Qatari energy innovator accelerate digital transformation

Oryx Gas-to-Liquids (GTL), a high-tech synthetic fuel plant in Qatar co-owned by Qatar Petroleum and Sasol, needed faster, more powerful analytics to deliver vital business reports and management insights. A planned migration from SAP NetWeaver to SAP HANA/S/4HANA was being held up by legacy server limitations and long hardware lead times, threatening delays to the transformation project.

Local partner Tyconz moved Oryx GTL onto Microsoft Azure using virtual machines, enabling the HANA migration to start in just 10 days instead of months. The cloud solution delivered scalability, strong compliance and uptime guarantees, and outsourced system management so IT could focus on business value; integrating Microsoft Power BI sped up report development and adoption, improving management visibility and satisfaction across the company.
