Case Study: Mercedes-Benz achieves faster, lower-risk ERP 6.0 upgrade with Panaya

Mercedes-Benz cuts testing, development, and planning by 50% with Panaya

Mercedes-Benz USA faced the challenge of upgrading its complex SAP environment from version 4.6C to ERP 6.0 entirely in-house. The team needed to avoid overtaxing its developers and functional teams while ensuring a seamless transition with no margin for error, as they would soon fall behind on maintenance if they stayed on their old system.

Using Panaya's Upgrade Automation solution, Mercedes-Benz streamlined its planning, development, and testing cycles. The results were significant: the company performed 50% less testing, development, and planning, reduced its testing cycles from three to one, and resolved 90% fewer issues. With Panaya, Mercedes-Benz completed the upgrade on time and on budget with zero go-live issues.
