Case Study: SAP achieves compliance and rapid ECC patching with Planit

Professionally managing and implementing the patching of a critical ERP system with minimal disruption to day-to-day operation

The government organization faced a challenge with its SAP ERP Central Component (ECC), which had fallen out of legal compliance due to a long-standing strategy of delaying patches. This situation required a significant and rapid upgrade project involving over 8,000 fixes to meet new tax office regulations, with minimal disruption to its critical operations. They engaged Planit for its SAP testing and staff augmentation services to ensure the upgrade was successful.

Planit implemented a risk-based testing strategy to validate the massive patch, focusing on critical business processes. The team utilized test automation to drive efficiencies, achieving a 98% system integration test execution rate in just seven days. This success ensured the system was compliant on deadline and led to a long-term partnership, with the government organization extending its contract with Planit for an additional two years to manage ongoing SAP patching and compliance projects.
