Case Study: Hindustan Zinc Limited achieves 50% downtime reduction and 77% data compression with SAP HANA

Embracing Innovation with SAP® Business Suite powered by SAP HANA®

Hindustan Zinc Limited, a Mumbai-based subsidiary of Vedanta and a leading miner of refined zinc, lead, and silver, faced an aging, non‑Unicode ERP with limited capacity, high downtime and poor performance that blocked innovation and a move to the cloud or SAP S/4HANA.

Working with InfraBeat and SAP’s ActiveAttention and Integrated Delivery Framework, the company migrated to SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA, delivering the ~5 TB database conversion on time. The project cut system downtime by 50%, compressed data 77% (6.5 TB to 1.5 TB) and reduced memory use a further 40% to ~900 GB with HANA native storage extension, improved reporting performance, and created a cloud‑ready foundation for RISE with SAP S/4HANA—completed on time and on budget.
