Case Study: Metso achieves faster reporting and scalable cloud agility with SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud

Enabling Digital Transformation with SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud

Metso, a Finnish industrial machinery and components company with 11,000 employees, needed a more flexible, scalable IT platform to support digital transformation, improve reporting performance, and enable new service offerings. The company chose to move its on‑premise SAP landscape to SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud to gain the capacity and agility required for future innovation.

Metso migrated all core SAP systems to SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud in about five months using extensive user testing, close collaboration with SAP Consulting, and SAP Rapid Deployment solutions. The move delivered major performance gains—materials‑requirements processes and data uploads run about 2x faster and reports that once took an hour now finish in ~20 minutes—while providing on‑demand scalability, enhanced reporting capabilities, managed services, and improved disaster recovery.
