Case Study: Lexmark minimizes migration risk and accelerates digital transformation with SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud

How Can a Business Plan a Major Migration that Minimizes Risk and Maximizes Innovation

Lexmark International, a Lexington, Kentucky–based high-tech company with about 7,800 employees, needed a secure, scalable foundation to support its business evolution, simplify processes, and enable a finance transformation. The company faced the challenge of planning a major migration that minimized operational risk while maximizing opportunities for innovation as it prepared to move to SAP S/4HANA.

By partnering with SAP Enterprise Support and using SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, Lexmark developed a tailored conversion roadmap, leveraged value maps and training, and ran continuous quality checks for system and process optimization. The migration was completed safely, cutting available‑to‑promise processing time by 50%, establishing infrastructure-as-a-service readiness for S/4HANA, and positioning the company to deploy SAP Fiori apps and other innovations for simplified processes and real‑time insights.
