Case Study: WAGO Kontakttechnik accelerates S/4HANA conversion and optimizes database performance with SAP HANA

How Can Tailored Advice and Reports Accelerate the Journey to an Intelligent Enterprise

WAGO Kontakttechnik GmbH & Co. KG, a Minden, Germany–based high-tech company (8,500 employees, €954M revenue), set out to build an intelligent ERP backbone as part of its move to SAP S/4HANA. To run the conversion in-house, the company needed help preparing and executing the project, improving database performance, and cleaning up unused custom code to reduce complexity and cost.

Partnering with SAP Enterprise Support and the SAP Enterprise Support Advisory Council, WAGO used “journey check” reports, continuous quality checks for finance and technical conversion, and targeted meet‑the‑expert sessions to validate plans, decommission redundant custom code, and optimize SAP HANA throughput. The tailored advice, tools, and trainings accelerated readiness for the conversion, reduced technical risks, and gave the team confidence they were following best practices while saving time and money.
