Case Study: OMV achieves rapid acquisition integration and doubled New Zealand gas production with SAP HANA

How OMV is doubling capacity and driving growth with SAP S/4HANA

OMV Group, a Vienna‑based oil and gas company (25,000 employees, €17 billion revenue), needed to complete a complex acquisition of nine legal entities—more than 250 employees and multimillion‑dollar shared assets—within seven months while also testing SAP S/4HANA to prepare for a broader replacement of its legacy SAP ERP system.

IBM Services and SAP delivered SAP S/4HANA on SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud using IBM’s “impact methodology” and a dedicated IBM–OMV–SAP team to configure, test and deploy the solution. The system went live in seven months, provided single‑solution management of the new assets, doubled natural‑gas production capacity in New Zealand, improved financial reporting, data quality, automation and process efficiency, and maintained full business continuity from day one.
