Case Study: Prysmian Group achieves >66% faster system performance with SAP HANA

Migrating to the SAP HANA Platform with Help from SAP ActiveEmbedded and SAP Consulting

Prysmian Group, a 140‑year‑old leader in energy and telecom cables with 19,000 employees across 50 countries, needed a state‑of‑the‑art IT platform to keep operations and customer responsiveness aligned with growing traffic and market demands. The company’s goals were to accelerate and simplify processes, improve system response times, and enable faster business reactions while modernizing its SAP landscape.

Prysmian worked with SAP Consulting and SAP ActiveEmbedded to migrate SAP ERP and SAP Supply Chain Management to the SAP HANA platform, move applications to a new data center, optimize custom code, and use mission‑critical support for rapid issue resolution. The migration delivered major benefits — >66% faster performance, 45% higher user satisfaction, significant time savings on transactions, a 20% cut in development costs, and a 12% reduction in project duration — while improving system robustness and lowering process criticality.
