Case Study: Grupa Azoty achieves 3x faster profitability reporting and 30% smaller SAP BW database with SAP HANA

Optimizing SAP Application Upgrades with SAP Enterprise Support

Grupa Azoty, one of Europe’s largest producers of nitrogen and compound fertilizers, needed world-class IT to support international growth and new subsidiaries. The company faced the challenge of upgrading its SAP ERP and migrating to SAP HANA while improving process performance, tightening security, reducing database footprint, and controlling costs.

Using SAP Enterprise Support services—dedicated expert sessions, continuous quality checks, custom-code maintainability checks and expert-on-demand—Grupa Azoty streamlined the upgrade and migration. Results included a 30% reduction in SAP BW database size, profitability-analysis reports running three times faster, a 20% saving on innovation-discovery training, reduced test scope and faster innovation enablement with lower consultancy costs and improved security.
