Case Study: Handtmann achieves rapid cloud ERP transformation with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition and SAP Services and Support

How Handtmann’s shift into the cloud was successful thanks to the expertise of SAP Preferred Success

Handtmann, a global industrial manufacturing company with 4,500 employees, wanted to accelerate its IT and business transformation by moving to cloud-based ERP. The challenge was ambitious: migrate five complex global IT landscapes to the cloud and upgrade its existing ERP system in a single weekend, without disrupting parallel system rollouts in other countries. Handtmann turned to SAP, using SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, RISE with SAP, and SAP Services and Support.

SAP helped Handtmann successfully migrate all five system landscapes to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition in just six months, ahead of schedule. The project delivered cloud architecture and operational support, enabled the ERP upgrade without interrupting international rollouts, and created a foundation for future cloud solutions—all while staying within time and budget constraints.
