Case Study: BMW Group achieves lower IT infrastructure costs and faster SAP S/4HANA migration with SAP

Managing data volumes for an efficient and sustainable migration to RISE with SAP with expertise from SAP MaxAttention

BMW Group, the automotive manufacturer based in Munich, needed better transparency and control over enterprise-wide data volumes to support a smooth migration to RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition. The company also wanted to right-size its new IT infrastructure and avoid high in-memory computing requirements during the move, working with SAP MaxAttention and SAP HANA native storage extension.

SAP implemented a custom data volume management approach using SAP MaxAttention services, SAP HANA native storage extension, and inverted individual indexes for archiving. The solution centralized and standardized data volume management for a clean core strategy, accelerated migration runtimes, and is expected to cut IT infrastructure costs by 25% and reduce in-memory database requirements by 50%, while also helping BMW Group lower infrastructure and energy consumption.
