Case Study: Johnsonville achieves a fast, low-risk SAP S/4HANA conversion with SAP Value Assurance

Mastering Tradition by Leading the Innovation Wave with SAP S/4HANA

Johnsonville, a consumer products company specializing in protein-based food products, faced the challenge of converting from SAP ERP Central Component to SAP S/4HANA within a strict 72-hour downtime window. The goal was to minimize changes for users and eliminate legacy reports to better support the company's future growth strategies. To accomplish this, they turned to the vendor SAP for its solutions and expertise.

SAP implemented its SAP S/4HANA core software and utilized SAP Value Assurance service packages to mitigate risk and set up a new environment. The project was completed on schedule and within budget, making Johnsonville the first company in North America to convert to SAP S/4HANA. This solution from SAP provided increased confidence in the project, an improved ability to scale the innovation platform, and decreased project-related risks, all without unnecessary spending on licensing or implementation.
