Case Study: Nucor Vulcraft modernizes IT and accelerates reporting with SAP HANA

Nucor Vulcraft Modernizing the IT Environment with SAP HANA

Nucor Vulcraft, a manufacturer of steel joists and decking and a subsidiary of Nucor, needed to modernize its IT environment. The longstanding SAP customer sought to store persistent data and conduct custom trend analysis after moving its core SAP ERP application to the SAP HANA platform.

To address this, SAP implemented a solution that embedded the existing SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW) application on the same SAP HANA database. This provided a cost-effective and timely modernization. The results were significant, including data load times reduced from 4 hours to 45 seconds and a dramatic 85% data compression rate. Nucor Vulcraft's executives now have instant access to dashboards with real-time sales and project data, positioning the company for future growth.
