Case Study: Maple Leaf Foods achieves 88 TB storage reduction and $1M+ cost savings with Syniti

How BackOffice Associates helped Maple Leaf Foods eliminate over $1 million in anticipated future infrastructure costs

Maple Leaf Foods, a leading consumer protein company, faced a complex divestiture challenge when it sold its Canada Bread division and needed to remove Canada Bread data from intermingled SAP systems (ECC6, SRM, CRM, EWM) without deleting any Maple Leaf Foods data and while preserving historical records. To address this, Maple Leaf engaged Syniti and used Syniti’s Data Stewardship Platform alongside its professional services expertise to manage the automated, quality‑assured carve-out.

Syniti assessed the SAP landscape, executed targeted archiving and deletion workflows, and coordinated with audit teams to ensure compliance. Over a one‑year engagement Syniti removed 57% of production data—more than 45 billion records and 88 TB of storage—resulting in over $1M in anticipated infrastructure savings, faster backups, improved QA/test environment copies, and readiness for SAP S/4HANA adoption.
