Case Study: Ariel Corporation achieves accelerated S/4HANA migration and 3x faster testing with Worksoft

Ariel Corporation Speeds S/4HANA Migration with Process Capture and Test Automation from Worksoft

Ariel Corporation, the world’s largest manufacturer of separable reciprocating gas compressors (founded in 1966 with 400+ distribution locations across 100+ countries), faced a major IT challenge: migrate from SAP ECC 6.0 to S/4HANA while minimizing risk, shortening timelines, and gaining long‑term testing capabilities. Having planned the upgrade early, Ariel needed reliable process documentation and repeatable testing to ensure a smooth cutover.

Ariel implemented the Worksoft Connected Automation Platform for process capture and codeless test automation, building reusable scripts from their existing ECC processes. Because preparation began in 2018, tests that normally took 2–3 weeks were completed in under a week, regression suites ran multiple times per day to surface defects early, and the company moved its go‑live up by two months (to November 28, 2020), accelerating the migration and reducing risk.
