Warburtons have been selected as the Bronze Winner of the SAP UKI Quality Awards in the Transformation category for their migration to SAP Business Suite on HANA. Implemented by SAP Consultancy, Edenhouse Solutions, SAP’s Quality Awards celebrates and recognises businesses who have excelled in the implementation of their SAP solution.

Looking to safeguard their future, Warburtons turned to multi-award winning consultancy, Edenhouse Solutions to migrate their business to SAP Business Suite on HANA, a solution which would support their ambitious growth and development plans.

With years’ of experience of working with food and drink manufacturing businesses, Edenhouse Solutions were keen to ensure that the migration caused minimum disruption to Warburtons’ business.

The SAP Consultancy worked directly with SAP to find a resolution, and in a UK first, Warburtons was accepted as a pilot to test the SAP Optimised DMO SUM tool. A tool designed to optimise migration performance and reduce downtime, which reduced Warburtons’ overall downtime from 35 hours down to 15 hours.

Ian Mallinson, IT Director at Warburton’s, commented: “Since our migration we’ve taken advantage of the obvious speed improvements. Now, thanks to SAP Business Suite on HANA, things that used to take hours now take minutes, things that used to take minutes now take seconds. It is making us think about what else we might do, we need to further exploit the value of Business Suite on HANA and start our journey to S/4HANA.”
