SAP SE Announces Successful Launch of SAP S/4HANA and SAP BW/4HANA at Seagate Technology Holdings plc
SAP SE announced today the successful launch of SAP S/4HANA and the SAP BW/4HANA solution at Seagate Technology Holdings plc, a leading innovator of mass-capacity data storage solutions. This initiative marks a significant step in Seagate’s digital transformation journey, bringing advanced functionalities to its enterprise resource planning system and benefiting nearly 30,000 global employees. The implementation integrates global manufacturing, supply chain, and finance business processes.
Back in 2021, Seagate embarked on a transformational path, transitioning from legacy systems to embrace SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, and SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain. Seagate’s decision to choose SAP solutions was driven by the close alignment of SAP’s strategy with its own goal of implementing a foundational platform for scalability and growth.
Recognizing the limitations of its existing ERP system, Seagate’s leadership sought an integrated platform that could keep up with evolving business models. SAP solutions addressed these challenges with an integrated ERP landscape featuring centralized business rules and roles. The implementation aims to enable unified global reporting, overcoming hurdles posed by diverse data repositories and laying the foundation for scalable growth while minimizing total cost of ownership.
The go-live phase of the implementation was executed efficiently, without any operational disruptions, demonstrating SAP’s commitment to a seamless transition. Seagate relied on the SAP Value Assurance program, emphasizing the effectiveness of collaboration, while leveraging cloud application services for pre-go-live testing ensured a robust launch.
Moving to SAP S/4HANA brings significant improvements for Seagate in supply chain management, manufacturing execution, and ongoing transformation. This successful go-live emphasizes the transformative power of SAP’s innovative solutions and strategic guidance in driving digital transformation for its customers.
