Client Overview
A global manufacturing leader faced significant technical roadblocks in evolving their legacy SAP landscape. Their systems were hampered by outdated infrastructure and repeated failed migration attempts, restricting growth and innovation. Our team stepped in to stabilize and modernize the client’s application environment, paving the way for scalability and new feature development.
The Challenge
Before CyberTech’s involvement, the client’s IT landscape was in a critical state:
- Outdated Architecture: The application ran on a legacy SAP setup with deprecated libraries
- Incompatible Infrastructure: Systems were not aligned with SAP HANA Cloud or BTP (Business Technology Platform)
- Disorganized Migration Attempts: Previous internal migration efforts had left the environment unstable and incoherent
- No Documentation: The lack of any technical documentation significantly increased complexity for troubleshooting and future development
- Broken Development Environments: Non-functional development and quality systems hindered any enhancement or testing of new features
These issues collectively prevented the global manufacturing giant from introducing new functionality or maintaining system stability.
The Solution
CyberTech designed and implemented a comprehensive modernization strategy:
- Library Upgrades: Replaced deprecated components with versions compatible with SAP BTP
- Code Refactoring: Adjusted application logic to align with modern frameworks and platforms
- SAP HANA Cloud Integration: Migrated the core application to SAP HANA Cloud for improved performance, scalability, and maintainability
- SAP BTP Utilization: Established a future-proof, scalable infrastructure using SAP BTP services
- HDI Containers: Adopted containerized HDI deployments to streamline management and improve modularity of database artifacts
Implementation Approach
CyberTech executed the project in well-defined phases
Challenges Addressed
- Lack of Documentation: CyberTech reverse-engineered the application to uncover hidden dependencies and business logic
- Disorganized Environment: Cleaned up remnants of failed migrations and restructured the system for clarity and stability
- Compatibility Issues: Resolved library conflicts through upgrades and code adjustments
- Limited Functional Insight: Collaborated with stakeholders and users to validate functionality and ensure continuity
Results & Benefits
- Stabilized Systems: Development and quality environments were restored and optimized
- Enhanced Agility: The client could resume enhancements and build new features confidently
- Improved Reliability: The system was now robust and better aligned with industry standards
- Future-Ready Architecture: A scalable and maintainable platform on SAP HANA Cloud and BTP was established
Conclusion
CyberTech’s intervention enabled the client to overcome long-standing technical debt and system limitations. The project delivered a stabilized, scalable SAP environment, empowering the company to innovate and expand its digital capabilities with confidence. By leveraging modern tools and a structured approach, CyberTech set the organization on a path toward sustainable growth in a rapidly evolving marketplace.
