Download Success Story

The Challenge

As part of the group-wide "ONE STIHL" project, STIHL is successively introducing a harmonized process and system landscape based on the new SAP S/4HANA business suite at all of the group's locations. The project began with 15 STIHL sales companies, which had to be migrated from SAP R/3 to S/4HANA in a "big bang".

The Solution

SNP's software-based BLUEFIELD™ approach made it possible to combine all necessary tasks into a single project. In addition, the combination of several project tasks reduced the time frame of the overall project.

The Advantage

Conversion of companies from one controlling area per company to one global controlling area for all companies
Establishment of a new cost center structure
Harmonization of the ledgers and conversion to a uniform group currency
