As part of its broader digital transformation strategy, Al-Futtaim Automotive, a division of Al-Futtaim, partnered with SNP and IBM to modernize and future-proof its SAP environment. The project involved converting a 16-terabyte SAP ECC system to SAP S/4HANA, an initiative of significant scale and complexity. Despite this, the transformation was completed ahead of schedule in August 2025, with only 30.5 hours of technical downtime.

“This project showcases what can be achieved when deep expertise and partnership come together,” says Jens Amail, CEO of SNP SE. “I am humbled to meet our partners at Al-Futtaim Group here in Dubai to celebrate this milestone together. Their trust in SNP underscores our commitment to the region, supporting their growth journey as they embrace digital transformation.”

Himanshu Shrivastava, Chief Technology Officer of Al-Futtaim, comments: “This transformation represents a critical enabler of Al-Futtaim’s long-term strategic agenda. By establishing a unified SAP S/4HANA digital core, we are strengthening the foundations of our enterprise, enhancing data-driven decision-making, and positioning our businesses to scale with greater agility. This milestone reflects our commitment to building a future-ready organization powered by strong partnerships and world-class technology.”
