West Burton Energy is a combined cycle gas turbine power station. Following its acquisition by EIG, the company needed to separate its business operations from the EDF central SAP platform and migrate to a new SAP S/4HANA environment on the AWS cloud.

The requirement to carve out the West Burton Energy business from the EDF SAP ECC system was complex – it needed to include all historical data and the target was a new S/4HANA system. Business Partner conversion, New Asset Accounting and New GL were all mandatory along with changes to the chart of accounts and currency. And all within a 6-month project timeline. West Burton Energy engaged Xmateria to lead this ambitious data migration.

After starting with a discovery assessment to confirm the requirements and timelines, Xmateria recommended and deployed the Natuvion DCS landscape transformation software to deliver a rapid and precise carve-out of the divested business. This approach, coupled with a robust data migration methodology, provided the speed and performance required to meet the deadlines, and the capability to migrate and transform the West Burton Energy business data.

“As part of this separation West Burton Energy required that all our data was to be migrated to the new environment in a challenging timeline. We engaged Xmateria for their expertise and technology. The Xmateria team working with our own team ensured that the project was delivered on time and to budget in what was a very successful migration. West Burton Energy would highly recommend Xmateria.”‍
