Polyvision Migrates to S/4HANA on AWS Ahead of Schedule with Navisite
Key Takeaways
⇨ Polyvision migrated from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA on AWS via RISE with SAP in just seven months, partnering with Navisite to modernize its ERP system.
⇨ This migration saved Polyvision the need to hire three additional full-time employees and improved remote access to mission-critical data.
⇨ The transition marked a significant cultural shift, enabling Polyvision to embrace more modern, efficient workflows and better position itself for future growth and innovation.
Prioritizing operational efficiency has always been a key focus for Polyvision, a leading provider of CeramicSteel surfaces. Known for its commitment to quality, Polyvision wanted to spend minimal time on IT infrastructure and operations and more on its mission to produce and enhance aesthetic surfaces. However, the company’s on-premises ERP system—which was essential to manufacturing, sales, operations, and more—was monopolizing IT resources.
Divesting from its parent company created a deadline for Polyvision to reevaluate its technology landscape. A transition service agreement (TSA) between the two companies gave Polyvision 14 months to decide what to do with the data from the company’s legacy ERP, SAP ECC. This ticking clock was the push Polyvision needed to align its technology strategy with future business goals.
“Our ERP was functional but not user-friendly and was becoming increasingly difficult for us to manage on premises. The divestiture was a turning point for us, highlighting the immediate need to
modernize our ERP infrastructure and gain efficiency, scalability, and the ability to handle increased data loads,” said Jake Hutcherson, global IT manager at Polyvision.
