Key Takeaways What you need to know
  1. Scandinavian Tobacco Group is replacing 12 legacy ERP systems with a single global SAP S/4HANA platform through its ONEProcess ERP consolidation, changing fragmented regional processes into one standardized source of truth. This matters because it supports consistent operations, faster delivery, and more reliable SAP go-lives across Europe, the UK, and Asia. It impacts enterprise IT, SAP transformation teams, and business units managing multinational ERP migration.

  2. STG has shifted from manual SAP testing to a scalable test automation strategy using Worksoft Connective Automation Platform, with more than 200 end-to-end scenarios automated and 70% regression automation. This matters because automated system integration testing and regression testing reduce rework, improve test consistency, and validate SAP plus connected systems like Ivalua and 3PL platforms. It impacts SAP testing teams, QA leaders, and ERP program managers responsible for complex enterprise application testing.

  3. Reusable, codeless test scenarios and automated scheduling through Continuous Testing Manager are helping STG run faster, more predictable deployment waves with 65% test scenario reuse. This matters because earlier defect detection and higher-quality SIT results improve release confidence and reduce manual effort before UAT. It impacts global manufacturers and distributors managing multi-year SAP S/4HANA rollouts, especially organizations that need scalable end-to-end test automation across multiple countries and business functions.

A Scalable SAP Testing Approach Supports Reliable Delivery Throughout the Multi-Year ERP Consolidation

Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) is in the midst of one of the most ambitious technology transformations in its history: a multi-year program to replace 12 inherited ERP systems with a single global SAP S/4HANA platform. As STG expanded through acquisitions, each acquired company—and the regions they operated in—brought its own systems, processes, and ways of working. To unify these fragmented environments and establish a single global source of truth, STG launched ONEProcess—the company’s ERP implementation initiative.

An initiative of this scale requires SAP testing that is reliable and consistent across countries, functions, and deployment waves. Manual testing wasn’t designed for the volume of system integration testing (SIT) cycles, the growing regression suite, or the need to validate scenarios uniformly across regions and business units. STG needed a structured, scalable approach to ensure each S/4HANA rollout met the same high standard.

To support this, STG implemented Worksoft’s Connective Automation Platform to build a repeatable, enterprise-wide testing framework. Automating more than 200 end-to-end scenarios and achieving 70% regression automation, testing has become faster and more predictable. Worksoft is now integral to how STG delivers stable releases, enabling successful S/4HANA go-lives across Europe, the UK, and Asia as ONEProcess continues to advance.
