Global Agri-Science: Global SAP instance consolidation.
Consolidated four global SAP ECC instances into a single, governed HANA platform for a major agri-science enterprise, reducing infrastructure complexity and accelerating onboarding by 40%.
A concise view of impact and engineering focus.
4 to 1 instance consolidation
40% reduced onboarding effort
100% global data harmonisation
The global instance challenge
A global agri-science enterprise operated four disparate global SAP ECC instances, leading to inconsistent master data, fragmented reporting, and high maintenance overhead. This siloed landscape was a significant barrier to a single enterprise view.
This section explains the practical engineering implications and why the pattern matters for enterprise delivery.
BODS-driven migration factory
We led the consolidation into a single SAP HANA platform using a BODS-driven migration factory. We also implemented SAP MDG for centralized ownership and governance workflows, alongside OutSystems for rapid supporting app delivery.
- BODS-driven migration factory from 4 ECC instances to unified HANA
- SAP MDG for global master data governance and stewardship
- SAP BI/BW modernization for consolidated global reporting
- OutSystems integration for specialized business application delivery
- S/4HANA-ready architecture to future-proof the investment
This section explains the practical engineering implications and why the pattern matters for enterprise delivery.
Outcomes and value
The consolidation delivered a single trusted source of truth across 4 global landscapes, reduced infrastructure complexity, and lowered maintenance costs. It created a reusable foundation that has since cut onboarding effort for new domains by 40%.

What to carry into the next sprint
Takeaway
Instance consolidation is a data migration and governance project at its core.
Takeaway
A unified HANA platform is the best foundation for S/4HANA readiness.
Takeaway
Centralized governance prevents new silos from forming post-consolidation.
