Migration Approach and Methodology

Data Assessment and Cleansing
Conducted a comprehensive data assessment to identify redundancies, outdated information, and data inaccuracies.
EngenOil utilized SAP Data Services for data cleansing and SAP Information Steward for data governance, ensuring only accurate and relevant data was migrated.

Data Extraction, Transformation, and Load (ETL)

Employed SAP’s ETL tools to extract data from legacy systems, transform it to meet the structure of S/4HANA, and load it into the new system.
Customized ETL workflows were designed for each module, ensuring accurate data mapping and transformation.

Testing and Validation
Conducted multiple rounds of testing, including unit testing, integration testing, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT), to ensure data integrity and functional accuracy.
Extensive validations were performed to confirm the accuracy of financial, inventory, and customer data.

Go-Live and Support
Implemented a phased go-live strategy to minimize disruption to ongoing operations, with parallel runs for critical functions.
Provided post-migration support, ensuring smooth transition and addressing user concerns promptly.
