Overview: Client needed to upgrade their SAP technology, including 10 years’ worth of custom functionality that had been previously implemented. An SAP expert was needed who could translate the previous customizations into the new technology with a very strict deadline.

The Problem: This client had been using SAP 4.6c for a significant amount of time, and over the years had developed a tremendous amount of custom functionality within that technology. The decision was made for Astir Services to migrate the client to SAP ECC 6.0/AFS 6.3, and a timeframe of 10 months was given. This was a very aggressive expansion goal, and the client needed an expert architect group to analyze, develop, and implement robust strategies to achieve this goal.

The Solution: Astir Services was charged with managing the entire SAP system upgrade project. Astir developed coding standards, best practices, and coding guidelines in order for the successsful migration from the existing system to the new, upgraded system. In addition, regular design and implementation reviews were held to ensure that all coding was up to client standards and that system performance could be accurately monitored.
