Upgrade Success Story @ YASH®SAP
Business Needs
With increased demand for productivity gains and continuous product innovation, RAPL could no longer meet future challenges with their existing SAP ERP system. RAPL found that it hindered them in terms of growth, cost containment, flexibility and agility to address new opportunities and competiveness.
At RAPL, the continuation of the SAP R/3 4.7 system would have meant rising maintenance costs due to customized product features, while the migration to SAP ECC 6.0 translated into a controllable expense structure with a predictable outcome. They wanted to mitigate risks, reduce complexity, control maintenance costs, and deploy IT resources to other strategic projects. The client perceived the upgrade as a valuable opportunity to maximize the value of their SAP investment by extending the functionality and improving the performance of their vital ERP software.

“By using the latest release of ERP software, we are able to optimize operations and greatly improve service levels. YASH provided a clear path on how the upgrade would benefit our company. Now internal and external stakeholders are empowered through better collaboration and enhanced functionality.”
RAPLCIO,
As an SAP Gold Channel Partner with extensive upgrade experience, YASH Technologies was chosen to enhance RAPL’s business performance. YASH initially assessed core business processes supported by the existing SAP software landscape and identified potential obstacles. Then, in conjunction with the client’s internal team, they developed an upgrade roadmap that would minimize disruption to ongoing operations.
YASH found that RAPL’s existing servers were not compliant with their technology initiatives. Replacing this hardware ensured business continuity and system stability. YASH executed the focused upgrade project with a phased implementation approach that included:
Upgraded database from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g
Moved the current 4.7 SAP instance onto the new hardware
Built a 3 System Landscape DEV QAS PRD
Upgraded the SAP R/3 4.7 to SAP ECC 6.0 using CUUC

Business Benefit
The upgrade improved RAPL’s overall business operations, expanded their current functionality and helped them remain innovative to meet changing business requirements. As the only upgrade available beyond 2010, RAPL can now ensure a stable, long-term IT platform that minimizes risk and maintenance. By upgrading their ERP foundation, RAPL gained access to new and enhanced capabilities, lowered operational costs, and improved end-user productivity. Some of the other multidimensional benefits included:
Ease of integration and business process mapping
Enhanced connectivity and collaboration among internal and external users
Reduced time to introduce products to the marketplace
Positive cost impact via consolidation of systems and software, reducing TCO and improving ROI
By utilizing a blended onsite/offshore delivery model, YASH was able to complete the upgrade in three months with minimal downtime. YASH’s phased and predictable implementation time and cost model increased RAPL’s enterprise performance.
