When SAP support deadlines approached, Engenco — a leading rail and transportation provider — needed to upgrade ECC quickly and under tight resource constraints. Instead of treating the move from EHP4 to EHP8 as a routine compliance task, the team reframed it as a strategic opportunity to modernise their SAP landscape.

By aligning the upgrade with broader business transformation goals, Engenco extended system support, unlocked new functionality, and implemented SAP SuccessFactors as part of a coordinated uplift. The project delivered a cleaner, more resilient core and established a strong foundation for future SAP transformation, including potential adoption of RISE or GROW.

This session shares how Engenco delivered a high-impact upgrade under pressure, the lessons learned along the way, and how a business-driven approach turned a mandatory deadline into meaningful organisational advantage.

Key Takeaways:

• How to shift an SAP upgrade from a support requirement to a transformation-aligned opportunity
• Practical technical and organisational lessons for upgrading ECC under tight timelines and limited resources.
• Why a clean, modern core is essential for preparing for RISE, GROW, or future cloud ERP transformation.
