Rheem, one of Australia’s most iconic manufacturers, has relied on SAP for nearly three decades. But with a highly customised on-premise ERP weighing down operations, the company faced a critical inflection point. In 2024, Rheem completed “Project Basecamp” — an ambitious enterprise-wide migration to SAP S/4HANA via RISE Private Cloud. 

The rollout spanned Australia, New Zealand, and Vietnam, harmonised more than 100 integrations, retired 30% of custom code, and achieved go-live with zero critical defects. Supported by SAP BTP for integration and extensions, and SAP Cloud ALM for testing and lifecycle management, Rheem now operates with a clean, scalable core that powers real-time analytics, modern user experiences, and faster decision-making.
In this session, hear how Rheem delivered one of the region’s most complex ERP transformations on time and within budget, while building stronger cross-regional alignment and IT credibility.
