Alba Successfully Migrates to Rise with SAP Private Edition
This strategic move provides Alba with a modern, scalable, and high-performance digital platform. It will enable enhanced functionality, an improved user experience, and powerful analytics, all crucial for navigating the evolving industrial landscape.
Commenting on this achievement, Ali Al Baqali, Alba's Chief Executive Officer, stated: 'Our migration to Rise with SAP Private Cloud is more than a technological upgrade; it's a strategic leap forward. This advanced digital infrastructure will not only streamline our operations but more importantly, it will empower our teams with real-time insights, enabling faster, more informed decisions that drive productivity and sustain our competitive edge in the market.'
Saquib Ahmad, Managing Director for SAP Bahrain, added, 'This complex deployment serves as a powerful example of remarkable outcomes achievable through a strong partnership between a forward-thinking customer and a dedicated delivery team. Completed within a nine-month completion time frame, we have ensured the seamless transformation, paving the way for sustained digital innovation across the region's industrial landscape.'
The project involved a highly complex, brownfield conversion from SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 8 to SAP S/4HANA 2022. This included the migration of satellite systems, technical code remediation, and the integration of SAP Fiori and SAP Analytics Cloud. The success was underpinned by the close collaboration between Alba and SAP's CS&D team, leveraging global experts and regional capabilities throughout the conversion and cutover phases.
