Germany’s leading building society initiates a forward-looking step with the migration to an SAP S/4HANA platform. This significant project involves the integration of the existing business into the advanced standard software solution with the help of the Data Migration Framework.
The challenge: seamless, technically consistent transfer and transformation of huge volumes of data.
The choice fell on paricon’s Data Migration Framework – a product that draws on over 20 years of experience in data management for SAP systems. The framework offers comprehensive functions for data extraction, transformation, cleansing and loading, thus ensuring efficient, audit-proof data migration with minimal implementation effort.
Quick Facts
One of the first S/4HANA migrations in the banking environment Fast implementation of migration routes using standard adapters for
SAP S/4HANA and SAP Banking modules (inbound and outbound)
Consistent and audit-proof data transfer thanks to a central migration platform Complete overview of all value flows and data exchange Versionable, incrementally expandable implementation rules
Initial data analysis and iterative improvement of data quality Reduction of test efforts and migration results through automatable completeness checks
Migration process
A CONVINCING SOLUTION Why Bausparkasse Schwäbisch-Hall relies on paricon’s Data Migration Framework.
Bausparkasse Schwäbisch-Hall relies on paricon’s proven Data Migration Framework for the migration to SAP S/4HANA,
which ensures efficient and low-risk data transfer. With over two decades of experience in data management and migration for SAP systems, Paricon enables a smooth transition of the existing business, optimizes system efficiency and ensures business continuity, which contributes significantly to the realization of the business case and reduces the overall costs of the migration process.
The challenge for data migration is, of course, the complete, consistent and audit-proof transfer of existing data with low implementation and execution costs. The challenge for the technical implementation here was not only the enormous amount of data, but also the high-performance transformation of the data into completely new data and object structures and field values, as well as the integration of data cleansing functions for an iterative improvement of the data quality to the level required for the target system and the target processes. In addition, the data transfer had to be transparent and audit-proof. In addition to ensuring the completeness of all entities required in the future and the correctness of all created data, increasing the data quality to guarantee the highest possible degree of automation was an important requirement of the building society for the migration team. In addition, the focus was on high-performance implementation, reducing the downtime of the systems, preparing the reconciliation results in a comprehensible and audit-proof form, and meeting all of BSH’s compliance/audit requirements during the migration process.
The primary aim of the building society is to minimize the disruption to ongoing business operations caused by the migration activities. The commitment of internal employees for conceptual work and data cleansing must be kept to a minimum. The basic design approach of the paricon framework to work with the entire production database as quickly as possible and to gain a quick overview of the structure and quality of the data is a key success factor and accelerator for the migration project. In this way, transformation and data cleansing rules can be implemented at an early stage and the data quality of the migration material can be iteratively improved. A “learning” set of rules helps to keep the manual clean-up effort to a minimum. Where this is nevertheless necessary, a workflow-supported processing cockpit helps with efficient, traceable processing.
The use of the paricon Data Migration Framework generates measurable added value for the transformation project:
Low time and cost expenditure for migration:
- Fast implementation of extraction and loading interfaces thanks to comprehensive content and standard adapters
- Implementation and adaptation of transformation and correction rules completely without development effort
- Short throughput times thanks to comprehensive parallelization and scaling options for processing large volumes of data
Increase in data quality:
- Analysis tools and a powerful DQ and correction control system enable a highly automated increase in the quality of the migration material
Workflow-supported processing cockpit enables the iterative processing of special cases
Efficient employee deployment:
- Complete SAP integration enables user-friendly operation during configuration and execution of the migration steps
Quick training of SAP-savvy employees, no special know-how required - Integral fulfillment of data protection and auditing requirements:
- Data processing in the SAP target system ensures complete transparency across all transformation and processing steps
by means of comprehensive monitoring and integrated anonymization functions
