Senwes SAP ECC Upgrade Partnership with Panaya

This case study outlines the collaboration between Senwes and Panaya during the SAP ECC upgrade process in 2022. Senwes, an agricultural company in South Africa, faced challenges due to the seasonal nature of its business, which necessitated a quick and efficient upgrade to avoid extended downtime. The company had a smaller upgrade team and required thorough testing and sign-off, which increased the project's duration. Panaya provided solutions that included automatic code corrections, facilitating change impact analysis, and enabling efficient testing. Over eight weeks, Panaya assisted in completing 499 code corrections and successfully tested 3,547 transactions. The partnership resulted in the SAP upgrade being completed in half the time of previous upgrades, highlighting the importance of collaboration between business and IT, comprehensive planning, and selecting the right partner for such critical projects.
