Here are five compelling reasons to migrate to S/4HANA and how C5MI’s unique position and expertise can facilitate a seamless and efficient migration.

1. Proven Success in Large-Scale Migrations

Our successful SAP S/4HANA migration for the DoD at the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has set a new standard for technological integration and efficiency within the U.S. federal government. This landmark project, completed in half the expected time, underscores our ability to manage complex implementations and deliver superior results. This achievement, which included the most extensive SAP Warehouse Management System (WMS) deployment in the U.S. Federal Government, highlights our capabilities in:

  • Rapid Deployment: We completed the project in just a few months, significantly ahead of schedule.
  • Collaboration and Expertise: The success resulted from a collaborative effort between C5MI, DLA, and SAP, with C5MI leading the way.
  • Scalability: The implementation introduced significant data model changes while minimizing disruption across 86 DLA warehouse locations.
  • Operational Efficiency: The migration has set a repeatable, scalable, and cost-effective delivery model for ongoing S/4 rollouts.

By navigating significant data model changes and deployment disruptions, we demonstrated our ability to handle complex, large-scale migrations effectively. This transformation highlights C5MI’s operations-led approach and DLA’s valuable partnership, both crucial to the project’s success.
