Strategic transition journey for ADNOC

Published in 2024/25

Client Synopsis

What did they do?

Why did they do it?

• ADNOC embarked on a strategic initiative to transition its entire Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) landscape to the RISE with SAP model, adopting a Customer Data Center (CDC) approach. • This model is fully hosted within ADNOC's own data centers and is comprehensively managed by SAP, ensuring seamless integration and operational efficiency.

• ADNOC's decision was driven by stringent compliance and security mandates necessitating in-country data hosting. By leveraging the RISE with SAP CDC model, ADNOC ensures that its sensitive data remains within national borders while entrusting SAP with the management and operation of the environment. • This approach aligns with ADNOC's commitment to data sovereignty and operational excellence.

• The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is the state-owned oil company of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Established in 1971, ADNOC operates across the entire hydrocarbon value chain, including exploration, production, storage, refining, and distribution of crude oil, petroleum products, natural gas, and petrochemicals. It is recognized as one of the world's leading energy producers and plays a pivotal role in the economic development of Abu Dhabi.
