SAP S/4HANA Cloud PublicEdition
Meeting an ambitious deadline to migrate to a new ERP solution in less than 12 months
More than 2.3 million customers rely on GasNet s.r.o., the largest gas distributor in the Czech Republic, for reliable energy supply in their daily lives. To safeguard these supplies, GasNet had to replace an inflexible on-premise ERP system with a modern solution in the cloud. As the company was being spun off from its parent, it needed to migrate the entire ERP system and data within 12 months. In parallel, GasNet had to completely refinance the company and engage the first phase of the transition toward net zero and future hydrogen distribution in GasNet‘s network. Focus on a smooth implementation of the new ERP system was therefore mission critical.
