Project Synopsis

The client, a Fortune 50 pharmaceutical company, required a comprehensive redesign and modernization of their data warehouse in alignment with their SAP system upgrade from SAP ERP 6.0 to SAP S/4HANA. This major transformation involved a revamp of their Oracle-based data warehouse to ensure compatibility with the new SAP architecture, enhance data quality, improve reporting
capabilities, and reduce operational costs. The project spanned multiple phases, including redesign, ETL migration, BI report migration and data validation, and are all geared toward optimizing the company’s data-driven operations.

The Challenge

The existing Oracle data warehouse had to be realigned to work seamlessly with the new SAP S/4HANA architecture.
Ensuring data integrity and consistency across systems became more complex with the migration from SAP ERP 6.0 to S/4HANA.
Existing ETL and BI solutions needed to be upgraded for improved performance, with minimum disruption to ongoing business operations.
Reducing the cost of maintaining outdated systems while enhancing efficiency was a key priority.
Migrating vast amounts of historical data from the legacy warehouse to the new system without data loss or errors.

The Solution

A thorough impact analysis was conducted to assess how the SAP S/4HANA upgrade would affect the Oracle data warehouse and surrounding systems. This enabled the team to proactively identify risks and mitigation strategies.
The Oracle data warehouse architecture was redesigned to align with SAP S/4HANA. New data marts and dimensions were created to meet specific business needs, along with data quality and governance measures.
Migrated ETL code from legacy versions to Informatica PowerCenter 10. New ETL workflows were developed to streamline data flows and improve overall performance, ensuring efficient data transfer from SAP to Oracle.
Migrated existing Cognos reports and cubes to the latest Cognos Analytics 11.x version. Reports and dashboards were redesigned to fit the new architecture, and additional dashboards were developed to meet evolving business needs.
A robust data conversion process was developed to migrate and validate historical data from the legacy Oracle warehouse to the new system.
Extensive testing, including data validation, quality assurance, and user acceptance testing (UAT), ensured the new system’s reliability before final deployment. End-user training was also provided for smooth adoption.

The Result

Achieved enhanced data quality and consistency across the enterprise, enabling more accurate and reliable decision-making.
Empowered the business with advanced reporting features, supporting strategic
decision-making through enhanced BI dashboards and analytics.
The project led to a significant reduction in operational costs, streamlining data management processes while increasing overall efficiency.
The redesigned data warehouse now aligns with the client’s overall IT strategy, providing a solid foundation for future data-driven initiatives.
