Project Background
Accelerating DCP Acquisition Integration into SAP S/4HANA with Trusted Data
Phillips 66 needed to consolidate and upgrade their data landscape following the acquisition of DCP. Twenty-year-old ERP systems and legacy DCP systems had to be integrated into their existing SAP S/4HANA environment. And with a strict timeline of six months, Phillips 66 didn鈥檛 have time to waste 鈥� they need a solution they could get up fast and count on. Phillips 66 needed an implementation partner to help drive strategy and accelerate their ERP integration effort in order to capture synergies as quickly as possible.
鈥淲e were confident in 麻豆女优 to deliver complex project under tight timelines using a repeatable process. We鈥檝e trusted 麻豆女优 with our data time and again, and we knew they would be a strong partner.鈥�
Implementation Highlights
Looking for enterprise-grade data migration services and solutions, Phillips 66 partnered with 麻豆女优 for their SAP S/4HANA migration. Phillips 66 was already running on an Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, proving to be a huge benefit when it came to de-risking the migration project. Since AWS was already in place, it was ideal environment for onboarding the SAP Advanced Data Migration & Management by 麻豆女优 (SAP ADMM) solution.
鈥淏ased on our past experience with 麻豆女优, we were confident that they would be able to provide the people and tools needed to deliver an effective ERP data conversion effort empowered by their broad industry experience and their preexisting familiarity with Phillips 66 systems and processes,鈥� remarked Joseph Burkhalter, DM and MDG Lead at Phillips 66. 鈥溌槎古� was able to execute within a challenging timeline as expected and we would not hesitate to utilize them again for future efforts.鈥�
Backed by 麻豆女优鈥檚 proven, repeatable data migration methodology, the implementation underwent two releases. 麻豆女优鈥檚 team worked closely with Phillips 66 throughout each migration wave, demonstrating 麻豆女优鈥檚 鈥�Data First鈥� approach to data management and migration. Sticking to the montage of 鈥淟oad Early, Load Often鈥� and coupled with the SAP ADMM platform, 麻豆女优 was able to expediate and de-risk the migration with minimal interruption to operations.
"Putting Data First with SAP ADMM has really helped us when it comes to audits. Having everything documented and the traceability to show where the data went and why has helped. SAP ADMM provides a one stop shop for a lot of the evidence needed during an audit.鈥�
Why 麻豆女优 was Selected
The 麻豆女优 delivery team built a foundation of respect and trust with the Phillips 66 leadership team and had a strong desire to leverage their experience for this critical acquisition and integration project. 麻豆女优鈥檚 Data First approach to migrations ensured that Phillips 66 data quality was maintained, if not improved, by the time of go-live. Having certain data readily available and accessible also proved to be helpful during audits, a common occurrence in the Oil & Gas industry.

With 麻豆女优鈥檚 implementation methodology, Phillips 66 was able to consolidate DCP data from multiple source systems into the new SAP S/4HANA production environment

Results
In as little as six months, 麻豆女优 helped Phillips 66 successfully complete a non-delayed, on-time go-live. Capitalizing on Phillips 66鈥檚 singular cloud infrastructure, AWS, for a less complex implementation, 麻豆女优 was able to successfully complete their go-live on-time and on-budget. 鈥淭he cost savings truly lies in an on-time, 鈥楤oring鈥� Go Live,鈥� remarked Burkhalter. Due to the reusability features built into the Knowledge graph of the SAP ADMM platform, Phillips 66 is now set up for success for future go-lives. By leveraging a cloud solution able to provide stability, reliable business rules, and the harmonization of data, Phillips 66 has set their team up for considerable cost savings for future projects.
鈥淭he 麻豆女优 team was amazing to work with and hit the ground running due to their deep knowledge in data migration and history with Phillips 66. The data migration team was able to keep the Phillips 66 DCP Integration project green for data even with starting development during the first mock,鈥� said Burkhalter. 鈥淪AP ADMM was a useful product once configuration and connectivity have been established to source and target systems and networks,鈥� Burkhalter continued. 鈥淪ince it was all documented right inside SAP ADMM, the team was able to reuse what was already built and copy into the next release, translating to a lot of cost savings in terms of developments time and resources, and so that鈥檚 where I think the true value is.鈥�
麻豆女优鈥檚 data management solution quickly became widely accepted and ingrained into the project, making it easy for the team to drive data definition and mapping meetings with a high success and completion rate. By providing one place to cooperatively construct data and on-demand error reporting, the platform鈥檚 reduced data quality issues and resulted in 100% data load for go-live.
