Kimberly-Clark, a global leader in consumer products, needed to modernize SAP change management to support a fast, low-risk S/4HANA migration. Operating a highly customized SAP environment across multiple regions, the company faced significant complexity, with manual processes and limited visibility slowing progress and increasing the risk of failure.

To address these challenges, Kimberly-Clark deployed ActiveControl from Basis Technologies to automate and control change across both SAP ECC and S/4HANA landscapes. This strategic shift allowed the organization to streamline change governance, eliminate manual errors, and reduce dependency on time-consuming spreadsheet-based processes.

ActiveControl provided real-time visibility into change activity, automated critical checks like dependency and sequencing, and enabled safe dual maintenance between legacy and target environments. These capabilities allowed teams to accelerate delivery cycles, reduce change failures, and confidently support business operations during the transformation.

The impact was significant. Kimberly-Clark shortened its migration timeline, improved change quality, and created a more agile SAP environment prepared for future innovation. With automation embedded into every phase of the project, they were able to de-risk their transformation and maintain business continuity across global operations.

This case study showcases how SAP teams can reduce complexity, improve delivery speed, and confidently manage transformation at scale by modernizing their approach to SAP change management from day zero.

Molson Coors, one of the world’s largest brewers, undertook a high-stakes transformation to migrate its SAP landscape to SAP HANA and the AWS cloud. The goals were clear: reduce infrastructure costs, improve system performance, and modernize SAP operations—all without disrupting critical business processes across its global footprint.

Given the complexity of SAP change management in a hybrid landscape, Molson Coors selected ActiveControl from Basis Technologies to automate and control change across the transformation journey. This allowed the organization to maintain operational stability while executing a complex technical migration with confidence and precision.

By replacing manual processes with intelligent automation, Molson Coors gained complete visibility into change activity and the ability to enforce governance across multiple SAP systems. ActiveControl’s automated analysis, real-time transport tracking, and risk prevention capabilities enabled the team to identify potential issues early, synchronize environments accurately, and reduce the overall burden on technical teams.

The result was a smooth migration to SAP HANA on AWS—completed without major disruption or downtime. Molson Coors was able to modernize its SAP infrastructure while maintaining change quality and speed across a complex, multinational environment.

This case study demonstrates how SAP teams can ensure business continuity, reduce risk, and accelerate modernization initiatives by embedding change automation into the core of their transformation strategy—from infrastructure migration to ongoing system management.
