Welcome to the HANA to Optimize (H2O) wiki page ....

The H2O project is an enabling project that will move our core ERP to a next generation cloud platform. This migration will support/provide:
  • Future cloud integrations with best in class software providers

  • Bi-coastal disaster recovery

  • Real time queries for all ECC reporting needs

  • The  ability to move to simple finance and logistics in the future

  • Mobile first development with built in integration and security capability

The H2O project plan aims to use the support pack regression testing window:
  • In order to minimize the impact of the migration on the business

  • Ensure the timely delivery of dependent enterprise projects (Coupa, Work Manager & e-Builder)

Support Packs

Each year SAP releases Support Packs addressing system defects reported by their clients or identified though their own internal testing, as well as the introduction of changes to accounting rules and financial regulations.  The implementation of SAP Support Packs is an activity that brings new and optimized functionality to a SAP environment.  Client application of Support Packs are necessary to keep SAP support current and a prerequisite to successfully running year-end tax reporting processes.

Support Packs are scheduled for release by SAP at various points throughout the year.  In an effort to minimize business interruption MIT collects the Support Packs for a single installation at year end.  As part of the installation process, functional and regression testing is conducted to determine if the changes introduced by the application of the Support Packs will have any impact on MIT’s implementation of SAP functionality. Impacts are analyzed and resolved before introduction into production. This process is an annual event with the assumption that SAP will continue to release Support Packs each year.
