OCI Global Transitions to Proceed Cella Cloud for Data Management
OCI Global and Proceed Group have achieved a major milestone by completing a comprehensive system decommissioning program utilizing Proceed Cella Cloud. This advancement allows OCI to retain vital legacy SAP data to comply with legal, audit, and ongoing business requirements while efficiently retiring obsolete systems.
With multiple divestments in its recent history, OCI faced the challenge of ensuring secure and accessible historical data. Previously, OCI operated various SAP ECC systems before migrating to the SAP S/4HANA Cloud platform. The transition raised the necessity of retaining critical historical data that still resided in outdated SAP ECC and the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition systems, necessitated by business mandates and compliance standards.
Through a recommendation from SAP Netherlands, Proceed Cella Cloud was identified as the appropriate solution. The team at Proceed Group partnered with OCI to craft a structured and efficient strategy for decommissioning and data retention, leveraging the capabilities of Proceed Cella Cloud.
Streamlined Migration and Data Retention Process
During the decommissioning process, all essential legacy data from OCI's S/4HANA production system and specific company code data from the ECC systems were meticulously extracted and migrated to Proceed Cella. Moreover, the implementation of five-year retention rules ensured that OCI met all compliance and business requirements.
Custom Reporting Solutions for Accessibility
Alongside standard data reporting, tailored reports were developed, enhancing accessibility for OCI teams across various geographies and business sectors. This optimization not only facilitated the ease of access to historical data but also resulted in considerable cost savings for the organization.
Expert Insights and Benefits Realized
Ian Derbyshire, Group IT PMO Director at OCI, expressed gratitude towards the teams from both OCI and Proceed, stating, "The project was executed with remarkable precision, supported by a capable and professional team that emphasized delivery excellence. The savings realized through this initiative were significant, making the decision to implement Proceed Cella Cloud straightforward."
Reducing Legacy System Overhead
Robert Reuben, Managing Director at Proceed Group, remarked on OCI’s need for sustainable access to crucial data without the burden of outdated systems. Proceed Cella Cloud offered a reliable pathway for data migration, retention management, and facilitated daily access through efficient reporting, enabling OCI to confidently retire its legacy platforms.
