IBS: Carve-Out for SAP Systems During Business Restructuring

2022: Presentation of the Allocation Service for SAP Systems

On July 5, 2022, IBS provided a comprehensive service that allows companies using SAP solutions as a digital platform to quickly separate their IT landscapes in the process of business restructuring or to separate the IT landscape for local business units. This service is offered within the framework of the general IBS initiative to ensure technological safety and independence of companies operating in Russia.

Many Russian representative offices of international companies using SAP solutions faced problems when working in global IT systems due to sanctions restrictions, tightening the requirements of Russian legislation on data storage in the Russian Federation or due to the sale of Russian assets of global companies to local investors. In this regard, an important technological task is the separation of information systems and data used by Russian offices from the global IT landscapes, the formation of an independent IT landscape and ensuring business continuity of such companies.

IBS has extensive experience in Carve-Out SAP projects of any scale for international and Russian companies.

IBS is ready to perform a full range of services as part of the formation of a dedicated SAP landscape:

• Highlight the settings and data related to the business structure to be separated from the source system, including using SAP Landscape Transformation technology.
• provide the necessary capacity and infrastructure;
• Install an updated SAP landscape
• Migrate the selected settings and data from the global system to the updated landscape.
• Bring integration SAP systems into the existing IT landscape, and ensure integration with all external systems.
• check functionality operability and test all business processes in the updated landscape;
• Delete all data from the selected segment in the source system, if necessary
• Ensure that the IT landscape is operational and fully supported across the entire technology stack.

An SAP-based enterprise system is a critical application, and a system migration failure can lead to serious consequences. IBS migration is carried out without stopping the company's activities (downtime for productive systems is no more than 1-2 days) and significant changes in the work of users.

We see the need to separate the local part of the IT infrastructure from many international brands that plan to continue their activities in Russia. Deadlines are critical for all of them. We also have a ready-made and proven solution that allows us to quickly, within 1-3 months, solve this problem with minimal risks to the continuity of the client's business, "said Dmitry Ivitsky, Director of the IBS Commercial Software Support Department.
