SAP Legacy System Retirement in Record Time: How DuPont, Accenture & JiVS Did It Fast
DuPont, a global Fortune 500 leader in science and innovation, faced a complex and fragmented IT landscape after years of mergers, divestitures, and organizational change. The challenges of maintaining 17 separate legacy SAP systems, primarily for compliance purposes, were becoming unsustainable. The operational costs involved in supporting these obsolete systems were escalating, systems faced increased cybersecurity exposure, outdated hardware was causing energy inefficiencies, new global compliance requirements needed to be met, and the amount of technical debt had resulted in an overall lack of IT agility. To address these challenges, DuPont launched a bold initiative: retire all 17 legacy SAP systems and archive more than 50 terabytes of historical data, including hundreds of ADK and archival files, without compromising compliance, auditability, or business continuity. Together with Accenture and powered by JiVS Information Management Platform (IMP) from Data Migration International, the company achieved results few believed possible.
