LIVE! From SNP Transformation World 2025 – Tim Garippa

Key Takeaways

Adobe Technology had one of the biggest SAP ECC systems when they started their transformation project to SAP S/4HANA, some 150 TB in size, and had just 10 months to complete the project when they engaged with SNP.

Like many companies, Adobe’s business model had changed completely from when their ERP system was initially deployed, and they needed an updated environment to support their business needs into the future.

Despite the challenges that they faced, Adobe completed their project on time utilizing tools from SNP which helped them transform their environment for the future.

Tim Garippa, Transformation and Innovation Lead at Adobe Technology, sat down with Robert Holland of ERP Today to discuss Adobe’s recent transition to SAP S/4HANA including a migration from a very large source system and a short deadline for completion. Garippa appeared on stage during the SNP Transformation World keynote along with other SNP customers to talk about Adobe’s success and the role that SNP played in their project.

Adobe had started their SAP S/4HANA project with another partner and when SNP came on board there were just 10 months until their go-live date. Given that the first 11 months of the project had faced numerous hurdles, Garippa indicated that there was a lot of work to be done to complete the project on time and that this was only achieved by working with SNP and IBM.

Garippa highlighted the fact that Adobe’s business has fundamentally changed since they originally implemented SAP at a time when they were shipping software on CDs or floppy disks to customers. Given the number of transactions Adobe completes each day, their source system had over 150 TB of data, a massive amount of data to shift into SAP S/4HANA.

Watch this episode to learn more about how Adobe worked with SNP to successfully complete their project and build a system that would support their needs today and in the future.
