ForFarmers UK | Manufacturing | 843 | $828M | United Kingdom | SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | ERP Financial | 2010 |
In 2019, ForFarmers UK engaged BPSOLUTIONS to direct a challenging project to move its SAP ERP ECC 6.0 server platform and perform a physical data center relocation for the companys ERP Financial footprint. The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 environment was hosted on BPSOLUTIONS infrastructure and was based on IBM i and IBM Power Systems, and the engagement involved partner newITera alongside ForFarmers IT and business stakeholders.
The deployment preserved core ERP Financial functionality with SAP ERP ECC 6.0 supporting standard FI and CO capabilities including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, asset accounting, and controlling, ensuring transactional integrity through the move. Configuration work focused on maintaining the existing ECC module landscape and operational workflows for finance and related business functions during cutover.
The physical infrastructure move was executed over the weekend of December 7 and 8, 2019 using a runbook driven cutover coordinated between BPSOLUTIONS, newITera and ForFarmers IT, and completed within an offline window of 18 hours to limit business disruption. Governance emphasized cross team cutover procedures, system validation steps and post go live verification, and the project scope was confined to ForFarmers UK SAP ECC hosting and infrastructure relocation.

ForFarmers UK | Manufacturing | 843 | $828M | United Kingdom | IBM | IBM Power Systems | Application Hosting and Computing Services | 2016 |
In 2016, ForFarmers UK implemented IBM Power Systems as its Application Hosting and Computing Services platform to support SAP ECC hosting. The deployment used IBM i as the operating system and positioned IBM Power Systems as the central compute layer for SAP workloads.
BPSolutions managed ongoing hosting of the SAP ECC environment on IBM i running on IBM Power Systems hardware. In mid 2019 ForFarmers initiated a complex project involving the SAP ECC server platform that included a physical data center move, and the actual move took place on the weekend of December 7 and 8, 2019. The operation was executed in collaboration with BPSolutions, partner newITera, and ForFarmers IT and business teams for coordinated cutover activities.
The infrastructure architecture emphasized IBM i resilience on IBM Power Systems and required a tightly orchestrated offline window, with the live cutover completing within an 18 hour offline window. Operational scope focused on the SAP application stack and supporting compute and hosting services under the Application Hosting and Computing Services category, with governance organized around a weekend go live and close coordination between IT and business stakeholders.
IBM Power Systems served as the named application platform for ForFarmers UK, aligning Application Hosting and Computing Services with SAP ECC business functions such as finance and supply chain operations. The engagement highlights an enterprise hosting implementation managed by BPSolutions with partner newITera, executed with explicit scheduling and cutover controls to limit downtime.
