Mineralbrunnen Uberkingen-Teinach | Manufacturing | 380 | $148M | Germany | SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | ERP Financial | 2006 |
In 2006, Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 to upgrade its core SAP environment and to deploy SAP ERP Human Capital Management, delivering ERP Financial capabilities across finance and operational traceability. The deployment targeted support for roughly 300 SAP users across eight manufacturing plants in Germany, where continuous production and pallet level traceability are business critical for compliance and order fulfillment.
The implementation was provisioned on IBM System i hardware, with an IBM System i 570 used for production and an i520 dedicated to test and quality assurance environments. The production i570 contains POWER5+ processors and both machines are partitioned into logical partitions using IBM POWER virtualization, enabling dynamic resource allocation for multiple SAP application instances. The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 application runs on i5 OS with the built in DB2 database, holding a 1.2 terabyte DB2 instance on an IBM System Storage DS8100 SAN, while IBM BladeCenter servers host additional applications.
Functional coverage included SAP ERP financial modules and SAP ERP HCM, with operational integrations explicitly tied to order capture and traceability workflows, including pallet scanning at the bottling plants and integration with telephone based customer service for rapid order entry. The company planned follow on integrations to introduce SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence and SAP CRM to extend analytics and mobile sales connectivity to the SAP environment.
Implementation and services were delivered in collaboration with Fritz & Macziol, an IBM Premier Business Partner, with Axians Germany also listed as a systems integrator partner and IBM providing the hardware platform. The project required use of specialized migration tools to adapt beverage specific applications to the new SAP release and leveraged an experienced in house SAP team alongside partners to execute cutover and validation across production and QA LPARs.
Operational governance emphasized high availability and low maintenance, supporting near 100 percent availability for business critical production systems and sub 0.5 second query response times for SAP transactions. The customer reported reduced operational costs and an expected payback period within 36 months, with roadmap plans to refresh the i520 to a POWER6 based System i and to expand SAP NetWeaver BI and CRM functionality. Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach SAP ERP ECC 6.0 ERP Financial thus centralized core finance and HCM processes on a virtualized IBM System i platform to meet production reliability and compliance needs.

Mineralbrunnen Uberkingen-Teinach | Manufacturing | 380 | $148M | Germany | SAP | SAP HCM (HR) | Core HR | 2007 |
In 2007, Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach implemented SAP HCM (HR) as part of an SAP ERP 6.0 upgrade, deploying Core HR functionality to support personnel and payroll operations across production and customer service functions. The SAP HCM (HR) rollout was intended to address strict EU-mandated batch traceability and high velocity order entry requirements, supporting roughly 300 SAP application users in the operational landscape.
The implementation delivered SAP ERP Human Capital Management modules aligned to Core HR use cases, including personnel administration, payroll and time management, configured within the SAP ERP 6.0 application stack. Fritz & Macziol, an IBM Premier Business Partner, led the hardware implementation, while Axians Germany was engaged as the SI VAR for integration and deployment tasks, coordinating with the internal SAP team and SAP support resources.
Deployment architecture centralized SAP HCM (HR) on IBM System i infrastructure with an IBM System i 570 as the production server and an i520 for test and quality assurance environments. The environment used IBM i5 OS with built in DB2 database services, a 1.2 terabyte DB2 instance hosted on an IBM System Storage DS8100 SAN, and IBM BladeCenter chassis for additional application workloads, with multiple LPARs on POWER processors enabling dynamic virtualization and resource reallocation.
Operational integrations included direct feeds from pallet scanning at bottling plants into the SAP ERP environment and tight coupling with telephone based customer service order entry systems, with future plans to extend analytics and mobile sales through SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence and SAP CRM. Governance and operations were simplified by the autonomic DB2 features and POWER LPAR virtualization, reducing routine maintenance to approximately one man hour per day and enabling rapid hardware reconfiguration for test and production roles.
Measured outcomes cited by the implementation included SAP query response times below 0.5 seconds, near 100 percent availability for business critical production systems, and reduced operational costs with a projected return on investment within 36 months.

Mineralbrunnen Uberkingen-Teinach | Manufacturing | 380 | $148M | Germany | IBM | IBM Db2 | Database Management | 2000 |
In 2000, Mineralbrunnen Uberkingen-Teinach implemented IBM Db2 to provide Database Management support for a major SAP ERP upgrade, including SAP ERP 6.0 and SAP ERP Human Capital Management 6.0. The deployment of IBM Db2 was executed on IBM System i servers running i5/OS with DB2 built in, aligning the database platform with the upgraded SAP application stack.
The production architecture centers on an IBM System i 570 server for live SAP workloads and an i520 supporting test and quality assurance environments, both partitioned into multiple logical partitions using IBM POWER virtualization. The environment stores a 1.2TB IBM Db2 database on an IBM System Storage DS8100 SAN, while IBM BladeCenter chassis host ancillary applications, enabling a separation of transactional SAP processing and other services.
Functional scope covers SAP ERP core modules and SAP ERP HCM, with operational workflows that include pallet scanning and batch traceability captured directly into the SAP environment. The SAP estate is integrated with telephone-based customer service processes, and the roadmap identified SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence and SAP CRM to extend BI and mobile sales integration. Implementation services were delivered with Fritz & Macziol, an IBM Premier Business Partner, and Axians Germany is recorded as the SI VAR.
Governance and operational outcomes are explicit, the System i and IBM Db2 combination delivering sub 0.5 second SAP query response times and near 100 percent availability for production systems that support continuous manufacturing hours. The i570 and i520 platforms run POWER5+ processors with dynamic LPAR resizing for workload agility, daily infrastructure maintenance reduced to approximately one man-hour, and operational cost reductions estimated to achieve return on investment within 36 months.
