In 2017, Supreme Petrochem implemented IBM Power Systems as the foundation of an SAP S/4HANA initiative to increase production capacity while reducing energy and environmental impact. This deployment is classified in the Application Hosting and Computing Services category and focused on centralizing ERP, back office automation, and order processing workloads.
The technical architecture centers on a single IBM Power Systems S824 server running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications, with IBM PowerVM used to create multiple virtual environments and Virtual Persistent Memory to accelerate restarts and reduce downtime. SAP S/4HANA was hosted on the IBM Power Systems S824 to consolidate production workloads, the database, and a development environment on one platform, reducing data center footprint and simplifying system administration.
Storage and connectivity were implemented with IBM FlashSystem 5000 to hold SAP S/4HANA backups and critical application data including email and unstructured files, paired with a Cisco MDS 16GB SAN Switch to increase resiliency and provide port capacity for future scale. Functional capabilities implemented included automated online order processing and payments, integrated financial processing for faster month end reporting, and virtualized application isolation across environments to support production and development workflows. These changes impacted sales order management, finance and accounting reporting, production planning, inventory management, and IT operations.
Governance and rollout combined vendor services and a rapid migration timeline, SPL migrated its SAP environment from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA within three months, followed by a month long user acceptance testing period prior to go live. Implementation support was provided by Intellect Bizware for SAP S/4HANA configuration and deployment, with IBM Systems Lab Services provisioning the IBM Power System S824 and IBM FlashSystem 5000 for optimized performance. Explicit results reported include automated online order processing and payments that support sales growth, reduced capital requirements for raw materials and finished goods inventory management, an 85 percent reduction in time to complete month end reporting, more than 60 percent faster system restart processes, and CPU utilization under 50 percent during peak periods.
