Paccar | Automotive | 30100 | $33.7B | United States | SAP | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | 2018 |
In 2018, Paccar implemented SAP S/4 HANA as its ERP Financial platform, migrating from SAP ERP ECC 6.0 to leverage in-memory processing and real-time analytics. The program targeted the company’s global financial operations, parts distribution, and PACCAR Financial Services to address anticipated data growth and higher processing and memory demands.
Configuration work centered on SAP S/4 HANA financial capabilities, including core financials, general ledger and consolidation workflows, accounts payable and accounts receivable processes, and embedded SAP HANA analytics. Efforts emphasized transactional throughput tuning, data model alignment, and housekeeping to enable faster close and unified financial reporting across finance, parts, and service business functions.
Mainline Information Systems served as the SI VAR and guided selection of IBM Power System E980 servers based on POWER9 processors to host SAP S/4 HANA. The technical architecture migrated workloads from IBM Power System E880C to the E980 using IBM Live Partition Mobility with support from IBM Lab Services, achieving zero downtime while enabling dynamic resource allocation and scaling from roughly 2TB per system toward planned 5 to 10TB per system and larger memory footprints supported by the platform.
Program governance included a formal comparative study of IBM Power Systems versus Intel x86 commissioned by management and a decision to standardize on POWER9 for HANA workloads. Explicit outcomes reported in the engagement included systems running with six to ten times more resources, server consolidation, rapid scalability to much larger memory capacities, fewer required software licenses, and a planned migration of remaining SAP HANA sidecar systems onto the IBM Power System E980.

Paccar | Automotive | 30100 | $33.7B | United States | SAP | SAP HANA | Database Management | 2018 |
In 2018, Paccar migrated from SAP Db2 to SAP HANA as a Database Management initiative to support SAP S/4HANA in-memory workloads. Mainline Information Systems guided the engagement and recommended an IBM Power System E980 platform based on a comparative study against Intel x86, aligning the SAP HANA deployment to anticipated growth from roughly 2TB per system toward five to ten terabytes and projections of up to eight terabytes per system.
The SAP HANA implementation centralized the in-memory database tier for SAP S/4HANA, emphasizing memory capacity and processing throughput typical of Database Management projects. The deployment leverages POWER9 processors in IBM Power System E980 hardware to enable dynamic resource allocation and rapid scalability, with platform specifications cited to support configurations up to 64 terabytes of memory. Migration activities included live system mobility to the E980, enabling a zero downtime cutover for critical SAP HANA instances.
Operational coverage for SAP HANA spans enterprise functions that include manufacturing operations, financial services, parts distribution, and 24/7 customer support centers, reflecting Paccar’s global sales and aftermarket networks. The technical scope documented consolidation of SAP HANA systems onto the IBM Power System E980, running with six to ten times more resources per system, and plans to migrate remaining SAP HANA sidecar systems onto the same platform for uniform Database Management operations.
Governance and rollout were informed by Mainline Information Systems and supported with IBM Live Partition Mobility services from IBM Lab Services during the lift and shift to POWER9 hardware. The implementation narrative records explicit outcomes from the engagement including zero downtime migration, consolidation of servers, and stated cost savings via reduced software license requirements, while Mainline remains the named systems integrator for the deployment.

Paccar | Automotive | 30100 | $33.7B | United States | IBM | IBM Power Systems | Application Hosting and Computing Services | 2018 |
In 2018, Paccar deployed IBM Power Systems as its Application Hosting and Computing Services platform to support SAP S/4HANA and SAP HANA workloads. The engagement upgraded core compute to POWER9 based IBM Power System E980 hardware and was positioned to meet anticipated data growth per system to between 5 and 10 terabytes with headroom for future scaling.
The implementation configured IBM Power System E980 servers to provide large in‑memory capacity and dynamic resource allocation, leveraging IBM Live Partition Mobility services to migrate production workloads from an IBM Power System E880C with zero downtime. The IBM Power Systems deployment emphasized high memory pools, partition mobility, and server consolidation to maximize throughput for in‑memory processing.
Integrations focused on Paccar’s SAP environment, running SAP S/4HANA and SAP HANA databases, including migration of SAP HANA Sidecar systems onto the Power9 platform. The deployment supported critical business functions across manufacturing, parts distribution, and Paccar Financial Services, aligning host compute with enterprise SAP workloads and large scale in‑memory analytics.
Governance and decision making included a month long comparative study led by Paccar and Mainline Information Systems that evaluated IBM Power Systems versus Intel x86 alternatives, and concluded POWER9 met scalability and performance requirements. Mainline Information Systems guided selection and execution, IBM Lab Services executed Live Partition Mobility, and Paccar reported outcomes explicitly as cost savings from fewer software licenses, systems running with six to ten times more resources, rapid scalability up to 64 terabytes of memory, improved infrastructure resilience, server consolidation, and the ability to add additional E980 systems for lower cost performance gains.
