Baylor College of Medicine | Education | 3586 | $2.5B | United States | SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | ERP Financial | 2008 |
In 2008, Baylor College of Medicine deployed SAP ERP ECC 6.0 as its core ERP Financial application to consolidate and standardize finance and payroll operations across its education, research and healthcare missions. The deployment framed SAP ERP ECC 6.0 as the authoritative system for financials, payroll and billing workflows that support clinical operations, grant administration and institutional research funding processes.
The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 implementation was provisioned on three IBM Power 570 servers running IBM PowerVM virtualization and IBM AIX, forming a consolidated, high availability data center architecture designed for energy efficiency and performance. Configuration focused on financial modules and payroll processing automation within SAP ERP ECC 6.0, aligning financial close, accounts payable, accounts receivable and payroll execution to centralized transaction and reporting flows.
Mark Iii Systems worked with IBM Migration Factory to execute the consolidation and platform implementation, coordinating blueprinting, data consolidation and application cutover tasks while preserving continuous access to mission critical systems. Operational ownership was shared between Baylor IT Operations and Baylor SAP Support Services, with go-live validation and cutover sequencing structured to protect electronic medical records and patient management availability.
Operational coverage included finance and HR payroll for the institution, clinical billing and scheduling systems interfacing with financial processes, research grant management and enterprise e-mail infrastructure that supported administrative workflows. The go-live was reported as transparent to end users, and the SAP Support Services team managed post-live stabilization and ongoing SAP operational support.
Documented outcomes from the project included a 60 percent reduction in rack footprint for the SAP environment, greater than 40 percent savings in cooling and power, an overall 30 percent performance improvement for the consolidated platform, and a measured payroll processing time reduction exemplified by a 213 percent improvement during an urgent 2008 payroll run. Governance relied on the IBM Migration Factory delivery model together with Baylor’s internal SAP support governance to mitigate cutover risk and coordinate post-implementation operational processes.

Baylor College of Medicine | Education | 3586 | $2.5B | United States | IBM | IBM PowerVM | Network Virtualisation | 2008 |
In 2008, Baylor College of Medicine deployed IBM PowerVM as the virtualization layer within a broader IBM Power Systems solution to deliver an energy-smart, high-availability infrastructure. The implementation used IBM PowerVM within a Network Virtualisation architecture on three IBM Power 570 servers running IBM AIX, consolidating 32 Sun servers to provide a scalable platform to support the institution’s education, research and clinical missions and to accommodate an upcoming hospital build and a planned SAP upgrade.
The deployment focused on server consolidation and workload virtualization, with IBM PowerVM providing partitioning and virtualization management and AIX as the operating environment for migrated applications. Configuration centered on dense consolidation onto three POWER processor based 570 systems to improve performance and reduce physical footprint, while preserving the ability to run mission critical workloads such as SAP enterprise resource planning.
Integration and operational coverage explicitly included Baylor’s SAP ERP environment, electronic medical records and patient management systems including billing and scheduling, research and grant management applications, e-mail services and non-scheduled payroll processing for the medical center workforce. Houston based Mark Iii Systems acted as the IBM Premier Business Partner and the project leveraged the IBM Migration Factory to design, blueprint and execute the workload migrations into the IBM PowerVM and AIX environment.
Governance and rollout were executed through the IBM Migration Factory process with joint design and implementation coordination, producing a transparent go-live and minimal end user disruption. Reported outcomes from the implementation included reduced energy costs and data center space, a 60 percent reduction in SAP rack footprint, better than 40 percent savings in cooling and power, an overall 30 percent performance improvement and a payroll run completed in four hours, cited as a 213 percent improvement versus the prior UNIX processing.
