Indigo | Retail | 5000 | $850M | Canada | SAP | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | 2020 |
In 2020, Indigo implemented SAP S/4 HANA as its core ERP Financial platform, initiating a cloud-first rehosting program to move SAP workloads off IBM Power on-premises infrastructure. Indigo migrated from SAP ERP ECC 6.0 and scoped the implementation to cover critical distribution center functions including finance, merchandise, inventory control and sales across 177 stores and three warehouses, with an IT organization of roughly 180 staff supporting more than 200 interfaces and over 60 terabytes of production data.
The SAP S/4 HANA deployment was architected alongside a broad SAP landscape that included SAP SCM, three instances of SAP EWM, SAP BW, SAP Gateway with Fiori, SAP Solution Manager and SAP PI, running on SAP HANA Platform 2.0 and Oracle databases. Configuration and functional focus emphasized core financials and integrated warehouse and inventory workflows, while leveraging BW for analytics and Fiori for user-facing gateways to transactional processes.
Deployment used a lift and shift rehosting approach to IBM Power for Google Cloud IP4G on Google Cloud, selected to preserve IBM Power compatibility while gaining public cloud elasticity and regional resilience. oXya, a Hitachi Group company, served as the system integrator and executed the migration methodology, delivering the cutover as a controlled big bang and validating the migration through test environments and a formal QA phase prior to go live on March 17, 2023.
Project governance was organized under Project Aurora with an agile, solution-oriented delivery team, a documented migration recipe, staged QA testing and a coordinated cutover plan to minimize downtime for end users. Operational handover included sustained knowledge transfer and continued support under oXya managed services to stabilize operations and bridge skill gaps in the in-house IT team.
Indigo reported explicit operational outcomes from the migration, including improved cybersecurity posture, higher system availability and reduced service interruptions, greater agility for SAP updates, and more flexible public cloud resource management. The IP4G architecture and IBM Power CPUs delivered measured performance improvements up to twice prior speeds, backup of the largest 20 terabyte database was reduced from 48 hours to under 5 hours, and the environment gained a secondary-region backup for additional resilience, while the move supported Indigo objectives to lower ongoing maintenance cost and total cost of ownership.

Indigo | Retail | 5000 | $850M | Canada | IBM | IBM Power Systems | Application Hosting and Computing Services | 2020 |
In 2020, Indigo implemented IBM Power Systems as part of an Application Hosting and Computing Services initiative to rehost and modernize its SAP estate to the cloud. The program targeted SAP applications that support distribution centre operations and core back office functions, affecting finance, merchandise, inventory control and sales across 177 stores and three warehouses, with an IT organization of roughly 180 people.
The implementation consolidated SAP ECC, SAP SCM, SAP EWM across three instances, SAP BW, SAP Gateway with Fiori, SAP Solution Manager and SAP PI onto IBM Power Systems and the IBM Power for Google Cloud platform. Databases included SAP HANA Platform 2.0 and Oracle Database, with configuration focused on lift and shift rehosting to preserve existing application topology while enabling cloud-based resource elasticity and higher CPU performance.
Architecturally the program addressed a complex ecosystem of more than 200 interfaces and more than 60 terabytes of production data, including a largest database of 20 terabytes. The target deployment used IBM Power for Google Cloud on Google Cloud, adding a secondary region backup site for resilience and reducing full database backup windows from 48 hours on-premises to under five hours on IP4G.
Governance and execution were driven by an agile, solution oriented project team led by Indigo and supported by oXya, a Hitachi Group company, under Project Aurora. The team executed a Big Bang rehosting approach with staged testing and quality assurance, completed cutover with minimized downtime, and advanced the March 17, 2023 go live four weeks ahead of schedule after successful QA cycles.
Outcomes reported by Indigo included improved cybersecurity posture, increased agility for SAP updates, higher system availability with fewer interruptions, and flexible resource management in the public cloud. Performance gains were achieved through modern IBM Power CPUs on IP4G, with processing speeds reported up to twice as fast, and the oXya engagement transitioned into ongoing managed services for the full SAP scope to sustain operations and support continued optimization.

NaTran (ex GRTgaz) | Oil, Gas and Chemicals | 3787 | $2.7B | France | SAP | SAP Solution Manager (ex SolMan) | Application Lifecycle Management | 2021 |
In 2021, NaTran (ex GRTgaz) implemented SAP Solution Manager (ex SolMan) as its Application Lifecycle Management platform. SAP Solution Manager was deployed into the S/4HANA on AWS landscape as part of the broader SAP program executed with implementation partner oXya, a Hitachi Group company, and installed on the customer AWS landing zone in alignment with GRTgaz architecture and security rules. The deployment incorporated infrastructure as code patterns to enable rapid provisioning of environments and disaster recovery readiness, and installation activities were performed in accordance with the security constraints defined by GRTgaz.
SAP Solution Manager was configured to deliver core Application Lifecycle Management functions including system monitoring, change control, transport management, test management and incident management to support the S/4HANA footprint. The Solution Manager instance was used to manage functional areas implemented in the program, specifically extended warehouse management eWM and quality management QM, and it was connected to the SAP SaaS finance capabilities SAC Planning and AFC to provide centralized lifecycle governance across on-premises and SaaS components. Change control workflows in Solution Manager governed a greenfield return to SAP standard for most processes while accommodating a brownfield migration approach for the CMMS that retained required customizations.
The implementation integrated Solution Manager with key SAP landscape components recorded in the program, including SAPRouter, WebDispatcher, Content Server, GRC and SAP BTP, to centralize monitoring, transport orchestration and configuration management. Integration and security patterns addressed SSL certificate management via AWS Certificate Manager and API exposure requirements, with the S/4HANA backend connected through an Apigee layer using AWS API Gateway for external interfaces. oXya was responsible for building and installing the SAP systems and configuring Solution Manager within the AWS landing zone, ensuring operational alignment with GRTgaz in-house cloud operations and ongoing managed services.
Project governance established committees chaired by project decision-makers, requiring each business unit to demonstrate the relevance of deviations from SAP standard prior to approval, and Solution Manager was used to enforce those governance, change control and release procedures. The program delivered better IS performance for business units, and the broader S/4HANA landscape reached production with a big bang go-live in January 2023 after the multi-year program initiated in April 2020.
