Abt Global | Professional Services | 3600 | $600M | United States | Oracle | Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Application Hosting and Computing Services | 2023 |
In 2023, Abt Global implemented Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to host its Oracle E-Business Suite environments, positioning the project within its Application Hosting and Computing Services strategy. The deployment of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure supports enterprise application hosting and was selected to improve performance, security, and operational agility.
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure implementation consolidated compute, storage, and network provisioning to run Oracle E-Business Suite workloads, and incorporated automation for provisioning and deployment pipelines. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure was configured to enable deployment flexibility across environments and to introduce zero trust data security controls as part of the hosting layer.
Implementation partner Syntax Systems Limited led the technical deployment and integration activities, working with Abt Global IT and security teams to operationalize automation and security tooling. The work focused on standardizing application hosting patterns within the Application Hosting and Computing Services category and aligning operational playbooks for ongoing IT operations and security management.
Governance changes centered on embedding automated deployment workflows and zero trust data protections into release and infrastructure processes. The program is expected to reduce hosting costs by 35 percent while improving deployment flexibility and strengthening data security, outcomes that were explicit targets of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure implementation.

Ascend Performance Materials | Manufacturing | 3600 | $3.2B | United States | SAP | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | 2016 |
In 2016, Ascend Performance Materials implemented SAP S/4 HANA as an ERP Financial application, with Syntax engaged as the implementation partner. The engagement positioned SAP S/4 HANA within an existing SAP landscape that included ECC 6.0 Ehp7 Netweaver Gateway with Fiori 1.0 and 2.0, BW 7.4, BPC 10, CRM 7.0, SCM 7.0, HANA 1.0 and 2.0, BOBJ 4.1 and 4.2, TREX, GRC 10.0, and Lumira 1.23, supporting over 1,000 users across SBX, DEV, TEST, and PRD systems.
The deployment architecture emphasized cloud hosting and disaster recovery design, including procurement of a new data center and migration planning to a Freudenberg cloud environment. A Proof of Concept was conducted in AWS to build and validate a cloud-based SAP S/4 HANA instance and a mock database copy, providing comparative performance analysis against the on-premises S/4 HANA instance. Solution Manager 7.2 was built and configured to centralize system monitoring, quarterly system refreshes were performed, and SAP notes, enhancement packs, and upgrades were applied across 11 SAP systems.
Functional coverage spanned core ERP Financial processing alongside planning and analytics capabilities, given the presence of BPC and BOBJ in the landscape, and extended to CRM and SCM business functions. Integrations were executed between SAP S/4 HANA and bolt-on systems, business intelligence layers, and the SAP basis infrastructure, with administration of SQL, MySQL, and Sybase databases on Windows and Linux servers supporting the runtime environment.
Operational governance included a senior SAP basis architect-led model for upgrade, patching, and performance tuning, and a migration execution plan that moved the full SAP landscape in a compressed timeline. The cloud migration of SBX, DEV, TEST, and PRD was completed in three weeks, one week ahead of schedule, yielding a reported first-month combined savings of $2.3 million, and subsequent S/4 HANA placement into the Freudenberg cloud was cited as producing an annual savings estimate of $4 million per year.

Ascend Performance Materials | Manufacturing | 3600 | $3.2B | United States | IBM | IBM Power Systems | Application Hosting and Computing Services | 2016 |
In 2016, Ascend Performance Materials deployed IBM Power Systems as its Application Hosting and Computing Services platform, engaging Syntax as the systems integrator to provision compute and hosting for its SAP landscape. The IBM Power Systems implementation was positioned to support more than 1000 SAP users across development and production tiers, and to serve as the primary on-premises and hosted compute layer for critical ERP and analytics workloads.
The deployment supported a broad set of SAP modules and bolt-ons, including ECC 6.0 Ehp7 with Netweaver Gateway and Fiori 1.0 and 2.0, BW 7.4, BPC 10, CRM 7.0, SCM 7.0, HANA 1.0 and 2.0, BOBJ 4.1 and 4.2, TREX, GRC 10.0, and Lumira 1.23. Administration responsibilities implemented on IBM Power Systems included upgrade and patch management across 11 SAP systems, daily performance monitoring, quarterly system refreshes, application of SAP notes and enhancement packs, and building and supporting Solution Manager 7.2. Underlying database platforms hosted on the IBM Power Systems estate included SQL, MySQL, and Sybase on Windows and Linux servers.
Architecturally the program combined IBM Power Systems hosting with multi-cloud experimentation and cloud migration design, including disaster recovery design and a proof of concept using AWS to build a cloud S4HANA instance and a mock database for performance comparison. Project work included procurement and migration planning for a new data center and hosting provider, plus execution of a migration of SAP and bolt-on systems from an IBM cloud tenancy to the Freudenberg cloud, covering SBX, DEV, TEST, and PRD test cycles. IBM Power Systems remained the core application hosting layer for on-premises and hosted stacks while cloud environments were used for DR and S4HANA validation.
Governance and operations were formalized through a program led by Ascend SAP basis and architecture resources with Syntax supporting implementation activities, and included system migration project management, technical design authority, and coordinated cutover and test plans. The migration execution completed test cycles ahead of schedule and produced explicitly stated financial outcomes, including combined first-month savings of 2.3 million dollars from the cloud migration and an indicated 4 million dollars per year saving associated with the S4HANA migration path.
