The benefits of migrating our SAP ERP system from

Oracle to the SAP ASE database have been

outstanding. We’ve improved performance by at

least 100%, significantly simplified system

administration, and expect to reduce our TCO by

half. SAP Services helped ensure our effort was a

success by streamlining our migration process,

optimizing the system for our use and providing post

go-live support and on-site training for a worry-free

hand-off.

Oracle to SAP HANA Migration: University of Kentucky

The benefits of the migration of our SAP ERP

system to SAP ASE from Oracle are clear: In just

2 months we achieved performance surpassing

that on Oracle which took us six years of

tuning to achieve. We were able to compress

data by 60% saving us storage space and costs.

And, our TCO was reduced even further with

significantly simplified administration removing

staff overtime requirements. SAP ASE on SAP

ERP is providing the technology to help fuel our

company growth.”
