A global SAP-based system upgrade

The Seargin team upgraded a custom Clinical Trial Management System, built on the SAP ERP from EHP5 to EHP8 version at one go.

As the system was planned to evolve to the next-generation CTMS — which it simply couldn’t be maintained on the EHP5 version of SAP — Seargin came to the rescue equipped with the right tools and certified expertise.

Our IT Teams secured both the application’s availability and security for people in 18 countries. A 4-month project, over 2,000 tests, and just a few days to complete the upgrade itself.

Before the Seargin team’s involvement, the client was battling operational chaos and lacked visibility into how the system performed. 

The employees using the system weren’t happy either – they faced an ever-growing number of incidents and bugs. They also experienced long waiting time not only to have the reported issues fixed but also to have new functionalities and improvements developed. 

Our teams achieved the system’s stability by implementing transparent processes and a unique Coordination Model, which helped them switch from fire-fighting mode to preventing management.

"The upgrade was essential to improving the system performance and security, and to enable further system enhancements. Being stuck with the EHP5 version of SAP prevented the client from launching new business functions,"

Marceli Sypień, the Project Manager at Seargin, who, together with the Project Manager from the client’s site, worked on the system upgrade, explains.

In Seargin’s coordination model we trust

Picture this — none of the employees witnessed the system upgrade in 7 years. Getting the end-users onboard and empowering them during a what-could-be-a-stressful-for-them system upgrade was essential. After all, the system is there to support and simplify their everyday jobs.
“From the beginning, I understood the importance of communicating and supporting people who use the system. We couldn’t allow the upgrade project to become a burden for end-users,” Marceli Sypień explains.
That’s why training, regular updates with employees in 18 countries (such as Germany, Switzerland, Argentina, Australia, Spain, and more) and developing contingency plans became an integral part of the project.
After the hard work, all planning and preparation steps, chasing people and check-in calls, we are more than relieved that the upgrade went smoothly. Your orchestration was really superb and we thank you very much for that.
