Reducing Deployment Time of SAP S/4HANA From a Few Days to Less Than an Hour
How Rizing went from installing and configuring SAP S/4HANA systems from a few days to an hour
Download Case StudyChallenge
Before Chef, deploying an SAP S/4HANA system into a fully demo-able state for new and existing clients was manual and took several days.
Solution
Adopted the entire Chef Enterprise Automation Stack (EAS) as an end-to-end solution by:
- Deploying Chef Habitat to isolate and manage application dependencies
- Using Chef Infra to run the installation, configuration and ensure it’s done correctly
- Leveraging Chef InSpec to harden infrastructure and continuously configure and secure OS
- Using Chef Automate to ensure observability into ongoing operations and system integrity
Chef Professional Services were used to help accelerate the automation process and ensure adherence to best practices.
Impact
This implementation has enabled Rizing to go from installing an entire SAP S/4HANA system, configuring it, and putting sample customer data in a few days, down to an hour.
