SUCCESS STORY · GLOBAL CRANE MANUFACTURER
Global Crane Manufacturer｜SAP BW to Snowflake Migration, Accelerated by AI
KPC has migrated the SAP BW assets of an industrial group specializing in lifting equipment to Snowflake using BW Convert, an AI-driven KPC Product. Ten years of BW business logic is preserved and converted, not rewritten from scratch.

RESULTS
Customer results
Ten years of business rules preserved
BW semantics, KPIs, and aggregations are preserved and converted. Nothing is rewritten from scratch.
Customer results
A unified data platform at the France level
The group's various data platforms are streamlined on Snowflake. Common rules and Power BI reporting now apply to the whole.
Customer results
A build divided by 5
AI suggests, KPC validates and secures in an expert-in-the-loop cycle. The build cost is reduced by a factor of 5 compared to manual rewriting.

Context & central challenges
Les enjeux
Ten years of SAP BW heritage to modernize without losing it
This independent crane manufacturer, founded in 1902, operates on a global scale. In 2025, the group launched an overhaul of its data platform. The target relies on Snowflake, QCDI, and Talend for ingestion, and Power BI for reporting.
Its SAP BW heritage was running on version 7.3, which was at the end of its maintenance lifecycle. It concentrated ten years of business rules, KPIs, and aggregations: 400 transformations and 93 BEx queries. In addition, there was a new ERP (Infor) without integrated reporting and a fleet of reports, both from BW and non-BW, to be migrated into the new platform.
Migrate 400 BW transformations and 93 BEx queries to Snowflake without losing business logic
Migrate 420+ reports to Power BI (120 from BW, 300+ non-BW)
Rationalizing the group's data platforms globally, with common rules
Opening up data for future uses: unstructured data, AI, secure sharing

Our approach
Preserving what works, modernizing execution
The starting conviction is simple: do not throw away ten years of investment. The S/4HANA trajectory opens a window to convert the BW assets rather than rewriting them. BW Convert tools the migration from end to end. AI accelerates, the KPC expert validates.
Mapping & extraction
Mapping the BW heritage
BW Convert scans the BW system and reconstructs the lineage. The tool identifies which objects feed which indicators, which transformations are actually used, and the downstream impact of a change. It then extracts the ABAP code.
AI-assisted conversion
Convert Logic to Snowflake SQL
AI interprets the business logic and converts the ABAP code into optimized Snowflake SQL. Multi-agent validation then secures the result.
Platform & trade-in
Deploy and resume history
KPC implements the platform (Snowflake, ingestion, Power BI) according to a Bronze / Silver / Gold architecture. The history and reports are imported immediately after.
