SNP SE, a leading software provider for digital transformation, automated data migration, and data management in SAP environment, has successfully delivered a complex SAP S/4HANA transformation project for Al-Futtaim, one of the Middle East’s most diversified and respected family-owned businesses. The project was executed in close collaboration with IBM Consulting, the system integration partner for AFG.
As part of its broader digital transformation strategy, Al-Futtaim Automotive, a division of Al-Futtaim, partnered with SNP and IBM to modernize and future-proof its SAP environment. The project involved converting a 16-terabyte SAP ECC system to SAP S/4HANA, an initiative of significant scale and complexity.

“This project showcases what can be achieved when deep expertise and partnership come together,” says Jens Amail, CEO of SNP SE. “I am humbled to meet our partners at Al-Futtaim Group here in Dubai to celebrate this milestone together. Their trust in SNP underscores our commitment to the region, supporting their growth journey as they embrace digital transformation.”

By establishing a unified SAP S/4HANA digital core, we are strengthening the foundations of our enterprise, enhancing data-driven decision-making, and positioning our businesses to scale with greater agility. This milestone reflects our commitment to building a future-ready organization powered by strong partnerships and world-class technology.”
