Problem

What doesn't work

After SAP's exit from Russia, the operator of 140K+ railcars lost support for critical systems (SAP S/4, SAP TM, SAP EM, SAP BW). 31% of SAP TM functionality was covered out-of-box by any solution — the remaining 69% required custom development. Continued SAP use carried licensing and operational risks.

Solution

Architectural approach

Architecture design for target solution: 4-variant weighted analysis of replacement systems with scoring criteria. Evaluation across 10+ criteria: functional coverage, TCO, implementation timeline, risks, competency availability. Recommendation with justification for the Board of Directors.

My role & contribution

CTO / Technical Director

Personally developed the 4-variant weighted scoring methodology with 10+ criteria. Decomposed SAP TM into 100+ business processes and conducted gap analysis (31% OOTB). Prepared Board justification. Defined zero-downtime cutover strategy.
