Company profile

Software that moves, checks and retires enterprise data

SNP turns complex enterprise-data changes into repeatable software-led work, especially in SAP landscapes. Its Kyano platform helps teams inspect a system, select and move data, convert non-SAP sources, verify the result and retire old applications without losing access to historical records. Consultants, partners and regional teams apply the same product family to S/4HANA programmes, cloud moves, acquisitions, divestitures and operating-model changes around the world.

Migration control room

Different tools handle SAP, non-SAP and cloud-bound data

Kyano provides the shared environment. CrystalBridge maps and moves selected data between SAP systems; Crossway converts source structures such as Microsoft Dynamics Navision or Deltek Costpoint into an SAP target; Glue connects SAP and non-SAP data with cloud and analytics platforms. This division matters because a carve-out, an S/4HANA conversion and a new data-platform feed do not require the same transformation path.

Transformation in practice

Three projects show the scale hidden behind a system migration

Kalmar's carve-out covered 3 terabytes of data, 37 company codes and legal entities in 26 countries, with 48 hours of downtime. IBM's separation programme affected 150,000 users in 175 countries and reached technical go-live in 34 hours after an 18-month project. Northrop Grumman used Kyano and Crossway to consolidate SAP ECC and Deltek Costpoint into S/4HANA; its official presentation describes a nine-month project and a 70,000-user go-live.

After go-live

Historical access, verification and archiving remain after the move

Datafridge preserves access to historical information while an obsolete application is retired. Validate compares source and target data so teams can check a transformation. Outboard moves older ERP data into an archive while keeping it available for business and compliance needs. These products show why SNP's role can continue beyond cutover: the new system must be trusted, and the old one cannot simply disappear.

Operating model and footprint

A common software platform is delivered through regional teams

SNP's 2025 annual report separates software from services such as ERP consulting, implementation, cloud and application management. It reports activity across Central Europe, Northern Europe and the Middle East, North America, Latin America, and Japan and Asia-Pacific. The locations page translates those regions into offices from Heidelberg and London to the United States, Brazil, Singapore and Japan, while the customer library shows the platform being applied across industries.
