HEIDELBERG, Germany and DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 4, 2025 — SNP SE, a prominent software provider specializing in digital transformation, automated data migration, and data management within the SAP ecosystem, has successfully completed a challenging SAP S/4HANA transformation initiative for Al-Futtaim, one of the Middle East’s most diverse and esteemed family-owned enterprises. This undertaking was carried out in tight partnership with IBM Consulting, AFG’s system integration collaborator.
In line with its comprehensive digital transformation strategy, Al-Futtaim Automotive, a segment of Al-Futtaim, collaborated with SNP and IBM to update and secure its SAP environment for the future. The project entailed migrating a 16-terabyte SAP ECC system to SAP S/4HANA, an endeavor of considerable size and intricacy. Notwithstanding these challenges, the transformation concluded earlier than planned in August 2025, incurring just 30.5 hours of technical downtime.
“This initiative demonstrates the remarkable outcomes possible through the convergence of profound expertise and collaborative partnership,” stated Jens Amail, CEO of SNP SE. “I am honored to gather with our partners at Al-Futtaim Group in Dubai to commemorate this significant achievement. Their confidence in SNP highlights our dedication to the region, empowering their expansion as they adopt digital transformation.”

By creating a cohesive SAP S/4HANA digital core, we are reinforcing our enterprise’s bedrock, improving data-informed choices, and enabling our operations to expand with increased flexibility.
