With two of the continent\u2019s most ambitious industrial projects underway, Nigeria\u2019s Dangote Group has achieved the seemingly-impossible with an SAP-led digital transformation that was completed in record time.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe want our Refinery to be not just the largest single train Refinery in the world but also the most modern and smart Refinery with the latest state-of-the-art technologies like SAP S\/4HANA 1909,\u201d says Mr.Devakumar Edwin, Group Executive Director,Dangote Group.<\/p>\n According to Ramakrishna Potluri, Head \u2013 IT & Business Applications (Refinery), the Dangote Refinery and Fertiliser strategic business units upgraded their SAP landscape to SAP S\/4HANA 1909 in mere six days. \u201cThe upgrade affected all three systems landscapes \u2013 development, quality assurance and production environments \u2013 and required excellent collaboration between the Dangote internal SAP Centre of Excellence team and the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud teams. Despite being spread across four continents and three time zones, the project teams managed to work round the clock to achieve a full upgrade within six business days. The upgrade is important for our Oil & Gas businesses to enable with SAP\u2019s latest IS-Oil industry solution\u201d.<\/p>\n The Dangote Group is currently constructing the World\u2019s largest single train Oil Refinery in the Lekki Free Zone near Lagos. The refinery will process up to 650,000 barrels of oil per day to produce 10.4 million tons of gasoline, 4.6 million tons of diesel and four million tons of jet fuel per year.<\/p>\n Commissioning of the Dangote Fertilizer plant is currently in its final stages in Lagos at the same location as the refinery. Once completed, it will be the largest in the world, with capacity for three million tons of fertiliser a year, enough to meet all domestic demand.<\/p>\n \u201cThis project required exceptional levels of support and collaboration and was driven by a highly-skilled and diverse team of specialists,\u201d says Pedro Guerreiro, Managing Director, SAP Central Africa. \u201cThrough an on-going commitment to customer success during all stages of the implementation, the team was also able to help Dangote take major steps toward achieving their intelligent enterprise ambitions. The new system landscape will support the growth of these vital strategic business units for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With two of the continent\u2019s most ambitious industrial projects underway, Nigeria\u2019s Dangote Group has achieved the seemingly-impossible with an SAP-led digital transformation that was completed…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":140550,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"related_posts":[],"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[5598198,7771,5597582,177,7737],"tags":[5598753,5596416,5598754,1495401,5565373,38269,5598766],"series":[],"sapn-display":[279685],"sapn-type":[45018],"class_list":["post-140549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-technology-platform","category-customer","category-erp","category-industries","category-solutions","tag-central-africa","tag-dangote-group","tag-https-news-sap-com-africa-tags-central-africa","tag-oil-and-gas","tag-pedro-guerreiro","tag-sap-hana-enterprise-cloud","tag-sap-s-4hana","sapn-display-hero","sapn-type-feature"],"yoast_head":"\n
