Technology group Wärtsilä has successfully upgraded its SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) system by transitioning to the SAP S/4HANA Cloud platform across all its global operations in August 2025. The transition from the customised SAP ECC environment to the modern, world-leading SAP S/4HANA Cloud platform enabled by RISE with SAP, strengthens Wärtsilä’s digital core. Furthermore, it accelerates data-driven decision making, and enables the company to embed intelligence, optimisation and automation throughout its operations.
With SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Wärtsilä can now leverage advanced technologies, including AI, across its value chain, respond more rapidly to evolving customer needs and regulatory demands, and unlock significant opportunities for further operational improvements.
By gradually moving towards a cloud based clean core ERP domain, Wärtsilä will be well positioned to quickly address new business requirements, harness AI capabilities more effectively, and scale both operational and technical development initiatives faster across the organisation.
