Global Specialty Chemical Business Spin-Off – Quote I
As part of a global divestiture, with over 32 involved countries across five continents, the SolutionXchg team supported a 8 month long effort to separate all business documents of a global specialty chemical business from its parent company. Under strong restrictions regarding possible performance impacts on an ailing Documentum system that suffered almost daily interruptions and with minimal impact on the business operations of the parent company, we separated 12.1 million documents from a parent company archive of 34.5 million. Moving from an on-premise environment to a Cloud environment with limit performance required precise planning and a 24 hour operation to maximize throughput and keep the project on track, having all document migrated in time for a full big-bang go-live.
“Thank you Jochen! What a big effort! You did really great! What a great job from all of you! We are highly satisfied with the Document Migration. And thanks for checking on again. We believe we captured all documents in our migration – no tickets on missing documents, even 6 months later. Thanks again for all your great work!”
7 months into a 12 months divestiture project, it became clear to the divesture management team, that archived PDF documents, attached to SAP, had to be included in the scope of the SAP system split efforts. SolutionXchg was contacted by KGS and implementation Partner enowa and tasks to jump onto the running project train steaming at full speed towards a November 1st delivery date, with steep penalties attached to any delays. SolutionXchg developed a phased approach based on a primary migration and several delta migrations, closely following the SAP split cycles 2, 3, and 4. Always on standby and working through nights and on weekends, the SolXchg team managed to deliver the data in time, on budget, and with great accuracy.
“Thank you Jochen, and if I do not speak with you again, now that the project comes to an end, I wanted to say, you have been a wonderful partner to work with! You matched with the team very well! I hope our partner enowa can get you into additional opportunities. Thanks again for all your great work!”

“I was chatting with [our mother company’s] IT Global head today and I expressed how impressed I was with the cost of the KGS solutions and your ability to implement it flawlessly. He asked that I share your contact information.”
