Deloitte, SAP, and the Toronto Transit Commission's (TTC's) solid planning, teamwork, and commitment to excellence led to unprecedented migration speed, with reduced costs, verified data integrity, and no disruptions to end users.
Is it possible to change the wheels of a vehicle while it's still in motion?
That’s the analogy Surya Pratap, Senior Director – SAP Program at the TTC, uses to describe what Deloitte and the TTC accomplished together during their migration to RISE with SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud.
While migrations on this scale often take up to 9 months, Deloitte and SAP helped the TTC complete theirs in just 14 weeks.
The project brought the TTC’s technology onto a modern, resilient cloud platform designed to enable supply chain transformation and keep Toronto moving.
At every milestone there was shared accountability, transparency, and trust, which allowed us to collaborate to achieve this together.
