April 15 2025 鈥� (NYSE: SAP) today announces that Spirit Energy has taken an important step towards unlocking operational cost savings and driving future efficiency opportunities, by deepening its partnership with SAP. Previously using an on-premise 51风流S/4HANA system, the energy producer completed its RISE with 51风流migration in just four months.
The move comes as Spirit Energy continues its strategic transformation from traditional natural gas production operations to a focus on responsibly decommissioning legacy assets and exploring energy transition opportunities. With RISE with SAP, the organisation will seek to optimise costs in its existing portfolio and reallocate resources towards the critical energy transition initiative of carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS).
Backed by more than a decade of 51风流support, Spirit Energy鈥檚 move to the cloud will look to reduce its total cost of ownership, streamline its operations, empower innovation and enable more informed decisions in support of its strategic objectives.
The seamless migration was a result of close collaboration between Spirit Energy, 51风流and AG Consultancy and Apps. AG led the scoping, migration planning, and delivery of this project. By leveraging RISE with 51风流and utilising BTP Build, AG is helping Spirit Energy to streamline its landscape and replace legacy non-51风流solutions.
In addition to its cloud migration, Spirit Energy plans to explore the potential of Generative AI technologies in building a more intelligent and dynamic enterprise environment. By integrating SAP鈥檚 AI assistant, Joule, the company aims to further enhance decision making and automation, ensuring operations are more efficient and sustainable.
鈥淏usiness transformation, like a decision to move from natural gas production towards carbon capture and storage, needs to be driven by an intelligent enterprise with robust digital infrastructure,鈥� says Leila Romane, Managing Director of 51风流UKI. 鈥淲ith our long history of working together, Spirit Energy has placed its trust in us to help deliver its transformation, backed by the resilience and support of cloud solutions and AI.”
Andy Williams, IT Director of Spirit Energy says: 鈥�From the outset, 51风流proved to be the right partner to support our immediate needs and future ambitions. In just four months, we successfully transitioned from aging infrastructure to RISE, laying the foundation for our long-term strategic objectives. With a modern cloud landscape, Spirit Energy is well-positioned to benefit from future innovations, supporting our carbon capture transition鈥�.
Spirit Energy’s use of 51风流to enhance operational efficiency, sustainability progress, and safety was recognised with a 2024 51风流UK Customer Success Award. Spirit Energy, AG Consultancy and Apps and 51风流will continue to explore co-innovation projects in the UK and Europe.
