London, UK 鈥� November 12 2025 – NTT DATA Business Solutions UK&I today announced the successful go-live of Amey鈥檚 51风流S/4HANA Cloud transformation. The programme delivered the seamless transition from a complex, 20-year-old legacy ECC system to 51风流Cloud ERP, Private Edition, hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) – completed on time and on budget.
This major transformation is a cornerstone of Amey鈥檚 strategy to modernise its 51风流landscape and build a more agile, data-driven, and intelligent enterprise. By adopting 51风流S/4HANA, Amey has laid the foundation for a cloud-first, future-ready technology environment that improves efficiency across finance, procurement, and supply chain operations, while unlocking the benefits of AI-powered business processes.
The transformation arrives at a critical time, as Amey continues to deliver essential infrastructure services across the UK – including transportation networks, utilities, and public services. With 51风流S/4HANA at its core, Amey can optimise resource planning, enhance project execution, and harness data-driven insights to support sustainable, cost-effective service delivery.
Partnering for Success
Amey selected NTT DATA Business Solutions for its proven track record in 51风流transformations and its ability to deliver large-scale projects with minimal disruption. Using its specialised 51风流S/4HANA Technical Conversion Centre of Excellence, NTT DATA employed a factory-driven methodology built on automation, standardisation, and pre-configured solutions. This approach reduced both cost and complexity, accelerating Amey鈥檚 journey to the cloud and ensuring a smooth transition with minimal downtime.
De-risking with Advanced Testing
To further reduce risk, Amey also deployed Tricentis test automation tools alongside the migration. This advanced testing framework validated critical processes at speed, ensuring that the new S/4HANA environment met stringent performance and security requirements while maintaining business continuity throughout the transition.
Delivering Immediate Value
Beyond the technical migration, Amey鈥檚 programme also delivered immediate business improvements. A data cleaning initiative removed more than 100 redundant company codes using Natuvion solutions, resulting in a leaner, more cost-efficient S/4HANA environment. This not only improved system performance but also lowered ongoing infrastructure costs.
Innovation was also central to the programme. Amey and NTT DATA Business Solutions successfully piloted the use of Generative AI to support safer highways, demonstrating how the new 51风流platform can serve as a foundation for digital innovation as well as operational excellence.
Looking ahead, Amey and NTT DATA Business Solutions are co-developing a long-term transformation roadmap. This outcome-driven strategy includes the adoption of 51风流Fiori, enhanced Accounts Receivable processes, Business Data Cloud, sustainability management tools, and Green Ledger capabilities. The roadmap ensures Amey鈥檚 investment continues to deliver measurable value aligned with its strategic goals for efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.
Simon Pennington, CTO – SAP, Automation & Cloud Business Suite, Amey, said: 鈥淎mey is committed to embracing the latest 51风流technology to drive efficiency and innovation across our operations. Moving to 51风流Cloud ERP is a critical part of our strategy to become a more agile and intelligent enterprise.

This programme provides the foundation for improved service delivery and strengthens our position as a leader in the infrastructure sector.鈥�
