EXPERIENCE

 

Employer: INMNC Consultants / Exxon Mobil                                  Houston, TX

SAP HANA Consultant
Period: December 2013 – May 2015

Industry: Oil and Gas

Project Description: For Exxon Mobil, a key challenge presented itself during project development, shortly after implementing the first SAP HANA instance: the company was faced with several version and support pack upgrade challenges for both SAP NetWeaver BW, and SAP HANA. This changing baseline meant that Exxon had to continually revalidate and re-transport its environment with about 1,200 re-transports during development. The project team performed a great number of business warehouse validations. In addition to version upgrades, Exxon also had to incorporate new hardware to support its SAP HANA platform. To mitigate risks associated with leading-edge hardware, Exxon re-evaluated its architectural design for SAP HANA and opted to set up some contingencies, moving from a single node to a four-node with a Scale Out, High Availability node in the production and quality assurance environments. Before it processed a single transaction, the company realized that, just by nature of its new configuration, the new system environment would deliver results. With the in-memory processing power of SAP HANA, Exxon’s financial transactions now take a far more streamlined path than in the previous landscape, where the ETL processes without standard SAP extractors in the relational database created a holding pattern before moving the data into the SAP warehouse. With SAP HANA powering SAP NetWeaver BW, Exxon can now report straight off of the data warehouse with transactions loaded directly from its SAP ERP instance.
