By late 2006, THUS Group’s business system, based on SAP R/3, version 4.6b, had for a number of years seen little maintenance and no development and the businesses acquired by the Group had all come to the fold with their own computer systems - none based on SAP. The database and hardware infrastructure underlying the SAP system had all reached end-of-life, so after a period of consultation THUS decided to undertake a technical upgrade to the latest version of SAP.

Absoft helped THUS negotiate a commercial deal with SAP and carried out the upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0 on time and under budget. THUS now benefits from a long-term, supportable platform and reduced operational costs.
