• The goal is clear for Royal Greenland and its more than 40 plants and factories along the coast of Greenland and Atlantic Canada: a more standardized, cloud‑based landscape with significantly lower complexity, and a technological foundation that can support future AI initiatives. • Headquartered in Nuuk and 100% owned by the Government of Greenland, Royal Greenland is modernizing its SAP platform and moving from on premise to cloud ERP in order to future‑proof core processes and unlock embedded AI across its SAP business applications. • “We are moving from our existing setup to SAP Cloud ERP and SAP Business Data Cloud because we want access to the capabilities you can consume on a cloud platform,” said Lars Bo Hassinggaard, CIO at Royal Greenland for more than 25 years. • The company brings high‑quality wild‑caught fish and shellfish from the North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean to consumers worldwide. • It has been running SAP since 1998 but is now embarking on its most significant transition to date: migrating SAP ERP Central Component to SAP Cloud ERP while simultaneously elevating its business intelligence (BI) landscape into SAP Business Data Cloud and later transforming BI into SAP Datasphere. • The project follows the structured RISE with SAP framework, which consolidates platform transformation, operations, and the innovation cycle into one contract.

Article Summaries:

  • Royal Greenland, the 100 % government‑owned seafood producer, is migrating its SAP ERP Central Component to SAP Cloud ERP and upgrading its business‑intelligence stack to SAP Business Data Cloud, with a planned go‑live on March 1 2027. The move, executed under SAP’s RISE framework, includes a “Lean Selective Data Transition” that cuts the data volume to be migrated by 90 %, retaining only ten years of essential records. The cloud solution will run on Microsoft Azure, initially in Sweden, with a future option to shift to a Danish data centre. After the platform lift in 2026, the company will deploy standardized AI tools from SAP to improve finance, administration and user experience.
