6-month migration from ECC to SAP Cloud ERP Private with SEIDOR

Amyris isn't a typical manufacturer. Using synthetic biology and fermentation, they use microorganisms to turn sugar into specialty molecules that power products across beauty, food, health, and materials, with customers spanning the US, Europe, and Asia.

But their story didn't start serving leading global specialty ingredient providers. It started with a mission: back in 2003, Amyris set out to build an entirely new kind of biomanufacturing technology, one that could stabilize the price and availability of Artemisinin, a life-saving anti-malarial drug.

Over the next two decades, that ambition evolved into a full biomanufacturing platform that rewrote the rules of sustainable sourcing.

The challenge: complexity outgrowing the system

Unlike traditional manufacturing, Amyris's production runs on a continuous, complex biological process, one that demands precision and strict control at every step. For 15+ years, SAP ECC had been the backbone supporting that process. But as Amyris scaled, the system that once supported their agility started to hold it back:

• ECC meant complex processes were still being patched together with manual workflows.
• New projects couldn't onboard at the speed the business needed—an agility gap between what the ERP could do and what the business demanded.
• Teams and partners were working without a single source of truth.
• Operationally, Amyris was struggling to keep pace with new demand and customer needs.

The turning point: time to move from legacy ECC to SAP Cloud ERP Private

Amyris needed more than an upgrade. They needed a platform that matched their organization's agility, modern technology, a simplified platform, and control handed back to the people actually running the process.

What happened next changed how Amyris runs its business, in just six months.
