Global enterprise operations GDPR compliant, one SAP system
“Stop building separate SAP systems for every country. There is a better way.”
GDPR
RISE & GROW compatible
Scales to any jurisdiction
40–60% TCO reduction
100% GDPR compliant
1 SAP system, global operations
The challenge
- GDPR requires citizen data to remain within national borders — Germany, UK, France, and beyond.
- The traditional answer, a separate SAP system per country, costs 3–5x more and fragments data and reporting.
- GDPR violations can reach 4% of global revenue — up to $40M for a $1B enterprise.
- IT is stretched across multiple SAP instances with inconsistent processes and no unified analytics.
- Every new country expansion means another multi-million-dollar system deployment.
How TERRA solves it
- One central SAP S/4HANA for all global operations — a single system to manage.
- Lightweight regional data stores only where required, only for sensitive data.
- Sensitive data is routed automatically at the point of entry — no manual steps.
- A single interface for all employees; compliance complexity stays invisible to end users.
- Real-time global analytics and financial consolidation with compliant data masking.
- New countries are added as a configuration change, not a re-implementation.
