Zijin Zhixin Zhikong: Delivering
zero-disruption migration at the
pace of global expansion
Zijin Zhixin Zhikong (Xiamen) Technology Co. Ltd. powers the digital backbone of Zijin
Mining Group’s rapid global expansion. It supports operations across China and more
than a dozen countries, keeping systems aligned and processes running as the business
scales through frequent, high-stakes acquisitions.
As the mining group’s expansion accelerates, Zijin Zhixin Zhikong (Xiamen) Technology is
tasked with integrating newly acquired mines within transition timelines of just a few
months. Massive data volumes, dozens of legacy systems, and hundreds of users collide
under intense pressure. In view of this, the technology organization sought expert help in
uncovering and preserving critical dependencies, undocumented interfaces, and local
work-arounds to avoid operational misalignment, delays, and disruption.

Before: Challenges and opportunities
• Pressure from a compressed four-month window to complete a full system transition
• Continuity risk of keeping active mines running during migration amid peak gold prices
• Complexity in managing 59 systems, massive data volumes, and global stakeholders
Why SAP
• Agent-led toolchain providing outside-in discovery of the current state and identifying gaps,
inefficiencies, and integration across processes, architecture, data, and enablement
• SAP LeanIX solutions to map applications and dependencies for shared visibility and faster planning
• SAP Signavio solutions analyzing processes to identify inefficiencies and enable optimization at scale
• SAP Cloud ALM solution to manage tasks, testing, deployment, and monitoring with traceability
• SAP Services and Support helping orchestrate delivery across teams, systems, and global stakeholders
• Data Management and Landscape Transformation group to help migrate large-scale data with greater
accuracy and integrity
After: Value-driven results
• Zero-disruption business continuity across operations during full system migration
• Scalable foundation for global expansion to enable rapid onboarding and integration of new assets
• Repeatable integration model delivering consistent, high-speed rollouts across mining operations
• Stronger ROI and returns driven by faster time to value and reduced operating and maintenance costs

“We hope to extract advanced international experience
from this cross-border collaboration to inform our
domestic ERP solution upgrades. In partnering with
SAP Services and Support, we value their technical
expertise, program orchestration capabilities, and
deep understanding of global best practices.”

Amid tight timelines and system complexity, Zijin Zhixin Zhikong must bring embedded
operational logic from acquired mines into one global framework without losing the
business rules that keep each site running. Critical dependencies, undocumented
interfaces, and local work-arounds have to be uncovered and preserved. Otherwise,
the risk of businesswide misalignment and disruption increases as teams work across
different tools and assumptions.
Zijin Zhixin Zhikong deployed the agent-led toolchain, including SAP LeanIX, SAP Cloud
ALM, and SAP Signavio solutions, with guidance from SAP Services and Support. Systems,
processes, and execution now come together in a shared environment. Teams can see
dependencies more clearly, align more quickly, and move more confidently and in
sync across workstreams.
With this foundation in place, the company now has a repeatable model for future
acquisitions that reduces risk and rework during transitions. Systems are migrated and
validated under live conditions, while financial, supply chain, and production processes
run smoothly from day one.
