Modernisation &
Consolidation
The organisation needed to digitally de-commission 70 legacy business applications and deploy an enterprise solution that is accessible for various teams, all from one platform. They also want to have the flexibility to work from anywhere and at any time. The system is expected to improve efficiency, reduce time in processing procurement and minimise operational risk.
Cloud-Based SAP Ariba & S/4HANA
After going through a few demonstrations of various vendor products, our technical consultants decided to implement a cloud-based SAP Ariba and S/4 Hana business system. SAP Ariba will be the most suitable system for meeting their strategic vision, but also providing the flexibility to add new business process modules in the future.
Our team conducted a comprehensive scoping exercise with various internal teams and the in-house IT department.
During the exercise, it was identified and agreed with the stakeholders that their legacy systems, modules, and design will not be compatible with SAP Ariba. As a result, we proposed a re-designed business process with minimal changes, removing any redundant or outdated processes.
"SAP Ariba met their strategic vision and provided the flexibility to decommission 70 legacy systems."
