Challenge
When it acquired a new company in 2014, a leading company in the home appliance market (with approximately $21 billion in annual turnover, 92,000 employees and 65 research centers) immediately felt the need to start a Digital Transformation process to create a new corporate Business Intelligence platform.
Approach
The transformation meant to migrate all SAP systems on the new SAP on HANA (ECC, EWM, CRM, APO, BW) with the related release of new functionalities to guarantee a new unified business vision and facilitate the adoption of analytical capabilities at institutional and Top Management level, releasing increasingly captivating reports and dashboards. Engineering responded to the challenge by creating a new Corporate BI platform that harmonized and integrated the Business Intelligence frameworks of both companies.
Solution
In this way, we unified all processes by creating a new Business Intelligence system to serve over 2,000 users distributed in the main business areas in the EMEA market: sales and distribution, warehouse, purchasing, customer service, finance and control. The new platform took the best of the two companies' BI systems, to offer a new unified vision of the two realities and facilitate the adoption of renewed analytical capabilities. The customer was thus able to migrate all its SAP systems (ECC, APO, CRM, BW) to SAP on HANA systems in the EMEA area. The new Business Intelligence is now based on SAP BW on HANA as Data Warehouse, SAP Business Objects for institutional reports, QLIK to promote new analytical approaches and provide new dashboards, Tableau for the adoption of Self-Service BI and for dashboards for Top Management.
