Client Challenge
Power the hybrid work
innogy was managing its core HR agenda and processes using on-premises SAP ERP 6.0. With the advent of hybrid work models and evolving talent management challenges, an agile and scalable SAP solution was necessary.
To create a reliable, flexible and user-friendly HR management environment for innogy, Atos proposed upgrading to next-generation, cloud-based SAP S/4HANA through RISE with SAP.
RISE is SAP’s as-a-service solution for accelerating cloud-enabled business transformation.
Solution
Identifying parts unused
Although it was challenging to migrate twenty-year-old data without disrupting existing business processes, Atos came up with a tailor-made solution. Its experts created a unique roadmap and leveraged a sandbox to successfully migrate relevant assets by identifying unused parts of the system. Atos teams built the production environments and conducted user acceptance testing (UAT).
Minimal impact on go-live was ensured by limiting the required downtime to a single weekend. In addition, Atos change management specialists developed training modules for innogy employees to help them understand the capabilities of the new technology.
The project was completed more than two months ahead of schedule with no impact on the existing business processes.
Business Benefits
Innovate to save
The innovative way Atos implemented the upgraded SAP solution resulted in a lower implementation cost than traditional methods.
Now, innogy has a modern, cloud-based SAP S/4HANA platform that is more likely to meet both current and future business needs. The state-of-the-art solution aligns with innogy’s SAP strategy, reducing infrastructure costs, increasing performance and ensuring security.
