“Know your processes — and be able to explain them well to the implementation team. The more detailed your description, the better. It’s important to trust the team implementing your SAP solution.”
"We were all set – back on track – with a roadmap, bright eyes and bushy tailed to deliver the dream to the business. We had delivered Employee Central, PMGM and Recruitment to the business – set up workflows, ability to manage aspects of personal data, performance and replaced our ATS to support the recruitment activity. We were integrated with payroll and had started the change journey. In reality it was an HRIS with functionality to deliver one source of the truth about our employee base, enable managers to manage team activities online, employees to take ownership of their own personal details."
"Using iPE will help us to drive efficiency and continuous learning while enabling bestpractices, improving collaboration and confidence within our teams and reduce the effort per proposal."
"Thanks to the synchronization of the mobile app with SAP’s materials management, for example, we now have everything in place to restock the vans when field workers return…we can handle more work orders than before and make sure that all planned maintenance is finished on time."
"With some of the environmental concerns that we have around coal, we'll be quickly reskilling and retooling employees into our renewable suite. And that's a key differentiator for us as well in the marketplace because consumers feel more comfortable with renewable energy."
"One of our largest goals was to give time back to the business to get their work done. We have been thrilled with our results that employees have learned the system quickly with little to not training tools – they were there, but they didn’t have to use them because the system was so intuitive."
"SuccessFactors put the best data on talent we’ve ever had right at our fingertips. It streamlined succession planning and recruiting processes to help us attract and retain talent and compete much more effectively."
"When a retail customer calls to find out where an order is, we used to have to put the customer on hold while we called the warehouse. Our customers expect more than that… Now with SAP CRM, we can provide better service to those consumers. If they sent a bag in for repair, we can tell them exactly where it is, no matter who picked up the phone. It’s all in the same system now."
"Using SAP Multiresource Scheduling helps us deploy the right resources faster, which boosts customer satisfaction."
"We can now make faster business adjustments, better decisions, and manage our large inventories with greater effeciency."
"The key challenge – and I do not think this is specific to Unilever – is to change the mindset and to integrate the required new activities into the standard processes and ways of working, as well as to build the skills across the organization."
"SAP has helped ULA increase our probability of mission success while lowering our cost to the customer."
“The big benefit for us is the ability provide learning analytics across the faculties. SAP BW is providing us that functionality. We were hampered by the old system. We couldn’t load any big reports. We couldn’t load any more data. And now with SAP HANA we are able to go one step further. For us the next phase is learning analytics.”
"It became clear to me right then that in-memory computing was groundbreaking.It would provide the technology we needed to address our most complex analytical problems."
"Ultimately, we recognized that SAP HANA could deliver the high performance analytics we were looking for."
