Challenge
The courage to simplify
Dunelm’s SAP environment had many challenges slowing growth. Excessive customization, over-dependence on external developers and teams working disparately on concurrent projects in a multi-track environment meant production incidents were major, innovation delivery was delayed and internal perceptions on SAP’s capabilities were not complimentary.
Dunelm worked with Basis Technologies to turn its SAP bottleneck into its engine to deliver on innovation continuously.
Solution
The technology to simplify
ActiveControl helped Dunelm redesign its change and release process with an automation solution to speed up governance, support foundational SAP transformation and accommodate future change management processes.
For example, advanced analyzers run checks to triage approvals and ensure changes can’t move between development environments until truly ready. ActiveControl also managed object dependencies and deployment sequencing to increase quality, speed up changes in ECC and eliminate any risk from the old ways led by manual spreadsheets.
Outcome
The freedom to simplify
Dunelm continues to leverage SAP to innovate, embracing out-of-the-box integrations with tools like Jira, GitLab, and others to better connect to other IT functions, simplify processes and support change at the speed of business.
