How P&G adopted advanced automation to move its supply chain operations to S/4HANA

Overview

Embracing change with confidence

One of the world’s largest consumer goods manufacturers, P&G, owns dozens of leading brands and has created many of the innovations used by people across the world on a daily basis. It employs a staff of over 100,000 to make and sell products in 180 countries, generating annual revenues in excess of 80 billion USD.

Challenges

P&G needed to move to S/4HANA as quickly as possible

A large, complex SAP landscape made S/4HANA migration more challenging than usual

Needed to ensure ECC and S/4HANA systems remained aligned

Solution

A smooth and safe move to S/4HANA

The ability to automatically manage multiple SAP development landscapes

A starting point for modernization of SAP development and delivery processes

Results

Automation enabled P&G to facilitate the transition while continuing business operations – keeping multiple SAP systems in sync

Advance automation technology provided speed, efficiency and lower costs

Avoided business disruption during a multi-year project

Customer testimonial

“Simply put, we would not be able to achieve this upgrade without automation. Either we would have had to do a pure greenfield implementation, which was going to be too long and unaffordable, or we would have taken a major operation risk by just trying to do it ‘manually’. Most likely, we would just not have upgraded.”

Adopting advanced automation to overcome the challenges of moving supply chain operations to S/4HANA with Basis Technologies

P&G used ActiveControl to support a multi-year SAP S/4HANA migration

Executive Summary

When Procter & Gamble planned its conversion to SAP S/4HANA, harmonization and consolidation of 10 regional supply chain processes became instrumental to its business case.

An integrated approach from Basis Technologies, leaders in DevOps and test automation, and smartShift — with its revolutionary smartShift Intelligent Automation® for SAP transformations — accelerated and de-risked Procter & Gamble’s multi-year transformation program.

The Challenge

P&G was looking to move to S/4HANA as quickly as possible but a large, complex SAP landscape made the project even more challenging than usual. One of the key problems to solve was how to ensure that ECC and S/4HANA systems remained aligned during the period when both were supporting the business.

The Solution

P&G chose ActiveControl to support a massive company-wide project to migrate their supply chain operations from ECC to S/4HANA. ActiveControl’s automated dual maintenance capabilities allowed the company to facilitate the transition while continuing business operations – keeping changes between multiple SAP systems in sync simultaneously across the landscape.

The Result

The advanced automation technology has provided the speed, efficiency and lower costs the company needed, as well as the ability to avoid business disruption during the multi-year project.

  • Embracing automation helped to consolidate SAP systems and supply chain business processes
  • Transforming to SAP S/4HANA was possible thanks to advanced automation
  • It was possible to transform SAP customizations and ensure dual maintenance through automation
