Challenge
Overcoming insulated processes
Kingspan chose to upgrade to SAP S/4HANA to advance its IT to keep up with the demands of its manufacturing technology business.
However, the rollout of regular upgrades proved challenging due to legacy thinking holding Kingspan back. Manual change processes and approvals hidden in disconnected email chains, tickets and spreadsheets slowed progress and distracted from more valuable work. Time and effort on delivering transport management crept beyond working hours.
Solution
Automating for future foundations
With ActiveControl, Kingspan implemented automated transport deployment, flexible approval workflows and automatic notifications to reduce manual effort by 50%.
ActiveControl’s automation also enabled Kingspan to take a multi-track approach to its S/4HANA landscape, creating a platform to accelerate future upgrades so business users could access the latest functionality faster.
Outcome
More deployment, less human involvement
While Kingspan had been running bi-weekly deployments, the time and effort savings from ActiveControl allowed them to deploy four times a week with less manual work.
One of the biggest benefits of saving time and resources while keeping the business focused on growth was eliminating production incidents that disrupted operations. This meant Kingspan could truly focus on the growth and innovation the company needed.
