The Challenge
EDF was struggling with time-consuming and complex audit reporting processes due to heavy reliance on spreadsheets and manual effort for tracking SAP change. These outdated and inefficient workflows also hindered the company from being able to adapt as quickly as needed to the rapid changes taking place across the industry.
The Goal
The company was seeking a way to streamline their SAP change management processes while ensuring code quality to avoid unacceptable and costly production downtime. As part of a highly-regulated industry, they were also seeking a way to improve visibility and documentation of changes.

EDF Energy chose ActiveControl as their SAP change automation solution. This enabled them to build a fully automated end-to-end change management process in SAP and gain a ‘single source of truth’ for all changes.
