How did Consultic support an international automotive company in achieving their business goals and transforming their technology infrastructure?

An international automotive company faced the challenge of aligning their business intelligence and analytics capabilities with their organizational goals while reducing their application and infrastructure footprint. They sought a trusted partner to guide them through this complex transformation.

We devised a comprehensive strategy to assess the company’s technology landscape, identify gaps, and propose a roadmap for technology transformation. By leveraging S4 HANA and SAP Business Objects, We helped the company mature their SAP footprint and establish a long-term vision for their Finance and Purchasing platforms.

The results were impressive. We successfully retired outdated platforms, replacing them with a streamlined SAP model. They also established a multi-regional delivery center to support the company across different time zones and created a SAP Center of Excellence (COE) to provide strategic guidance.
