Aumento de la Eficiencia: El líder Centroamericano de la Automoción Reduce en un 50% el Almacenamiento de Bases de Datos SAP

While they expertly deliver innovation and quality to their customers, Callaway Golf’s previous planning and reporting tool wasn’t making the cut. To evolve their enterprise, the sports giant decided to replace their outdated planning software with SAP Analytics Cloud for planning.

Together with Avvale, Callaway Golf successfully implemented SAP Analytics Cloud across their global enterprise in just 6 months. Now, Callaway Golf has a single, consolidated planning solution that has enabled streamlined expense and asset plans so they can focus on what they do best– revolutionizing the sporting world with cutting edge equipment.

Nuestro cliente es una fuerza pionera en el sector de la automoción en toda Centroamérica, comprometida con la excelencia y la satisfacción del cliente. Ofreciendo una amplia gama de soluciones que van desde la venta de vehículos hasta el mantenimiento y la financiación, la empresa representa las marcas de vehículos más reconocidas en países como El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras y Costa Rica.

El Desafío

Nuestro cliente, que buscaba aumentar la eficiencia, reducir costos y mejorar el rendimiento del sistema, se enfrentaba a importantes retos debido al elevado volumen de datos que generaba su sistema ERP SAP. La complejidad de la gestión de estos datos suponía un obstáculo para sus operaciones y dificultaba su capacidad de innovación y crecimiento.

El Enfoque

Avvale diseñó una estrategia integral de archivado de datos SAP adaptada para abordar eficazmente los retos específicos del cliente. Mediante la implementación de medidas estratégicas de archivado, Avvale pretendía controlar el crecimiento de los datos, optimizar los recursos y mejorar la capacidad de memoria, mejorar el rendimiento del sistema, reducir los requisitos de almacenamiento y allanar el camino para una transición fluida a SAP S/4HANA en el futuro.

Avvale ayudó al cliente a reducir los costos asociados a los recursos tecnológicos, mejoró los tiempos de respuesta del sistema y agilizó los procesos de gestión de copias de seguridad, la eficiencia y la productividad.

The Challenge

Before integrating SAP Analytics Cloud, Callaway Golf's planning landscape centered around SAP's legacy planning solution, Business Planning and Simulation (BPS). While BPS met Callaway Golf's planning needs for many years, the enterprise began to experience limitations with their old solution:

  • Disconnected plans across the board: As Callaway Golf expanded and acquired new brands, planning processes greatly differed across the enterprise with some business units using Excel spreadsheets and others using legacy solutions for planning.
  • Outdated planning functionalities: The existing legacy planning solution lacked many modern functionalities. Among them, salary calculations and asset depreciation automation needed improvement. As a result, it became difficult to create detailed and accurate forecasts across the globe.
  • Significant IT support: The legacy solution required continuous management from IT to maintain runtime. IT had to carve out a full day every week to manually maintain the solution.
  • No single source of truth: Various departments and brands used different data sources, which led to data silos across the organization, making it difficult to gain a clear picture of the enterprise's planned expenses.
  • Rigid user interface: Legacy forecasting system was difficult to navigate and lacked working functions and calculations across the board, such as planning on depreciation and existing assets, adding vendors or members on the fly, and breaking down their cost center expense planning forecasts.

The Approach

With Avvale experts on their side, Callaway Golf laid out the following goals for their new planning landscape with SAP Analytics Cloud:

  • Crowdsource and consolidate plans across the enterprise to gain a global overview of their planned expenses and expand the input capabilities to each responsible owner.
  • Leverage elevated planning functionalities to create faster and more accurate forecast cost center expense and asset reports. The ability to customize calculations enhances and automates the reporting metrics.
  • Harness the power of self-service analytics to alleviate IT from the burden of simple maintenance and data entry requests, so they can focus on high-ROI tasks.
  • Maximize user-driven admin capabilities to control the management of calculations and forms.
  • Create new KPls driven by the business needs.

When SEM-BPS was the center of Callaway Golf's planning landscape, flexibility was a huge factor that was missing. SAP Analytics Cloud contains powerful scenario planning capabilities that help organizations quickly uncover actionable insights to make data-driven decisions. For Callaway Golf, SAP Analytics Cloud's modern planning functionalities provided users with the ability to:

  • Add members on the fly
  • Plan on existing as well as planned assets and automatically calculate the depreciation of values
  • Test "what-if" scenarios for deeper analysis by creating private versions of plans
  • Customize the solution based on their current business process
  • Perform driver-based calculations
  • Empower users to execute end-to-end planning scenarios, without the help of IT

El Impacto

Nuestro cliente obtuvo un control total sobre el crecimiento de la base de datos, recuperando casi 1 TB de almacenamiento y 600 GB de memoria. La implementación del archivado de datos SAP permitió reducir en un 50% las necesidades de almacenamiento de la base de datos del cliente, lo que se tradujo en un importante ahorro de costes y una mejora de la capacidad de respuesta del sistema. Con el apoyo de Avvale, el cliente no solo abordó los retos inmediatos, sino que también estableció una base para el crecimiento sostenible y la innovación en sus operaciones.
