Una Gran Empresa Ferroviaria Acelera la Migración a la Nube con una Estrategia Premiada

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 To evolve their enterprise, the sports giant decided to replace their outdated planning software with SAP Analytics Cloud for planning.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.

Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) es el principal medio de transporte de españoles y turistas. Propiedad de la Generalitat de Catalunya, la empresa explota miles de líneas de ferrocarril, desde estrechas a anchas, por toda la región, además de varias estaciones y funiculares. Desde las montañas hasta las líneas de metro de Barcelona, FGC es una parte vital de la infraestructura española.

El Desafío

FGC pretendía mejorar rápidamente todos los procesos empresariales actualizando su sistema de planificación de recursos empresariales (ERP). El mayor reto de este proyecto era cumplir el ambicioso plazo: seis meses para migrar sin causar trastornos a los usuarios y a la empresa. Junto con Avvale, FGC completó la migración dentro del plazo previsto. La entrega fue tan satisfactoria que ganó el primer premio SAP FAST DELIVERY.

El Enfoque

Finalmente se decidió que FGC actualizaría y convertiría sus cargas de trabajo SAP de ERP Ehp5 a S/4HANA. Durante esta transición, era importante tener en cuenta a los 200 usuarios para reducir al mínimo las interrupciones. Con un plan detallado y una comunicación coherente, esto permitió una migración exitosa. Para impulsar aún más el éxito, Avvale dirigió sesiones de formación desde el principio para garantizar que FGC comprendiera cómo utilizar eficazmente la nueva plataforma. Utilizando la metodología de migración más reciente y una fase de prueba, el equipo cumplió el estricto plazo, al tiempo que mitigaba los riesgos y elaboraba estrategias para una gestión eficaz del cambio. Gracias a la atención prestada a los detalles durante las fases de preparación, la migración se realizó en un solo paso, ahorrando tiempo y recursos..

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

Con la implementación de S/4HANA, FGC transformó sus procesos, logrando un modelo más eficaz de planificación de recursos, a la vez que generó un impacto positivo en la organización y los recursos de la empresa. Gracias a la actualización de su sistema SAP ECC a S/4HANA, FGC está capacitada para impulsar su transformación digital y mejorar el rendimiento de sus servicios. En la actualidad, Avvale continúa trabajando en el proceso de innovación y transformación junto a FGC en otros proyectos.
