Lavazza raggiunge l’efficienza operativa e riduce il Carbon Footprint con la migrazione al Cloud
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 To evolve their enterprise, the sports giant decided to replace their outdated planning software with SAP Analytics Cloud for planning.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.
Dal 1895, il Gruppo Lavazza ha deliziato gli amanti del caffè in tutto il mondo con le sue miscele caratteristiche. Operando in più di 140 paesi, la sua missione è "Risvegliarsi ogni mattina in un mondo migliore", e garantire rispetto per le persone e per l'ambiente in ogni fase del processo.
La sfida
Il Gruppo Lavazza ha intrapreso il percorso verso il cloud come parte del suo programma di trasformazione tecnologica. L’obiettivo principale era migrare tutti i suoi data center e i carichi di lavoro aziendali in un unico ambiente cloud.
La migrazione presentava un alto grado di complessità a causa della composizione mista dell'infrastruttura on-premise. Infatti, l'azienda aveva diverse soluzioni implementate in varie sedi, che andavano dai data center esterni completamente gestiti, alle fabbriche di produzione e ai server farm gestiti internamente.
L'approccio
Grazie alla sua metodologia e alle best practices, Avvale ha impiegato tre mesi nella fase di valutazione e pianificazione, preparando l'infrastruttura cloud su Azure per ospitare i carichi di lavoro. Il processo è stato suddiviso in cinque fasi diverse, distribuite su un periodo di sette mesi e la migrazione ha principalmente usufruito di tecnologie come IAAS, Azure Migrate e Data Migration Assistant per soddisfare le esigenze dei modelli Lift and Shift e Replatform, i due principali modelli adottati.
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
L'impatto
Con il pieno supporto di Avvale, Lavazza ha adottato Microsoft Azure per sfruttare i vantaggi del public cloud. Questa scelta ha permesso a Lavazza di consolidare la propria infrastruttura in una piattaforma unica, offrendo scalabilità e facilità di gestione. Inoltre, Lavazza ha potuto migliorare la propria affidabilità e sicurezza grazie al disaster recovery geografico e l'adozione dell'automazione di Infrastructure-as-Code ha aumentato l'agilità e la velocità di Lavazza, determinando anche una significativa riduzione del consumo energetico e dell'impronta di carbonio.
