Pastas Gallo elabora la ricetta per la scalabilità dopo 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 To evolve their enterprise, the sports giant decided to replace their outdated planning software with SAP Analytics Cloud for planning.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.
Fin dall'inizio, Pastas Gallo ha operato con lungimiranza e innovazione. Il suo fondatore, Jose Espona, ha rivoluzionato la coltivazione del grano in Spagna e ha inventato un nuovo modo di produrre la pasta, deliziando i suoi connazionali e, poco dopo, il mondo intero. Più di 75 anni dopo, Pastas Gallo è cresciuta fino a servire più di 40 paesi, guidata dalla passione e dalla qualità.
La sfidae
In precedenza, Pastas Gallo disponeva di un sistema on-premise e ha intravisto l'opportunità di aumentare la propria agilità passando al Cloud. Per farlo, avevano bisogno di una soluzione innovativa che avesse un'infrastruttura flessibile e che modernizzasse i processi aziendali. Per questo motivo ha scelto Avvale come partner per questa migrazione.
L'approccio
Avvale ha elaborato un piano strategico per Pastas Gallo per migrare i carichi di lavoro SAP su Google Cloud da un'infrastruttura on-premise. Con i carichi di lavoro ospitati sul Cloud, è stato possibile scalare le esigenze in base alle necessità e garantire l'agilità in qualsiasi situazione.
Inoltre, grazie alla migrazione al Cloud, Pastas Gallo ha ridotto notevolmente l'impronta di carbonio, poiché l'infrastruttura è ospitata su una piattaforma digitale. Inoltre, questa implementazione ha incluso anche l'aggiornamento dell'hardware, della piattaforma, del database, del kernel SAP e le modifiche al codice personalizzato in un unico passaggio.
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
La migrazione a Google Cloud ha richiesto meno di tre mesi e Pastas Gallo ha visto i benefici di questo passaggio in tempi più brevi. Ha rapidamente sperimentato l'ottimizzazione dei processi che ha portato a un miglioramento della produttività e a una riduzione del tempo dedicato alle attività. La loro infrastruttura è ora in grado di scalare in base alle esigenze attuali e di adattarsi a qualsiasi cambiamento. Questa soluzione offre agilità per le innovazioni future.
