Aumentando a eficiência: Líder automotivo na América Central reduz o armazenamento de banco de dados SAP em 50%
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 To evolve their enterprise, the sports giant decided to replace their outdated planning software with SAP Analytics Cloud for planning.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.
Nosso cliente é uma força pioneira no setor automotivo da América Central, comprometida com a excelência e a satisfação do cliente. Oferecendo uma ampla gama de soluções, desde a venda de veículos até a manutenção e o financiamento, a empresa representa as mais renomadas marcas de veículos em países como El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicarágua, Honduras e Costa Rica.
O Desafio
Buscando aumentar a eficiência, reduzir custos e melhorar o desempenho do sistema, nosso cliente enfrentou desafios significativos devido ao alto volume de dados gerados pelo seu sistema SAP ERP. As complexidades do gerenciamento desses dados impunham obstáculos às suas operações e prejudicavam sua capacidade de inovar e crescer.
A Abordagem
A Avvale elaborou uma estratégia abrangente de arquivamento de dados do SAP, adaptada para abordar os desafios específicos do cliente de forma eficaz. Ao implementar medidas estratégicas de arquivamento, a Avvale teve como objetivo controlar o crescimento dos dados, otimizar recursos, melhorar a capacidade de memória, aprimorar o desempenho do sistema, reduzir os requisitos de armazenamento e preparar o caminho para uma transição perfeita para o SAP S/4HANA no futuro.
A Avvale ajudou o cliente a reduzir os custos associados aos recursos tecnológicos, melhorar os tempos de resposta do sistema e simplificar os processos de gerenciamento de backup.
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
O Impacto
Nosso cliente obteve controle total sobre o crescimento do banco de dados, recuperando quase 1 TB de armazenamento e 600 GB de memória. A implementação do arquivamento de dados SAP levou a uma redução de 50% nos requisitos de armazenamento do banco de dados do cliente, resultando em economias substanciais de custo e melhor capacidade de resposta do sistema. Com o apoio da Avvale, o cliente não apenas enfrentou desafios imediatos, mas também estabeleceu uma base para o crescimento sustentável e a inovação em suas operações.
