Fabricante de produtos farmacêuticos cria valor mais rapidamente ao fazer a atualização para a nuvem

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 To evolve their enterprise, the sports giant decided to replace their outdated planning software with SAP Analytics Cloud for planning.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 empresa farmacêutica global com operações na Europa, América do Sul e Ásia. Eles escolheram trabalhar com a Avvale para migrar seus sistemas do local para a nuvem.

O Desafio

Com o suporte anterior previsto para expirar em 2027 e as grandes inovações já ocorrendo no cenário de negócios, nosso cliente começou a procurar uma solução que integrasse a estratégia de transformação digital em seus negócios principais, minimizando o impacto nas operações diárias. Ao mesmo tempo, a empresa queria preparar seus principais processos de negócios para o futuro, a fim de evitar qualquer risco potencial em 2027.

A Abordagem

A migração do sistema levou oito meses e forneceu uma solução para 1.000 usuários de negócios em 13 subsidiárias na Europa e no Brasil, representando quase metade da força de trabalho da empresa. A metodologia do projeto foi baseada na abordagem industrializada da Avvale para a conversão do SAP S/4HANA, que consiste em três etapas: Descoberta, Requisitos e Migração. As melhorias funcionais incluíram o aprimoramento dos processos financeiros e de controle, a implementação do gerenciamento do ciclo de vida do produto (PLM) e a incorporação de 15 aplicativos SAP Fiori com pesquisa e análise incorporada. O projeto também implementou o SAP Solution Manager Test Management, ITSM e ChaRM para garantir a governança completa de TI e o controle operacional para aumentar a visibilidade e o controle do sistema.

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

O cliente viu os benefícios imediatamente, incluindo processos de aquisição otimizados facilitados por aplicativos móveis SAP Fiori, um fechamento mais rápido no final do mês com base em uma única plataforma financeira e melhorias significativas nos tempos de execução do sistema. Além disso, as tarefas e horas administrativas foram reduzidas, permitindo que a empresa redirecionasse os recursos da equipe para atividades mais estratégicas.
