Power the hybrid work

European energy company innogy, part of MVM Group, provides natural gas, electricity and heat. It also generates heat and power in district heating plants and develops clean mobility solutions.

innogy was managing its core HR agenda and processes using on-premises SAP ERP 6.0. With the advent of hybrid work models and evolving talent management challenges, an agile and scalable SAP solution was necessary.

To create a reliable, flexible and user-friendly HR management environment for innogy, Eviden proposed upgrading to next-generation, cloud-based SAP S/4HANA through RISE with SAP.

RISE is SAP’s as-a-service solution for accelerating cloud-enabled business transformation.

Identifying parts unused

Although it was challenging to migrate twenty-year-old data without disrupting existing business processes, Eviden came up with a tailored-made solution. Its experts created a unique roadmap and leveraged a sandbox to successfully migrate relevant assets by identifying unused parts of the system. Eviden teams built the production environments and conducted user acceptance testing (UAT).

Minimal impact on go-live was ensured by limiting the required downtime to a single weekend. In addition, Eviden change management specialists developed training modules for innogy employees to help them understand the capabilities of the new technology.

The project was completed more than two months ahead of schedule with no impact on the existing business processes.
