The SAP Quality Awards are a prestigious recognition of excellence in the implementation of SAP solutions. Recently, the company announced the winners of the 2024 awards, and we will focus on the Functional Transformation Award, which highlights projects that successfully rationalize a key business process.
What is Business Transformation?
Business transformation refers to the process of changing and improving existing business processes and operations to increase efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness. It involves implementing new technologies, systems, and processes to streamline and optimize business functions.
- Comprehensive changes in areas like marketing, HR, purchasing, or finance using the latest innovations from SAP
- Implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system with the introduction of the new generation SAP S/4HANA
Case Study: B+N Referencia Zrt. and SAP S/4HANA
B+N Referencia Zrt., a Hungarian company, won the Functional Transformation Award in 2024. The company implemented a comprehensive transformation of its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system with the introduction of the new generation SAP S/4HANA.
“It is always a great pleasure when a Hungarian project wins the award for the best, congratulations! In addition, this award is also excellent feedback for us, as the SAP Hungary consulting team implemented the system, and we accompanied the process all the way to the go-live. This project implemented exactly what we recommend to other clients in the case of SAP S/4HANA transitions: it was not just an ERP system replacement, but a complex BPR project, where we also rethought the company’s business and operational processes together with the client, adapting them to SAP best practice solutions,” emphasized Szabolcs Pintér, Managing Director of SAP Hungary.
