Global Energy Market Leader – Global SAP Business Objects Planning & Consolidation (BPC) Implementation, Finance Organisation

June 19, 2012 by  

Snell Consultancy is pleased to announce the live implementation of a business transformation programme for one of its global clients. The programme, delivers the next generation planning and forecasting solution for a global energy market leader. The solution took twelve months in total to design, build and deploy and is enabled by SAP® BPC™ 7.5 for NetWeaver, (a part of SAP’s Enterprise Performance Management, EPM, portfolio). BPC™ is now in live use by the global energy market leader’s community of finance planning and cost centre managers across five continents in over 25 countries. BPC will enable the organisation to accurately and effectively aggregate bottom up financial planning and forecasting data into a single version of the truth to inform corporate strategy and investor communications.

Snell Consultancy Director Ivan Snell managed the programme delivery involving a team of over fifty SAP specialist consultants responsible for the BPC™ solution build and integration, client and contract staff. He said: “this has been a remarkable achievement for everyone including our Blue Chip British client, a world leader in natural gas, SAP (UK) and the Snell Consultancy. At this time it is the largest SAP® BPC™ deployment in the world delivered with SAP as the integration partner. BPC replaces our client’s legacy solution with improved reporting capabilities and the benefits of a unified, predictive performance platform that delivers core business forecasting and planning process functionality and features from a single enterprise-scale application and database.”

Such large scale global programmes are highly complex and carry substantial levels of risk to the businesses that undertake them. Snell Consultancy’s provision of interim capability addressed the complexity and mitigated the risks through effective engagement with all impacted stakeholders, forming a strong integrated winning team, setting up an effective programme organisation governance structure and tightly managing the integration partner’s delivery against its’ contractual obligations.
