Held on Wednesday 17th November at Searcys, The Gherkin, London, the awards acknowledged the following organisations for formidable achievements driven via leveraging SAP technology and its partner ecosystem alike:
Best Innovative use of SAP Technology – Mercedes-EQ
Mercedes-EQ realised its business outcomes and achieved the agility and mobile capabilities required to keep its crews and back office connected across multiple global locations, while accelerating the speed it needed to get operations off the ground through the power of SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
Delivered in just three months, Mercedes-EQ had the finance and accounting tools required to manage costs, track profitability, predict cash flow and run forecasts, with the fit-to-standard approach allowing the organisation to define its processes in line with corporate requirements without inhibiting performance. This culminated with driver Nyck de Vries and Mercedes-EQ winning the ABB Formula E World Championships in the 2020/2021 season.
Best Transformational Change – Vodafone
Through the use of SAP S/4HANA, Vodafone has been able to set new benchmarks and achieve significant cost efficiencies on its Intelligent Enterprise journey. The business now has seamless automation, process standardisation, operational efficiency and access to real-time insight in business functions. The modernisation led to increased automation leading to lower error rates and higher efficiency, improved standardisation for better maintenance and system performance, better user experience, leading to increased focus on Net Promoter Score, and faster month end close cycles leading to better financial insights sooner at a lower cost.
Best Socially Sustainable Project – Sanctuary
The rapid deployment of SAP Data Warehouse Cloud and the accelerated introduction and unification of data sources enabled Sanctuary to display critical information through its single unified platform SAP Analytics Cloud. This empowered intelligence of where, when and what impact COVID-19 was having on the lives of Sanctuary customers and employees at the most unprecedented of times, and supported its understanding and response to unchartered territory.
Best Value to Business – Electricity Supply Board
SAP S/4HANA digital platform along with SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Concur transformed the employee experience across ESBs core business processes through automation, self-serve and the delivery of training through project LEAP.
