SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP S/4HANA are two of the SAP business technology solutions that Hong Kong-headquartered Computime will deploy soon to accelerate its digitalisation.
Backed by 40 years of expertise in the design, technology, and manufacturing industry, Computime Group Limited (Computime) continues its legacy of delivering meaningful design, superior R&D capabilities, and a problem-solving mentality amidst the global pandemic and the change in company leadership in April 2020. With Bernard Auyang’s reappointment last year as an Executive Director and the Chief Executive Officer, Computime aims to ensure a seamless transition into the electronics manufacturing and Internet of Things service space with specialised and innovative solutions.
Now, Computime is embarking on an intelligent enterprise journey with the software giant SAP leveraging a suite of business technology solutions such as SAP S/4HANA and SAP Analytics Cloud with SAP Cloud Platform as the core.
Sharing about the manufacturing solutions specialist’s digital transformation strategy, Computime CEO Auyang said:
“With SAP S/4HANA as our digital foundation, we are in a position to take advantage of other SAP innovations such as SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Cloud Platform that deliver deep industry-specific capabilities. A high-tech manufacturing solutions organisation, like Computime, that invests heavily in research and engineering, has unique needs and we remain at the forefront of our industry by embracing the best new technologies.”
By leveraging SAP cloud and on-premises application services, Computime will be in a better position to drive digitalisation with more speed and stability. SAP Cloud services helps enterprises accelerate innovation and adoption in the cloud with the flexibility, elasticity, and reduced complexity and costs. This will enable Computime to achieve robust end-to-end operations, reimagine and automate its business processes to make better decisions more quickly.
“As a dynamic company, proven to be committed to transforming to seize opportunities in a fast-changing technology landscape, Computime is now moving forward even faster with SAP solutions. SAP’s value-focused approach is enabling Computime to see benefits in terms of productivity, cost savings and sales, with a low total cost of ownership, while ongoing simplification will help it continue to grow as a more agile intelligent enterprise in the future,” said Fabian Padilla Crisol, Managing Director, SAP Hong Kong.
The Chosen SAP Business Technology Solutions
Computime will be adopting the following SAP solutions as it transforms into an intelligent technology-driven enterprise:
- SAP S/4HANA will be at the core of the deployment. Serving as the backbone of the transformation project, SAP S/4HANA will be integrating standardised sales, sourcing, manufacturing, finance, and reporting processes.
SAP S4/HANA automates business processes and delivers intelligent insights, helping enterprises and their employees to make smarter decisions faster. With capabilities that utilise artificial intelligence and next-generation best practices, SAP S/4HANA empowers enterprises to achieve business goals. It harnesses the power of intelligence that optimises processes, increases planning agility, and improves product quality.
- SAP Analytics Cloud is expected to bring Computime better visibility on data, produce more customised, accurate forecasts, reports, and plans as well as better manage its workflow, from research to production and shipment. The SAP solution combines Business Intelligence (BI), augmented and predictive analytics, and enterprise planning capabilities into one cloud environment. SAP Analytics Cloud supports advanced analytics enterprise-wide as the analytics layer of SAP’s Business Technology Platform.
With live integration to SAP S/4HANA, the SAP Analytics Cloud solution enables companies to monitor enterprise data in real-time. This allows enterprises to accelerate decision-making and rapidly adapt to change based on instantaneous, in-context, analytics-driven insights.
- SAP Sales Cloud, SAP’s sales automation software for enterprises and SMEs, will enable Computime to deliver an enhanced customer experience by allowing the company to quickly and more fully respond to customer requests. By streamlining and automating critical selling processes, SAP Sales Cloud empowers the sales team with intelligent recommendations and allows them to spend more time on customer-centric engagements.
- SAP Ariba Sourcing with tight integration to Ariba Network helps companies of any size drive fast, sustainable results by automating and streamlining critical tasks involved in sourcing indirect materials and simple direct materials. Moreover, the sourcing solution can help Computime improve product profitability by reducing supplier onboarding costs and compliance risk.
- Advanced SAP financial tools let Computime gain real-time insight into global cash flow and liquidity management, which ensures secure and compliant treasury operations governance.
The intelligent enterprise journey of Computime, which has 14 offices and manufacturing sites in key markets worldwide, happens in sync with the company’s efforts in the past decade to evolve from a traditional manufacturing company into a global leader in the design and manufacturing of intelligent controls.
