SAP – NTT DATA Business Solutions Industry Partnership
Both with a massive global footprint, German software enterprise SAP and NTT DATA Business Solutions have been helping organisations transform into intelligent, sustainable enterprises leveraging the former’s industry cloud solutions and the latter’s deep industry domain expertise and business services as well as integration content and accelerators. it.calibration is one example of the innovation partnership between SAP and NTT DATA Business Solutions in the Life Sciences industry.
As a validated app on the SAP Store, it.calibration now has the global reach to help customers in the Life Sciences industry modernise their device calibration processes with an SAP-validated solution from a trusted global innovator such as NTT DATA Business Solutions. The vertical solution offers online result recording, fully integrated via OData services with the back end SAP ERP system. Whether on Apple iOS or the Android operating system, the native app for tablets can integrate to the SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA backend system through SAP BTP.
By automating documentation of measuring device calibration tasks, it.calibration is reported to reduce 50-60{aa282f308afcc222aaa21b0478c79e01a8fedd01972e2180867097bd93930f22} of processing time and significantly cut down release time for production equipment. It enables organisations to manage calibration results in compliance with GMP/GAMP (Good (Automated) Manufacturing Practice and CSV (Computer System Validation). Moreover, the latest SAP Industry Cloud solution offers cost-efficiency by not requiring a separate (non-SAP) calibration management application, essentially lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO).
“Companies reap the benefits of using it.calibration immediately. The device calibration’s quality forms the basis for further digitisation en route to a smart factory,” said Jan Ammann, Global Head of Industry & LoB Collaboration at NTT DATA Business Solutions AG. “The inclusion of it.calibration in SAP’s industry cloud for life sciences reiterates not only the quality of this product but also its strategic significance as a solution across all sectors. Reliable measurement data are an important success factor in the digitization process.”
